Basscreators Guide to Harmonic Mixing!!!

[pussygalore113]

if ur a good dj u can mix anything.. mixing in key seems more for a mash-up of 2 songs instead of continuous mix of tracks

[Spakkovernichter]

these guys are to ugly

to watch the video,

i can`t stand it!!!!

[inflabby]

what's the second song that was mixed ?

[hoyl13]

Effin' E-tards haha

[tomijj]

If anyone wants to know what happens when meth hits your suburb...

[f2007564]

just at the very first moment where that teen**** says HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

and was not necessary to watch that video

[Landotaimingraleat]

@f2007564 sO rITE.

[RubenDekkerr]

This is what most dj programs call the 'Key lock' function right?

[StoneCut]

It would be great if a software would automatically display the new musical key of a song when speeding it up/slowing it down WITHOUT using time stretching (classical vinyl pitching, for example).

[hallobaaaby]

same key is koel, but what about BPMs--you use time stretch??

[hoodw2]

does modifying the pitch change the key of song?

[basscreators]

@hoodw2 yes, but most players or programs have built in ways to keep the same key no matter how much you change the pitch.

[nusphere]

@basscreators this responce makes no sense! Changing the pitch changes the key every time unless you change the pitch by an entire octave, but that would be horrible in most cases.

[basscreators]

@nusphere whatever you say bro

[nusphere]

@basscreators You can however change the tempo of a song in most modern DJ and audio production/performance software without changing the pitch; enabling a faster or slower playback yet retaining the key. Perhaps this is what you meant?

[StoneCut]

@nusphere

That's incorrect. Most MP3 software nowadays use Time-Stretching when changing "speed" (note, how I don't use the word "pitch"). This means that the key stays the same, no matter what the speed of the music. Alternatively, you can change the pitch of a song without changing its speed. AND you can speed up a song but lower its pitch at the same time. This usually has the disadvantage of creating crappy sound quality as signals with a sharp amplitude such as kick drums will get softer.

[nusphere]

@StoneCut hmmm... I'm not sure what you said implies that my comment was incorrect? I was simply informing "basscreators" that if you change the pitch of a sound then you change it's key, because they are different aspects of the same phenomena. You can however, as you confirmed, change pitch/frequency/key independent of tempo/speed. Perhaps you should read comments more carefully before responding.

[StoneCut]

@nusphere

Ok, now I see why basscreators is ignoring you ...

[jpa1234321]

@nusphere players now have key lock so only the tempo changes and they key remains the same

[nusphere]

@jpa1234321 I'm not sure that what you have said is anything different from what I have said? I have already stated that tempo and pitch may be changed independent of each other. Pitch and key, however, are different words for the same phenomena and therefore cannot be changed independent of each other.

[ShiftySheep]

@nusphere Most CD decks and software have built in key locks so you can change the pitch without effecting the key.

Peace!

[nusphere]

@hoodw2 yes it does

[getntheredj]

Jesus, weirdos.

[nusphere]

@getntheredj whats a Jesus weido?

[DeejayFrenkie]

hi guys good tutorial ,

[BOOBOOSD]

I do the same thing with FL Studio. I play a long to my favorite EDM tracks to figure out the key.

[djsixottawa]

Very good effort on explaining the basics of harmonic mixing, folks!

[demonicrubberducky]

Thanx very much for the vid guys, i'm planning to dj happy hardcore, and this vid has really taught me a lot about... harmonic mixing and stuff man ^^

And i enjoy your sense of humor xP

[basscreators]

you're very welcome.

if you ever have a question about djing, you can always feel free to ask us. :)

[kartooned2]

what about for hip hop . how would i key the songs . do you guys think you can do a video about hip hop keying also . please i really need something like that .

[basscreators]

essentially, it's the same method. you have to listen to the tones of the song. i will say that some songs (regardless of genre) have no real melody, and there for no key.

for example, the classic hip-hop track "Top Billin'" by Audio Two is just a beat and rhymes. I would say that it can't be keyed because it doesn't have a melody.

but "Crank That" by Soulja Boy has a very defined melody, and therefore with practice can be easy to key. it's key is C Minor, and that translates to the code 5A.

[phokus24]

I have windows. What software instrument would you guys recommend?

[webcamboy]

shadap ..

[basscreators]

im sorry what

[webcamboy]

stfu bitch

[basscreators]

lolwut

[lysergicaddict]

you guys are awesome for appreciating music like you do.

its always been intriguing to ponder why/how tones have certain emotions. I play synthesizers and I swear Ive sat for hours listening to a single tone analyzing why it does what it does in the brains/hearts of different people...

thanks for the insight, didnt know such software existed, my friend has scratch live so he'll be telling me to thank you, so thank you for him

[basscreators]

you're welcome! :)

[demonicrubberducky]

to lysergicaddict; hey, if you're into that sort of music psychology stuff, look up this genre called 'Noise music [i am not kidding].' It's very experimental, jarring, abrasive stuff; though it gives most people death-migrains if you know what i mean, I enjoy listening to it once in a while, it's quite an experience. For examples of prime noise artists, check out Masonna and Merzbow

[abdallah3]

great video guys. thanks for taking time to explain what to do and how to do it (even though we messaged each other about it lol) damn right!
