Once found the key, I would then write it down. I used to key all my tracks with a pitch pipe before Mixed in Key was introduced in the market. This newly developed algorithm was released in Version 3.0, with the latest version being 8.5. This was done by combining the original Tornart with a custom-in house algorithm, for which Mixed in Key was granted a patent. Since May 2007, Mixed in Key has continued to make improvements on this key detection algorithm. The initial Tornart algorithm only had a modest Windows-based demo that was unable to process a huge collection of audio files at once. Not too long afterward, development for a version that would be compatible with Mac OS X began, with a version finally being released on June 4, 2006.Īs a key detection software, Mixed in Key runs on the Tornart key detection algorithm developed by Zplane, which has been used to make the Elastique real-time pitching algorithms that have been employed by well-known software such as Native Instruments and Ableton. The first version of Mixed in Key was developed for a Windows interface and consequently released on March 25, 2006. Mixed in Key can also be used as a tool in music production for analysis of samples. In addition to allowing you to edit track metadata (song title, artist) manually, it also lets you analyze all your WAV and MP3 files in readiness for mixing in key. Mixed in Key, sometimes referred to as MIK is a software for both Windows and MacOS that is used by top DJs and producers to simplify the technique of harmonic mixing.
