Harmonic mixing, or mixing in key, is a crucial skill for DJing nowadays, ushered in on the back of digital music technologies (especially pitch preservation at varying tempo, and the ability for software to pretty accurately guess the key of any piece of music).

  • Jun 26, 2014  How to Best Use Harmonic Mixing in Traktor. There are only 2 things really to keep in mind when using Traktor’s harmonic mixing tools: a minor track (m) can be mixed with a major track (d) so long as the numerical value is the same – This will change the mood, from melancholy to happy, or vice versa if you go the other way.
  • Jul 01, 2019  There’s a new version of Traktor Pro 3.2 that’s just been released this morning by Native Instruments. The update is focused primarily on adding features that improve harmonic mixing / key matching functionalities. The new features that help this include a new time-stretching algorithm, a new Key Lock and matching widget, and a new deck.

These harmonic mixing tweaks are handy, but Chris is a seasoned pro and you can see he’s not that excited by this. It’s a good update and I hope / pray NI keeps this release rate up. But I suspect he has a promotional contract with NI that requires / rewards him for this.

Originally the preserve of Mixed In Key, which can analyse your tracks and add the key data to them, it is now available “in house” in all major DJ software, including Traktor.

So assuming you’re a Traktor user, should you use Mixed in Key, or Traktor’s built-in key detection? While Mixed In Key offers the most features for power users, it’s quite possible that what’s built in will work perfectly well for you. This video will help you decide.

(On a side note, this is the first Traktor tutorial we’ve seen from Native Instruments for quite a while, as we’re hoping it bodes well for some increased love for the platform in the coming weeks and months.)

Traktor received a shot in the arm this past year thanks to excellent new hardware releases in the form of the Traktor Kontrol S4 Mk3 and Traktor Kontrol S2 Mk3. The app itself has also received some TLC from NI: recent updates have given the long-running app a cleaner UI, new Mixer FX, and even stacked waveforms. This new update aims to make key mixing more accessible, and the features will be a welcome addition to Traktor Pro 3.
