    Yes, although you could consider Rapid Evolution 2 or BeaTunes, or just using the key analysis in Virtual DJ. But Mixed in Key is simple to use and works well. Here’s our review of Mixed in Key.

    Cheers Phil,

    Am I going to run into metadata problems again with my WAVs?

    Jem

    Yup, no metadata bar the filename on WAVs – but I think MIK can write to filenames…

    I don’t consciously mix harmonically at the moment, just by what my ear tells me goes with what, but fancy trying the science.

    Cheers for any feedback.

    Hello Jem :);
    Harmonic Mixing was an Absolute Revelation to me;
    Until I read the Review on DDDT (The Second Review); I wasn’t interested in finding the Small Amount it Costs; and just Ignored the Possibility of what it could do for me;
    Now; I Seriously Wouldn’t Be Without It;
    Once I have Renamed my Tracks; before even Using them in any Software; I put the Tracks Through Miked In Key;
    Beatmatching (or even just BPM Matching) is Cool; but there is No Way – unless you are prepared to sit down with a Keyboard on Every Track you Own to Work Out The Key; which I Definitely Wasn’t (even though I am Musically Trained – or at least my Certificate says so :)); but the Realisation that 2 Tracks will Actually Mix Together and you Never have to Worry about ‘Trainwrecking’ through ‘Key Clashes’ is like having your Eyes (Ears) Opened For The First Time; … How could I Possibly have Known that The Prodigy Mixes Harmonically with Ricky Martin ? (Just a Hypothetical Question); but to Know/Realise that they Do; is Nothing Short Of Amazing when you Hear it for the First Time; and so; although I use Mixed In Key as a ‘Guidline’; rather than a ‘Be All and End All’; the Concern/Worry about whether 2 Tracks will ‘Clash’ is Literally Gone Forever :cool:;
    Our Ears Are Our Ultimate Tool Of Course; and so No Software is Perfect; but if Mixed In Key gets it Wrong in 1 out of 200 Attempts; that is Money Well Spent in my Book 🙂

    Thanks Emma, think I’ll give it a go – I’ll let you know what I think!
