Kodiak Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Just going through and linking a few of the mixes I have actually done. Heard this again on my iPod tonight and thought I would chuck it up. Certainly not my best work, and there was no intention of that. I had just bought Mixed in Key and wanted to experiment with how well this works by doing a live mix (unusual for me) using the miK theory to mix essentially random songs. Songs I knew, but was unsure how they would sound together.As I said, this is a live mix from me, which none of the other mixes I have provided here are. I am usually extremely meticulous with the planning of my mixes. I don't play live and have no real intentions of doing so. I will practise this more though as it is a required skill for the game. But listening through I was surprised at how well I did, especially towards the end.To me this proved the harmonic mixing theory as I think this mix has no real nasty conflicting sounds to it. The key progression for those interested are: 5A > 6A > 7A > 2A > 1A > 3A > 4A > 5AIf anyone is really interested I could organise a download for you.

GREMM1S Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 The theory is you can only move one unit on the camelot wheel, and 1a to 3a might be worse than 1a - 6a, it all depends on the relationships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The affect in theory is much the same as key modulation used in many songs.I also did this intentionally to see how it would sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 A really good example of this, for those not following at home is this song...Listen from 3:15 and at 3:24 it goes from a key of Em to Gm for the outro, which is actually a very unusual modulation, but it works.
