fohat Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 in addition to the harmonic mixing topic we had here lately, i discovered something yesterday which is imo a big step forward in providing good service for original cd buyers: inside the booklet of the actual s-range remix cd, the track listing contains not only track names and bpm values it contains also the listing of the keys of the tracks. is this new? are there any other releases containing this kind of information inside booklets? although i just started to be interested in this harmonic mixing thing, i would be really happy if this will be standard in the future.

krelmatrix Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 It's also like that in the Voice of Cod album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krelmatrix Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Funny - it all seems to be releases from the Liquid/Organic posse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Matta Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 A very good idea. Why haven't they been doing that all along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsu Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I really like that! The PBMs I've seen in several CDs but not the keys. That's really special but very usefull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I agree, great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inducted Consciousness Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 That is actually a pretty good idea, even if these values can be found out through simple experimentation. Although for key signature, I don't think some of these new teen-bopper Fruityloops producers would actually know what it is. Alright, excuse my mild humour.

Basilisk Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Does anyone have the time to experiment with a whole collection? If you're going to build a harmonic set that also has a flow in terms of energy, mood, and style... you need a LOT of keyed tracks. I should know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarus Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 If you play a set in only a key it gets kinda boring doesnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fohat Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 If you play a set in only a key it gets kinda boring doesnt it? 446452[/snapback] it depends. if you play only a couple of tracks within the same key area (or fitting keys) before changing to another key area with a couple of tracks you have enough variety but still kind of harmonic flow.

electric blue Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 a huge bpm-key-keycode database anyone? i volunteer for such a thing, but cant manage alone.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electric blue Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 If you play a set in only a key it gets kinda boring doesnt it? 446452[/snapback] there are mixable keys, so you can have keyflow in a harmonically mixed set for examples, you can listen to my radio program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I studied music for a year now and i still have no idea how can i hear the key of the tune. Some people do it from the birth and for some people it takes years of training.

If you use FLS, you're a tonedeath skazi wannabe, if you use cubase or logic you got perfect pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin OOOD Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 It's also like that in the Voice of Cod album. 445534[/snapback] The Voice of Cod album goes a step further, and gives you to-scale pictures of the audio waveform of each tune (with a scale calibrated in minutes across the top) so DJs can see how each track flows... as far as I know, Liquid Ross and I came up with the idea of putting track keys on the artwork independantly; however the waveform idea is all mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icarus Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Or actually train your ears.. There is something called Golden Ears Audio Eartraining that can train your ears so you can have perfect pitch, or at least the closest someone can have. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they'd play melodies and chords back to us and have us write them down in notation without seeing what was played.. it was really hard, but i guess it trains the ear pretty well.

RTP Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 inside the booklet of the actual s-range remix cd, the track listing contains not only track names and bpm values it contains also the listing of the keys of the tracks. Aha, I see, so that's those letters ... Ialready thought about asking here interesting it's the first CD I see with such thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
