How To key match Video Tutorial 4/5

Summery

Andy Touchfingers mixes his fully keyed,fully prepared dj mix. As you will see in this video, each of the tracks go together well and the sounds complement each other musically.

You may also learn how to expose and hide different elements of each track if you watch and listen closely.

Andy also explains that the second track has some strange drops that might not make the two tracks a perfect match (although they were perfectly matched MUSICALLY).

For the next track in the mix, andy goes through the circle of fifths chart to help determine what is the next track that would be in the best key to continue the mix. After you figure out how to do it once, you can plan out the rest of your DJ set by the keys of each track!

Mixing in Key (Naturally): DJing Tutorial Part 1 of 5

 

Mixing in Key Video tutorial Summery

This 1st video in our 5 part djing tutorial video series is an overview of what keyed mixing is and how you can begin starting to create sets that are mixed in key.

Andy goes over why keyed mixing sounds good, why it is important, the different keys and structures of songs that make them easier or harder to mix together in a musically sound, keyed dj blend. Different genres and different tracks mixed together will compliment each other more when mixed in key. When you match the tonal centers of two tracks, their individual parts may combine within a mix to create more energy and a greater listening experience: the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
