It uses Mixed In Key 5's patented algorithm to find 100% compatible tracks that will sound great together.This is our new ultra-fast audio editor for Mac and Windows.Our favorite features:Precise beatmatching for your audio tracksHigh, Mid and Low equalizerAbility to edit volume envelopes quickly and easilyFull integration with Mixed In Key 5 - Mashup will load information from your "Browse Collection" windowIf you are a MIK 5 customer, to download the beta for youself go to: http://mashup.mixedinkey.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russell Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 on a side note... does mixed in key only work for digital files or can you route external audio through it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 no, it only processes wav and mp3, so you would have to record the external source to a wav, then process it through mixed in key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russell Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 no, it only processes wav and mp3, so you would have to record the external source to a wav, then process it through mixed in key.they should add that feature... and give me kudos for the idea.

SolDios Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 no, it only processes wav and mp3, so you would have to record the external source to a wav, then process it through mixed in key.they should add that feature... and give me kudos for the idea.I don't see how that could be done, if it's plugged in via a mic port, how can it analyse a signal it hasn't received yet (to see the waveform before it's played)Also, why would you want to, it would mean you would have to start the external source at the same time to preview your song. It seems very impractical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 He means press play on vinyl, and have the output of the turntable plugged into computer. It listens to input from Tt in real time and determines key. Would be handy for people using vinyls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapFive Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 just buying this now, i am very curious to see what it can do, and hey it has the key finder in it anyways so i think its a good buy IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughn Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 If I had the money I wonder if it would be worth buying both noted and mash up. They shoul do hectic good deals for MIK users because I'm a poor whale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapFive Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 so first looks, its like a basic version of the sequencer in ableton, pretty good buy IMO if you like to just make mixtapes very easy and simple to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapFive Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 here is how the first mix turned out, i havent played with it much, the beatmatching was SLIGHTLY off, i dunno how to change the gridding, or if it is even changeable, ill keep you guys updated but so far so good, dubstep isnt the easiest to mix either but i think it gridded it well enough, very user friendly program so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughn Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Good mix man, not a massive dubstep fan but that was a good mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapFive Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 So after having a good play with this, there are a few things I still think need some improvementPros:- The harmonic percentage thing is great it and works spot on, even with acapellas and instrumentals- nice and simple set out, and it allows you to easily cut songs in and out- solo buttons are cool, and it also has a phaser built in which I think is for DIY acapellas?-exports straight to mp3, AMD allows you to name the project and set tempo easilyCons- missing sooooo many things- no custom beat gridding, but not only that, you can only chop within the set beatgrid... This can get annoying when you need to move stuff around- no effects (deley, filter, echo etc...)- no stretching or effecting bpm, its set at the automatic beatgrid- no fades which means you gotta make an extra track and use a straight volume fade instead of the curve)- its really hard to take part of a song from half way through and put it at the start, it doesn't like you doing this, so I had to cut and paste the song out of the way...Don't get me wrong, it has potential, but for now, its just a toy for learning really....I am going to keep delving in and see if maybe I just don't know how to get some of these features Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
