FOR SERATO: A FEATURE TO KNOW WHAT KEY SONGS ARE IN

3L3M3NTS 2:46 AM - 7 December, 2011
Serato needs to add a feature that shows what key songs are in

I guess we still need to use 3rd party stuff like MixedInKey or ears and piano to get the key... The way to see tagged key is pretty simple (as you probably know)

However, why analyze files more than once?

I also hope to see this feature soon

It would be great to choose which key notation to view; such as flats, sharps and camelot.

Keep on posting and maybe the people at Serato will make it happen! Would be awesome if they could put it in the next downloadable version

this feature would also be great for serato especially for us dj's using key notes for mixing :)

Especially when you speed the song up/down and it changes key. It would be awesome to know what key the song is in now.

The key is shown to the left of bpm... but obviously you need a seperate program to detect the key first. I use Rapid evolution- though im not sure how accurate it is.

+1 for this. Being able to view camelot value would be very useful

All you really need to know is that plus or minus 6 percent takes you up or down a half-step, as in from A to B-flat, or A to A-flat.

I will always prefer the "by ears" method, partly because the software is wrong a lot of the time. Partly because "by ears" enforces a bit of discipline as to actually paying some attention to what newly-added songs sound like. Partly because putting "A-flat major" in the comments field means a hell of a lot more to me than some otherwise-meaningless code.
