So what is Mixing in Key or Harmonic mixing?
Well this is a technique used by DJs to smoothly transition between songs that have complimentary keys with each other.
And what this enables, is a harmonically pleasing mix of music.
So now that you know the value of mixing in key, let’s skip years of learning music theory, and go straight to utilizing the tool that most DJs use, to harmonically match their tracks together instantly on the fly.
And that’s the Camelot wheel!
So the Camelot Wheel is a translated system, scaled 1 through 12; where the ‘A’ symbols are listed as the minor keys, and the ‘B’ symbols are listed as the major keys.
Now, this image may look pretty complicated, but it’s really quite simple. And if there’s anything I want you to take away from this video it’s this:
If you want to mix in key, just imagine a T sign.
So for example, if your current song is 2A. You can mix a track that has a key of 2A, 3A, 1A and 2B.
Now before we break down that method of mixing in key, you guys may be wondering, how do you display your keys in your dj software thru the camelot key system.
Because your keys may look like this or *this*?
So on Rekordbox DJ, First go to settings, then click view, then scroll down, and at Key Display Format, click Alphanumeric.
And on Serato DJ Pro, go to Library + Display, then at the Show Key As section, select Camelot.
And with that done, let’s move on to understanding the 3 general rules of mixing in key,
So Rule Number 1 is to mix tracks of the same key. For example 2A to 2A, or 7A to 7A.
Rule Number 2 is to mix tracks of the same number. For example 2A to 2B, or 7B to 7A
Rule Number 3. Mix tracks one number up or one number down. For example 2A to 3A, or 2A to 1A
But what happens if the track you want to mix next isn’t in key with the track you’re currently playing?
Is there anything you can do to get these tracks to harmonically mix with each other? Yes!
And that’s thru the feature called Key Sync which is available on Rekordbox DJ and Serato.
So as the name implies, Key Sync, syncs the key of your track with the other track.

Use +1 on the scale. It sounds better than -1. Also when jumping from B to A, add or subtract 3 (5B to 8A or 4A to 1B). And most important: if you really want to play a track that you like, forget about the key. Just play it. Knowing when to break the rules is essential.
Oh that's a great tip! Thanks for letting us all know!
Yeah I think that the key sync apart from what he already said of don't do high jumps and don't do it with voices (or try to avoid at least) you need to know when the audience is going to know the song because if you change the key of a very famous song it can sound weird and people will definitely notice something is off
Very very informative post, beautifully highlighted.
So If I want to subtract 3 from 1B it would be 10A?
Correct
Thanks for yet another great tutorial! I'm 60 years old and just started to mixing mostly House music and very much appreciate this as a hobby. Thanks a lot for your time and knowledge!
Glad to have been of help bud! Age is but a number when the groove is in your heart!
For the new guys out there:
I’ve listened to a handful of big name DJ’s who perform on the main stage or tour clubs across the US that don’t ALWAYS mix in key. While this is a very good guideline, don’t think two songs don’t mesh/transition well, just because they’re not in the same key or surrounding key. Trust your ears, if you think it sounds good, then that’s all that matters!
That's true! Thanks for sharing your thoughts buddy! Just do you!
The key is to read the crowd 😁
@@EJAY-THE-DEEJAY I’m new to djing , wdym by mixing in key is to read the crowd
@@riyadjohn4315 he means by “reading the crowd” that how the crowd is vibing on the tunes you’re playing. like if the crowd is a little quiet then u could try to do something new to see if the crowd gets more exciting
That's a giving. I started DJing on vinyl and we were more worried about catching a beat.
Also, keys can determine energy and tempo. A lot of people think it's just BPMs that control energy and tempo, however, cleverly increasing keys can also increase energy and tempo. 3's are your friend here. For example, if you're playing a 2A song (add 3) and you can mix in a 5A song to increase energy. View the numbers as a up and down, 1 - 7 up, 8 - 9 maintains, 10 - 12 lowers. Keys 10 to 12 are generally really deep, thus lowering in energy, so if you're playing a 11A track (add 3) and mix in a 2A, or, you can subtract 3 from the 11A and mix in a 8A, it also works. I think by now you get the drift. But don't use this as a be all end all, sometimes tracks with mismatching keys can go well, especially if mixed properly. However, it's a good way to set up the energy spikes of your set.
Well put GPS! What you just said is also very highly applicable to sets when trying to kick up the audience's energy!
changing the key of a song can also make it sound like trash too
Thank You for being an amazing mentor to all aspiring DJs
Yay! All for the community!
I already knew about mixing in key, but reminding it with this tutorial helps too!!! Thank you Carlo!!!
Oh nice! Thanks for watching this refresher course!
I’m just a bedroom “DJ” however I’ve learned a ton from your videos! I feel my wife and kids are enjoying my mixing time a lot more lately 🍀
That is awesome! I'm happy for you man!
