![]() Tl dr mixed in key can trap you, your ears free you, use your ears. I had so much fun yesterday and felt so free, expressing the songs as feelings more than in key copies of each other. Am I looking forward to attempting it again, abso-freaking-lutely. I made the best mix I've made in months, mixed for an hour, danced in my room alone, and had an amazing jam out time. I did something novel, I would compare the tracks in the headphones before playing it live through the speakers and decide if it sounded correct before using it, instead of letting a program decide for me. I got 30 some odd new songs and decided I wasn't going to touch mixed in key and just trust my ear (I've had countless years of musical training, why I didn't just trust this from the start I've no idea). ![]() Two days ago I was fed up with it all and had had enough. It became so frustrating I didn't practice for quite awhile because every time I sat down to make a mix it either sounded the exact same as the one the day before or the songs, although in the same key, lacked the proper flow and made the mix sound like a mess (in the correct key though.). It got to the point where mixed in key was basically picking the songs for me and I was growing more and more afraid of going outside the box and picking a song that wasn't one step away on the camelot system. I would search for songs based on key (1a, 2a, 3b, etc) instead of what would sound good next. I went forward, pushed all my songs through it, grabbed the keys, and it was magical, no more clashing of tunes, the songs all played well over each other, and I thought I had found the next step in improving my mixing.Īs I continued to practice though, I realized a lot of songs were following each other often, and that I began to feel like only certain songs fit together. I got mixed in key about 6 months ago thinking it was the greatest thing ever, and how it was going to vastly improve my mixing, make it sound cleaner, allow for better mashups, yadda yadda yadda. ![]() New and looking for advice? /r/Beatmatch.r/Beatmatch - for learning to DJ! /r/Controllerism /r/DJsCirclejerk /r/DJSetups /r/EDMproduction /r/Mixes /r/MobileDJ /r/RotaryMixers /r/SoundSystem /r/Turntablists /r/VinylDJs /r/VJing /r/WeAreTheMusicMakers /r/WhiteLabelsĬommunityWalk Map - Map of r/DJs members! > Unofficial DJs Discord <- Also check out PLEASE REPORT posts and comments that violate the above rules or just suck.
