![]() If it isn’t done already, set your 1:1:1’s and get your warp markers established.Drag and drop the 12A / Dbm filtered track names from MIK to your Ableton Session View clip grid. ![]() Once analyzing is complete, click MIK’s Browse tab, then click the colored 12:00 (12A / Dbm) hour wedge in the inner clock face – The inner ring is minor keys, which are far more common with modern electronic tracks than majors – This will filter the list to show library tracks in that one key only – in this case, 12A / Dbm, based on your preferences – mine is set to Flats.Analyze your tracks with Mixed in Key – at least 20 songs to start since you’ll need enough for each key grouping – Although analyzing is quick, it does take some time (and an internet connection, wtf?) – I typically do it the moment I purchase and download my digital tracks, and before warping in Ableton.How I use Mixed in Key with Ableton DJ sets: A clash of melodies that can snap people right out of their zone, and right off the dance floor. You’ve heard it before: two tracks that should NOT be playing at the same time. Using the Camelot wheel, which is the same as the Circle of Fifths clock face, transitioning between tracks around adjacent “hours” will yield a pleasant, polished and professional blend that sounds natural and harmonic to the listener’s ears. With this method, you can deliver a super smooth journey, and discover unexpected and powerful mixes and mash-ups along the way. Mixed in Key is an affordable solution that scans your library to detect the key (and energy level) of each track added. Take your DJ sets to a new level by learning to mix tracks of the same, or complementary root key.
