Here’s the third video in Andy Touchfingers’ Mixed in Key video tutorial series for djs. Andy demonstrates in this video how to listen to tracks for differen sections, many of which have different keys (much like an entirely different song within the main song). He also continues to show us how to match keys of tracks using software.

“Some kinds of music are very logged in to  one tonal center” explains Andy. Many different genres have different song structures, and some have more movement in tone. He also tells us how music with a lot of effects and strange noise are difficult to key, simply because of the strange nature of the sounds!

Andy also explains how the Circle of Fifths works, which is very valuable to know in order to understand how different keys go with each other.

Summary

This 2nd video in our 5 part djing tutorial video series is an overview of what keyed mixing is and how you can begin starting to create sets that are mixed in key.

Andy goes over why keyed mixing sounds good, why it is important, the different keys and structures of songs that make them easier or harder to mix together in a musically sound, keyed dj blend. Different genres and different tracks mixed together will compliment each other more when mixed in key. When you match the tonal centers of two tracks, their individual parts may combine within a mix to create more energy and a greater listening experience: the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Once again, thanks so much on such a great site & keep up the great work.”

Connecting Extra DJ Devices and Peripherals to Your Mixer

Here’s an overview of the best methods for connecting other devices to your mixer, including recording devices, laptops, and more.

Source: idjondemand

---

Other components that get connected to the mixer are CD players, mini disc players, MP3 players, digital 8 tracks (like my Roland VS 880) and PCs if you’re daring.

This set up runs along the same vein as connecting your turntables however, instead of connecting these components to the PHONO INPUT they get connected to the LINE INPUT.

Use the LINE/PHONO button or switch on your mixer to access either the CD player that is connected to the LINE INPUT or the turntable that is connected to the PHONO INPUT. You can have a CD player playing on CH1 making sure you have the LINE INPUT selected and mix it with a turntable on CH2 making sure you have the PHONO INPUT selected. However, you can’t access both components at the same time on the same channel.

DJ Tutorial Tip: Remember connect like colors from your RCA leads to the color connections to the mixer.
