On Harmonic Mixing

[abZ]

finding key matches by intuition anyway. I dont want to say by accident because it's not.

the best way to do it without a doubt.
if you buy your vinyls and get to know the tunes youll know whats going to work. works perfect in the club too: you start off with 3-4 tunes planned in advance, watch how the crowds liking it, and then roll from there on instinct.

Yeah I know guys that will play the same set 3 gigs in a row. They don't care as long as it's perfect. If you want perfect stay at home and listen to a studio mix. I play on the edge of disaster all the time. Generally I do have some pretty bad fuck ups. It's the price you pay to hear something conceived on the spot. It's what keeps things fun for myself as well.

For me I've found rapid RAPID EVOLUTION quite accurate!

..The one thing I don't care for is the number system.. just one question.. why?
I label all my tunes with the actual key they are in.. not some number assigned to a key.
To me it seems more simple and a better representation of the song

I wouldn't play a lead or progression in 1A, so why would I label my tunes that way?

I am 100% with you. We already have a pretty good system with a through g no?

I think the idea was to bring the circle of fifths to those who lack a musical background. It's nomenclature - talking about music is like dancing about politics.

The original Harmonic Keys Overlay Chart required memorization of the the relationship of 12 minor and 12 major keys, which took countless hours for people with no music education. I created the Camelot Easymix Wheel in 1991 because it allows people to easily choose harmonically compatible tracks without music education. It's as easy as telling time.

People with music education are encouraged to use the original Circle of Fifths. The Easymix system is intended for the majority without music education. It is just a shortcut, which explains its adoption as the industry standard. Nothing more, nothing less.

evidence of "industry standard"?

[abZ]

No one I know in the industry uses it. Just sayin'.

All leading key detection software companies (MixedInKey, Rapid Evolution, and Mixmeister) use codes for keys, in addition to Camelot Sound using keycodes since 1991.

I don't even really want to get into this. I have argued with one of the developers of this system before, and will again heheh.

Fixed
