0:01 A short video on the new version of Zone Mixed in Key

Alright guys, a short video on the new version of Zone Mixed in Key. Top left hand corner we've got what's known as the Camelot wheel. I've got a bunch of tracks there that I've already put through the program. Name, Artist, Key and Tempo BPM. What I do like about this, I've dragged up this guy here, a track entitled So Many Times. It's the Club Mix by Alexander Prince. We've got this in the key of 8A, but also we can see it goes down to 7A, back up to 8 and down to 7.

Good thing about this, it's now giving you a visual interpretation of the key changes. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to go to this area here. Just before it goes from 8A to 7A. Have a listen. Press play.

There. Right, let's go from there up to 8.

1:21 You know, maybe it will change, as we can see here

Might have just missed it there.

Now, let's try over here. From 8 down to the 8. The 7.

Listen. And there.

Alright, for people who aren't familiar, let's say, with keys, it's a great way of actually seeing the way the keys change. A lot of people seem to think that if a track starts in one key, it'll finish in one key. Well, it won't. You do have a bridge. You know, maybe it will change, as we can see here. Let's go to another track. The Night. That's 6A, 7A, back to 6A. Starts at 6A. Starts here, 6, 7, and then back to 6. Let's see if we can find a track that is one key. Alright, this guy here is 7A. Loving you more. That big track. Original Club Mix. Your mouse is going all over the place. And artist is Mosquito. 7A, 126 BPM. If we have a look on the Camelot wheel here, we can see 7A there. So, I'm going to drag that over up there.

Oh, sorry, it's already there. Duh. And press play. What I'm going to do... I'm going to flick through the track. I want you to listen, close your eyes, and listen to the key. It doesn't change. I'm going to go down here, a track, Rush Hour, Quadra Beat Remix by Breaking News, 4A, 136 BPM.

3:29 You've got almost a really good lift

One good way of also building your mix is to go through the keys, let's say for example, A1 to A2. Maybe say A2 to another A2, then A2 to A3. Maybe A3 to A4. And then if you wanted to, you could have a bit of a jump. Go from A4 all the way to A6. So, you've got almost a really good lift. A good way of mixing, say, a track from A4 to A6 is to have a chop. Have a very abrupt transition from one tune to the other, okay? Alright, a quick video on this guy. It's the latest software edition of Mixed in Key by Zone. What we'll do... As usual, I'll put a link in the description that will take you to the website. Go and check it out. There's a bunch of tutorials. You can read about it, etc. But it may help you. Practice and enjoy.

Thank you very much.
