Among its friends its considered in relation. It's the same physical frequency but it means different things in context of a key. So while B major has an A sharp in it (among others), F major has a B flat. counterclockwise from C maj the first one in the cycle is G with one sharpened note being the last one in the scale like - g,a,b,c,d,e,f# cycle of fifths! Because you sharpen clockwise, the 7th note of the new key. Wars have been started on this forum over less I barely know any theory, but I think the rule may be the. ImNotDedYet wrote:G minor has b flat and e flat while d minor has only b flat.įor practical purposes B flat here is the same as A sharp (A#) and e flat is the same as D sharp (D#)? I know there is some rule for what to use in what context, but I opted for sharps years back when I was key analyzing relevant parts of my song collection. You probably drastically underestimate how good your ears are, so trust them.
#MIXED IN KEY CIRCLE OF FIFTHS SOFTWARE#
So reliance on this software is helpful, but don't always trust it 100%. I also believe the top one was only like 80% correct for songs with the actual musical key known. DJ Tech Tools ran a comparison of the major tools and I think Mixed In Key was one of the top ones. If not, that could be another reason for the confusion on Mixed In Key's part.įinally, there isn't any musical key prediction software out there that is perfect. I'm also assuming you're starting with the root chord (D minor) as that's oftentimes a telltale sign of which key you're in since multiple musical keys have the same key signatures. (assuming you're not using the harmonic minor scale, etc.) So, if there aren't a lot of e notes in your music, odds are a key detection software could get confused. So the two key scales share 7 of the same notes with the only difference being e flat/natural. G minor has b flat and e flat while d minor has only b flat. Point 1 is the most bothering because If i write a song in one scale and tune my drums to that scale and it's being analysed as a other scale i'm worried things wont be in tune? Is it because if say I only used 4 notes in 1 scale those same 4 notes could be shared in another scale and Mixed in Key can't determine between them? (I've made sure the synths are in tune so I know it's not that) Then sometime when I consolidate the synth line and drag to mixed in key it will say it's in a different key. Another example would be I write a synth line in D minor (using Scale midi effect) routed to my various external synths.
Then I test analyse the song in Mixed in Key and it comes up as G minor. I write my song everything sounds ok and sounds in tune (but I know I don't have amazing ears). I'm not using external synths (mostly FM synths) via midi. I use Live's Scale midi effect to ensure the only notes I play are in the D minor scale. Lately i've found something very strange.ġ.
