Thanks to everyone for their input!
Looks like I'll stop development on this app and focus my efforts elsewhere.
edit: ya it was only for droid, but if it was well received I would also make it for apple. |

Something. That is needed is a real time analysis tool that can then convert that to a master clock so live players and loop based guys can play together.
and if you want an idea that would be simple to do, in huge demand yet still not around are groove templates that take into account the tension created by various instruments so that to actually is a groove rather than one section which everything is then hard quantized to,
A spectrogram is really all you need to take measuments. And then it is a matter of going thru classic grooves and you will be able to mimic say a certain rhythm section that would follow event the most notable musicians.
And other than a few max msp patches with akward, GUIs , mixmeister is the best one around. Most will do this before importing to traktor which has terrible algorithms. |

Yeah, I use it all the time. I run the BPM analyser and Mixed In Key over just about every track I DJ with these days. It helps come up with ideas of what tracks mix together really well, and to plan out mixes of course. |
you don't strike me as the lazy type. why not key the music yourself? |

some people are better at other things ? Besides , you don't technically have a key unless you have a dominant chord to make the track tonal so at least the terrible understanding and misinterpretation of theory is on those other guys. Anyways, i would say it is just faster considering tracks these days don't modulate, and the tone centre is pretty much the bass note that is taking the most emphasis.
he should tale the time not doing it and go for a walk and run in a field of flowers |

It's just far quicker and it remembers its results so you can easily look anything up. It doesn't get it right 100% of the time but it's a lot more reliable than Beatport's key recognition. I always trust my own ears over the software anyway. |

I've never understood this. Why doesn't the label or the artist just report the key to beatport? Seems absolutely ridiculous, at least for new tracks, that they have use a crappy and inaccurate analysis tool rather than just making this part of the submittal process. |

How different are they? I've noticed that Beatport fails to give the proper BPM for the same tracks that confuse Mixmeister, for instance :stongue: |

| Beatport seems to have a bizarre habit of confusing major and minor keys, or identifying something as the key next door on the circle of fifths to what it really is. |

I tend to be sceptical anyway, I guess that's why I never noticed it. Besides, I don't think I've ever bought a single track in a major key.
Have I? HHmmm... I don't think that's common at all in neurofunk :p |

| I would have thought your tastes in manic, energetic stuff would increase the chances of finding stuff in major keys. A lot of the quite big and poppy drum 'n bass tracks are in major keys, for example. |
