Jaz Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 ive decided im going to steal armins way from this thread http://www.ausdjforums.com/modules.php? ... pic&t=4769it seems pretty smart/gooddont have a printer for CD's so ill just write on them, will look dodgey but meh, i aint world class my question is, how does he find the exact BPM? or is he just wacking them into a CD player n trusting what it says...?and even harder, how would a noob like me go about finding the Key's these songs are in...?

Gandy Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 for keyshttp://www.mixedinkey.com/bpm just load it into either audacity or traktor i imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 yeh found a good BPM anylizer, it does whole playlists rather then 1 at a time, seems legit, have checked it against songs i already know the BPM ofhave decided not to worry about Key's yet as im not even skilled enough to mix in key yet ill let future jaz worry about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggssell Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 for keys i dont know. for bpm how about getting a stop watch counting the beats in 30 seconds and just double it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 hahahaha that wouldnt take long for 100's of songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggssell Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 yeah but yer burning one disc per song. im pretty sure burning takes more than 30 seconds.any program is gonna be off for a portion even more so on the non 4 x 4 dance songs. tsp pretty much got 80% of the hip hop tracks i brought in wrong. admittedly the bulk was just double the speed, but some were nowhere near (saying 100 when it was 72).

Jaz Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 was only doing Key's and not BPM, wasnt really accurate/couldnt make up its mind on the keyclick determin 3 times in a row and get 2-3 different keys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubby Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 did you run on maximum accuracy setting? can be pretty slow, something you setup and leave running overnight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattus123 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 i had the exact same problem with rapid evolutioni was literally bout to post a thread asking how accurate its key detection iswen i imported songs into the library, some songs already had a key given, (im guessin it had been written into the description of the song)but if i used rapid evolution to detect the key, it would come back with a different result to the already given keyso it kinda made me question the accuracy of it?can anyone comment on the accuracy of rapid evolution?

Jaz Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 OMG around 100 CD's done, i do not recommend doing this unless you have a couple of days to kill sitting at a computer burning CD's 1 by 1....now the question is, arrange them by BPM or alphabetically ?

andyman Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Alphabetically IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDJbpm Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Is Rapid Evolution a free program, from memory I downloaded but couldn't get the program working? I'm considering purchasing mixed in key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 yeh it was free, and yeh im thinking alphabetically as well as it seemed most that i burnt was about 127-130 anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubby Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 are you going to re-do things everytime you add cd's to get them in alpha order? might work ok now with a small number but later when you have 1000 you'll be searching lots of old stuff to find the few current tracks you are playing.I tend to add new stuff to the back of the folder, and when I play something it goes to the back (ie empty pages) as well. every now and them sort the gaps and pull pages from the front, so the stuff at the back is what I am currnetly playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
