Again, instead of tracking i m browsing too much so i discovered THIS post. it might be useful.. and it might be not. surely it s interesting.

Taken from here http://www.mixedinkey.com/HowTo.aspx :

Bottom line, harmonic mixing eliminates key clashes.  When you mix harmonically, your vocals, melodies and basslines will all be in key (harmony).

They basically offer a commercial product to detect harmonics and sell them, but it was ebough to let me browse Wikipedia..

And decide that i dont give a fuck :-) If you do feel free to

read the following and/or go to the above mentioned site. If you have the product, tell me i am curious :))

this wheel, musical keys can be seen as hours on a clock. For example, 4 o’clock corresponds to 4A or 4B. The A letter represents Minor keys. The B letter represents Major keys.

To use harmonic mixing in your DJ sets, subtract one hour, add one hour, or stay in the same hour as your last song.

If you’re in key of 4A, your next song can be 3A, 4A or 5A.

You are simply subtracting or adding one hour.

By using this method, your mixes will be harmonic. Because it is based on music theory, harmonic mixing works for all music genres.

Create Interesting Mixes

Get creative! You’re in control. Using the Camelot method, you can move around the Camelot wheel one step at a time. With every mix, you can change keys.

For a special effect, mix between the inner and the outer circle. Try this: Stay in the same hour, but change the letter. For example, you can mix from 10B to 10A. If you are in 10A, your next song can be 10B (change letter), 9A (subtract one hour), 10A (same hour), or 11A (add one hour).

Example Mix

For your first harmonic mix, find two songs that have the same key code. Mix them together using your favorite DJ equipment or software, and you’ll hear a smooth transition every time. From there, you can experiment with other harmonic mixes.

Our Approach to Harmonic Mixing

We recommend going clock-wise or counter-clockwise around the wheel, changing key every couple of songs. For example, we may play: 10A > 10A > 10B > 9B > 8B > 8A > 7A > 6A for a 100% harmonic DJ set. It never gets boring because there is a music progression happening during the entire mix. Your audience will love it as well. This is the method used by top Mixed In Key DJs such as Pete Tong, Deep Dish and thousands of others.
