Just when you think it can't get more complicated(and cool), I hear about Harmonic mixing. One question I have yet to see answered....
So you pick your songs based on key but what happens when you screw that plan by moving from 120bpm to 123bpm. You not only change the speed but also the key unless you use a plug-in to change the tempo w/o changing the key?
What am I missing?

unless you quite drastically change the speed of a track (w/o keylock) you are only changing the semitone which a smaller increment within a key. it largely depends on the style of music you play. my experience in house music, you only need to use keylock when you are picking two tracks that have fundamentally different keys to begin with and are heavy with harmony. most electronic music these days is about simple melody and most often work together.
you can also subjugate the problem by waiting long enough to mix (w/o keylock) when the track is dropping down to a simple rhythm structure. |
