Accuracy of free software called Keyfinder
Posted on: 12.09.2013 by Season Bergere
Hello.

Do any of you use Keyfinder?

How accurate do you find it?

I don't have another program to compare the key results with that's why I'm asking.

Don't compare one program's results to another, as people said you can only compare with your ear and keyboard (if you have a perfect pitch) . Stick with one software and you'll be fine.
KeyFinder is fast, gets decent results, uses CamelotKeys (01A, 02A,..etc ) when you input them as custom keys and more importanty - it's free unlike MiK and others
Write keys to comment field of id3 tags and enjoy a hassle free harmonic mixing in DJ programs

I have another question

I put in the custom key codes in the preferences section, but it saves the key as Amin for example instead of 8A - why?
Because I put 8A in the custom code in this instance.

Also it sometimes puts the same key - example, Detected Gm is given as Cmin, and also Detected Cm is given as Cmin - so why both?

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies.

I checked it out but don't know which entries to put in each custom key box?

keying software generally favors minor keys to avoid the issue of relative majors and minors because 99.9% of good dance music is in minor

Your ear and a keyboard are usually the best option for accuracy. Using a key finder software will give you a starting point at least. Sometimes the misread key is a related key like C major and A minor.

I can't remember where I saw the Dubspot comparison. Here it is http://blog.dubspot.com/endo-harmoni...tion-analysis/

In the article are compared three progams, the most accurate is 42% - really bad isn't it?

The DJTT Blog has an article on the different Key finding software somewhere. I also believe Endo at Dubspot did one recently too.
I would google it for you, but I'm lazy.
