Key Analysis

The key is not consistent with how it displays in the browser and i can't find a setting to alter this.  Some tracks display the musical annotation while others display the number format. 

Why?

In Traktor I could choose which way I wanted it displayed which is the musical notation since I am accustomed to music theory.

We have forwarded requests for open key notation and camelot key inclusion to the product planning team.  Thank you for your input.

I would second to please incorporate camelot key notation.  It really speeds up my work flow.  Currently analyzing with mixedinkey and then importing to rekordbox so the tags show the correct key.

I've found when there are issues with keys having been analyzed by different programs, sometimes they do show Camelot notation, while other tracks show the musical key. On the Mac side, I've found a way to "fix" this. I use YATE to empty the key field out (you can do this to the whole library in one easy step). Then I run everything through MixedinKey and everything then shows up on RB as Camelot.

@Chris Martin: Chris I'm using rekordbox to change rekordbox key to camelot key and is very fast.What I'm doing is sort my collection by key and for ex I'm chooseing all the "A" key and edit the tag in the rekordbox info tag to "11B" and so on. Check my rekordbox to camelot key list. I hope this is an quick solution for your work flow ;)

A = 11B

Ab = 4B

Am = 8A

B = 1B

Bb = 6B

Bbm = 3A

Bm = 10A

C = 8B                                   

Dbm = C#m = 12A                                     

Cm = 5A                                    

D = 10B

Db = 3B

Dm = 7A

E = 12B

Eb = 5B

Ebm = 2A

Em = 9A

F = 7B

F#m = Gbm = 11A

Fm = 4A

G = 9B

Abm = G#m = 1A

F# = Gb = 2B

Gm = 6A

I've only analyzed with rekordbox (no MixedinKey or anything else) and there is no rhyme or reason what makes it display camelot or musical in the "key" column in the browser.  It's most important that it displays consistently.

@Kevin > Some tracks, depending on where you get them, come with the Camelot key already encoded in the track's metadata.
