![]() ![]() Major ones worth noting: an improved key detection algorithm, the ability to export cue points to RekordBox, and a new UI. Its latest iteration, Mixed In Key 10, celebrates 15 years of the software – and introduces a number of new features that DJs and producers can utilize in their creative endeavors. Some are affected positive, some negative, hence.With fifteen years of key detection software under its belt, Mixed In Key has become a household name for many artists. So I converted all tracks to a low bitrate, 128kbps Constant Bitrate in MP3 format.Ĭonclusion: Although it shifts 12 tracks to a different key, overall - based on 1341 tracks - the accuracy is still the same: 76,5%. Some people claim the quality of the track, bitrate-wise, have effect on how accurate the key is determined. See spreadsheet, tab "PLATINUM NOTES TEST"īONUS 4: Comparison - Original bitrate & Low bitrate (128kbps CBR mp3) vs. Some are affected positive, some negative, hence. It might alter the key in a positive way, so MIK can determine them more accurate.Ĭonclusion: Although it shifts 22 tracks to a different key, overall - based on 1341 tracks - the accuracy is still the same: 76,5%. the pitch correction I thought was interesting in this test. It corrects pitch, improves volume and makes every file ready to play anywhere."Įsp. What is platinum notes? "Platinum Notes uses studio filters to process your files. 76,9% accuracy with no vocals.īONUS 3: Comparison - Untouched tracks & processed by Platinum Notes vs. Since key detection software scores better (90%-100%) when feeding it pure chords, than when feeding it full tracks (~76,5% at best), What if MIK would separate tracks 1st & try to determine the key on this data instead?Ĭonclusion: No marginal difference. In total 192 chords are played.Ĭonclusion: Only Mixed In Key scores 100% accuracy.īONUS 2: Comparison - AI Stems vs. Therefore, I left the 'membranophone' category out. I've picked 8 instruments (2 for each musical instrument category: chordophone, electrophone, aerophone, idiophone), that are able to play chords. I think that's fair, since I use this margin on all apps in this particular KEYFINDER v2 dataset.īONUS 1: Comparison - All 24 chords played by several instruments (in my DAW) vs. So I decided to subtract a margin of error of 2,3%. There are some Ibrahim's VIP mixes in his dataset, I couldn't get my hands on, there are some tracks that might have been played in different keys due a different version, or recorded from vinyl. The most plausible reason for this, is that I didn't use the exact same tracks to begin with. KeyFinder 2 never received an update after his test, I assume. A difference of 26 tracks that are correct in his, while they aren't in mine. There is a difference between how KeyFinder 2 scores better in his test compared to mine (counting the relative keys + perfect matches together): 736 vs. Note #3: When done with my comparison, I've compared the outcome with the test results of KeyFinder's Comparison in 2016 See column AQ for this loose calculation. However I would not count the non-keyed tracks as wrong, but simply leave them out of the calculation, PLUS decide to pick the right key out of the 2 values manually, MIK would score ~0,8% better: ~77,4% accuracy So I've excluded the 2nd value in my calculations. I've counted them as 'wrong'.Īlso MIK sometimes outputs 2 keys for the same track (40 out of 1341 in total), though your DJ-software reads the %INITIALKEY% tag, which is the 1st value of these 2. NOTE #2: Mixed In Key is the only one that didn't determine the key of some tracks (4 out of 1341 in total). NOTE #1: The relative Major or minor of the determined key is also considered ‘right’, as they share exactly the same notes. ![]() At the bottom you'll find the summary + methodology. I've included the results in a spreadsheet, with a round-up per dataset below each list. The tracks used in this test are based on those that were keyed by ear in the following previous datasets: Just like I did last year, but this time with the latest versions of the applications this July 2020.īased on 1341 tracks in total(!) to make it more solid + added Engine Prime & djay Pro results too. Also included Beatport results, see spreadsheet tab 'BEATPORT TEST'. UPDATE 30-7-2020: Thanks to /u/Sityi, I was able to include DJUCED aswell: and for a reason. ![]()
