    To answer your first question, that’s anybody’s guess. I know DJTT does a key detection program roundup and is planning on redoing it since Serato is doing it’s own key analysis now.

    To answer your last two questions, no.

    best of Luck!

    So far I cannot detect much difference in the key detected in Serato or MIK. I cannot say if it overwrites the tag as I have my MIK set to only write the key into the comment field.

    Its interesting to see that I had received an email with Serato Movi g sale, and it was advertising Mixed In Key on thier website. So maybe Serato and MIK have gone in partnership for Serato key detection.

    I normally use MIK to analyse my tunes before importing them into Serato. The key appears in the key column but I also add this to my comments column too. I have nothing to compare them again, but I thought that I would re-analyse the tune BPM and keys I am preparing for my latest mix, as part of the new Serato update, and found that about 50% now show different keys. So I am a bit confused as to what is correct? Any ideas?

    Well … with MiK being 95% correct, I’d venture a guess that most of the values returned by Serato are wrong.

    Theoretically your observation means that out of 100 tracks, of which 95% (at least) are correctly keyed, meaning only 5 can be wrong. You noticed that 50 now have a different key. Best case is that Serato got the 5 right that MiK got wrong. Leaving 45 tracks wrong.

    I had already decided that I will stick with MiK unless something else comes along with a 100% succes rate.

    Well, it would seem that Mixed In Key still reigns supreme although Serato 1.8 is coming up pretty fast….. Think for now I’ll be sticking with MIK but may make the switch in Serato 1.9…..
