![]() Most new DJ’s probably find the key of their tracks using a bit of software. I’m not going to turn this post into a tutorial on exactly how to do that because you’ll have no trouble finding a better one online than I could write anyway. Very basically, you then set about finding the key on your keyboard that is the best match with the tune that you’re playing. You’ll need a little bit of kit though…either a piano (should you happen to have one lying around), a synth or a virtual software piano/synth keyboard (what I use). ![]() Learning how to do this by ear really is a great skill to have and it’s actually not that difficult. You only need to do that if you’re trying to impress other DJ’s…most normal people don’t care that much. Yes, it’s important to not totally key clash, but you don’t need to make every mix perfectly harmonic. What you need to know as a DJ is that if you want to blend tracks perfectly, it’s better to mix in keys that compliment each other.īut you shouldn’t get too hung-up about mixing in key all the time. Some keys compliment each other and sound great together, while other keys clash with each other and sound pretty bad together. There are others but we’re not going to worry about those right now.

First things first…harmonic mixing, mixing in key…they’re the same thing.