Literally took the words out of my mouth, see you on the club circuit soon ✌😎
Every tutorial is so detailed... DJ Carlo doesn't only explain the theory of mixing, he executes them practically in such a way that seems so simple and easy even though the task might be quite challenging.
❣️❤️❤️❣️
I appreciate that! Hope it is helping a lot of people out there!
Ok well maybe it's not that important
@@michaelcoleman8203 Well... you tell me bro
Great tips shared by you in all your videos. Really helping me a lot in my journey to be a professional dj.
Keep loading more cool stuff !!
Wow, just wow. I've been doing this for 25years and never learned or understood there was a mathematical approach to determine up front whether two songs would match harmonically. I just matched the 4/4 time signature and stretched the track length and blending time before midnight to climax at midnight with short blending time and track length, to go stretched again afterhour. And exactly as you said in the video, a DJ will not compromise the track selection if he has a packed dance floor and extended versions of tracks, he keeps the blending short, clean and accurate. I think this stuff comes in useful playing afterhour where people are likely to give up dancing or decide to leave once they noticed the harmonical disturbance. Thank you and keep up the good work Carlo, you will be known by the number of leaders you create, not by the number of followers.
This video helps me understand more about mix in keys! Thank you so much Dj Carlos!!!
That was the best explanation I’ve watched about mix in key, especially liked the ‘T’ analogy. Thanks ☘️
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed that T
Thank you so much that made it so much easier to blend music! The t example was perdect
Thanks for the tips. I've been a DJ since the mid 80's when DJs didn't know what keys were. But I've noticed a big difference when mixing in key. I'm even a better DJ now 💪
Right?! The right key makes such a big difference!
Loved how you described mixing in key in the most simple way. Definitely going to practice more mixing in 🔑
Thanks buddy! Mixing in key is easy!
those 3 rules were very well thought bro..gives us a real nice way to memorize the keys that match with each other!
Thanks for the tips!
Glad you liked it! My pleasure!
Just learned something very useful again thank you man.
We'd like to take the time to thank and congratulate you for the work that you do. It's very clear, concise and good vibe. Wishing you the best in your journey, and thanks for being part of ours. Take care
Thank you as well y'all! Really appreciate it when people comment on the content. Cheers to your music and adventures! :)
Thank you so much, i finally know all there is to djing because of you keep up the great work.
Happy to hear that!
Thanks so much! Definitely another thing to look into while djing.
Happy to help!
Bro, you are the best mentor here. I'm not new to DJing, but for everything that I'm not sure about, you have the answer. Thanks, bro
I try to be as helpful as possible! 🥳
Good info for young DJs!! Keep spreading the good knowledge 💪🏿💪🏿💯
Glad you appreciate this work! Thanks!
Just in time! I was waiting for a video about key. Nice One! :) 🍀
Thanks for watching till the end! Good luck with your dj journey!
Wow, thanks for The great vid!!
Dude thank you. This was exactly the condensed info I was needing injected into my brain.
Gotchu Neil! Glad you found the video educational! :D
Subscribed and thank you. I am now just learning how to dj and your videos are helping me!
Woot! Woot! Thanks for the sub! I really appreciate it! Wish you all the best!
The key match feature is also available in VitualDJ, although I keep the feature turned off and have not used it, choosing to use other methods to accomplish perfectly melodic mixes and transitions. I enjoy your tutorials and have learned much from your instruction and thank you for the effort you put into them. I have used VirtualDJ Pro since August/Sept of 2004, and extensively test drove both Serato and Ableton but have stayed with VDJ, which I am familiar and masterful with after such a long daily relationship with the application, I have found that VirtualDJ is virtually, pun intended, never mentioned in tutorial videos/documents, and is ignored "in the wild". I find myself completely amazed by this because I find VDJ not only has all the features of Serrato, Ableton and all other pro applications, but actually is well ahead of the others in features, controller compatibility, UI, price, and all other vitally required element. Having used the software extensively and for what is approaching two full decades, I have seen VDJ continually improve and evolve with each new release. I am mystified by the lack of respect this software receives. I'm not complaining as I have no financial interest in VDJs reputation, I simply am curious. Keep these excellent videos coming my friend!
Thank you for another great tutorial Carlo. I’m a open format DJ, so mixing in key is always ideal for me. Appreciate all of your content.#Salute
Great to hear! Glad you mix in key as much as you can. Keep it up!
Top 40 Crowd: "Only thing they care about is track selection and getting laid!" That line had me LMAO! 🤣 Love the honesty!
I thought it's getting laid then I said nah he probably meant "getting lit"
hahaha!
i had to listen again to make thats what i heard

You're welcome buddy! Glad to help always!
