Mixed in key worth it?

Quick question. I've had MIK for awhile now and have never used it. I know, I know. Just finished analyzing all my tracks. Now what? Do I need to re-import all my songs into iTunes, or will iTunes already know what's up?

If I was new to music that statement would be good but seeing how I have never based a mix on key progression in the past 13 years and have always gone on what I believe sounds good base on my ears. I merely wanted to see if it was reliable enough to base a mix soley on what it has told me is the key. Which I believe it is fairly accurate likely enough to blindly trust it

I bought MIK before Traktor 2.61 came out and I believe it is worth it. I use it to for finding the key and BPM that way I can organize my playlist in iTunes before importing to Traktor. I also like to compare the BPM from MIK to Traktor to be sure it is correct since Traktor does not always get it right.

for genres like minimal, tech house etc harmonic mixing is irrelevant as you are just mixing in the intro/outro beats for the most part. in my experience it is most useful with progressive house, progressive trance, psytrance etc.
mixed in key is still a great app, but if it still has that stupid "needs to be online" feature, thats a bunch of bullshit. i'm using ibsh' keyfinder as it is 10x quicker and just as, if not more accurate.
there is a comparison article on the blog comparing some of these apps.

I believe MIK is great, and was worth the money for me as traktor hadn't introduced key analysis when I bought it (either that or I stilil hadn't figured it out!). I find it to be accurate and makes my sets a lot more interesting and dynamic, being able to mix harmonically, but as the post above mentions, its definitely worth knowing your way around some simple music theory (I.e the circle of fifths), unless you have perfect pitch, or relative pitch, in which case I am very envious?

Does anyone in here have perfect/relative pitch?

In my experience, Traktor probably gets it right about 50% of the time - and I've never used MIK.

What I normally do when importing a track is let the program analyze it. Then I'll play the song and grab my guitar (or piano, etc, whatever works for you), and play that chord with the song. If it sounds incorrect, I'll try to figure it out on my own. Also, if the track is available on Beatport, I'll also check to see what they have set as the key. I've noticed Beatport to be very accurate.

Also, when I'm doing this, I'll switch the key display from "Open Key" to "Musical" (I believe you can find this under Analyze Options under Traktor config, or something like that), just because it's a little easier to play a Cm on a guitar or piano rather than a 5m, or whatever it is hah.

This all takes a little bit of knowledge of music theory, but it's pretty basic but does help ensure accuracy. And hey, you're working with music anyway, it's always good to brush up on the basics!

Edit I've spent 60bones on a lot worse things