Easiest thumbs up I ever gave. That was so comprehensive andhelpful!
Thank you so much! I feel like Mixing in key doesn't get the love it deserves
@@djcarlo I learned music growing up as in played piano and learned ear training and theory (though don't ask me anything about that I can't remember much lol). I just played on a friend's Mixstream pro recently, first time DJ-ing, I love it, I bought a FLX4 that's on its way and have binge watched your content, taken notes, it makes sense. I don't get why they chose A for minor and B for major though, I wonder what the reasons and why not A for Major (as there is an A in there)
@@djcarlo I actually asked my friend what the key thing was, but he didn't want to bombard me with info so he said it helps to reference and blend music but didn't go further than that so now I know the theory
THANK YOU, A BIG HUG FROM ITALY💪🤟❤
You're welcome! Did you already mix in key before?
@@djcarlo Yes
What's up Carlo? I know we've chatted now and then, and you've given me tons of information. Just wanted to update you. Was able to play in a prominent club pre pandemic. Using all the techniques, tips and skills that you have shown, I was able to keep the club rocking. So know that many of us are listening and applying what you are teaching. Peace from an American in Germany.
Wowww that's so great to hear! Thank you! This is what I envisioned for the community!
Thanks for the detailed tutorials :) 🍀
Youre very welcome Cat! Thanks for watching till the very end too!

Wow! Lol.. great video man, definitely something I never do, & would love to learn more of, but im using vinyl, & turntables, so im wondering if you have any videos around that angle possibly? If not, im still taking something away from this anyways homeslice. Thanx a bunch.... 🔥💯👍💪🙏🎶🌎
You are the realest for this one 🐐
It's the most underrated technique in DJing!
yeah mate, that's trueeee I was just mixing like this 💪🔝♥️😊 Thanks for sharing !
My pleasure!! Thanks for dropping by!
I'm a beginner dj and also likes to mix in key. The "T" example is a great way to remember how to mix in key. Fantastic reminder on how to use the Camelot Wheel. I loved the tutorial.
Thanks Gerald! Have to admit, I wish I knew about mixing in key earlier on in my career
Just wanted to thank you for all the tutorials 🍀
Thanks for watching till the end! Happy to make.em!
2 More Tips:
1. If the song has a specific point there no sound plays, that is a good place to SHIFT keys abruptly, as long as the quality is kept.
2. In reference to keys in letter format (A, Gm, C#, etc.), try blending songs that are in thirds or fifths (i.e. from A to G).
you're honestly making me a better drum and bass dj one step at a time. Love your work man
How’s that coming? Would love to exchange songs, dnb is risingggg
@@samuellbrowning big time haha. Finally! I have like 500 songs over the past 2 years and still buying them when I can 😅
Another great DJ video. Cheers 🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it! More to come!
I'm an arabic dj i djing since i was 17 and now i have my channel on RUclips but ur channel teaching me something new every single video.. i know about mixing with key but i usually use the traditional way with note key but i will try to mix with camelote now .. i thinks its more easier 🙌🏻🔥 keep up the hard work bro 🤍
Thanks dude! Glad you're willing to learn something new everyday!
Extremely helpful, thank you!
You're welcome! More tutorials to come!
Hello DJ Carlo.
Luv your vids and always find it very helpful.
I totally agree of, sparring use the Key Sync, part. I have tried it and yes, it makes songs with vocals feel super off. :p
Always best to keep the keys in sync, especially if you want the vocals and instrumentals to play well with each other!
always helping and really trying to teach people something he is the great man :)
Yay! Thanks for the kind words!
Muchas gracias, esto me ayuda mucho.
Amazing practice get better djing like you
I no longer DJ, but I remember using this product when it first came out. Not many people knew about it, especially black DJs working in the inner city spinning hip hop.
Very helpful video , thank you 😊
You're very welcome! I guarantee you, you'll have a hard time not mixing in key once you start haha
THANK YOUU !!!!! sa mga tips ♥️♥️♥️❗
You’re welcome! Thanks for being here too!
Great Explanation! I am a musician and totally understand key, but didn't really understand camelot, WOW this just opened a whole new world of dj'ing for me! 🍀🍀🍀
Glad I was able to help you on this! Good luck!
I tried mixing in key, one of the first things i was tought , but i find finding 'gaps' in tracks to mix the other track in just as important, and/ or 'powermixing '. (which I'm terrible in 😂) but you are right! Mixing In key makes 2 tracks playing for a longer time together much more interesting
. + Indeed: track selection! Amen brother!
Amen; thanks for making it that far! Appreciate the support and good luck on your journey!
Fantastic as always 🎼🎼🎧
Thanks for the continuous support!
Love the way you break it down bud
I try my best for all of them Alan!
Thanks 🙏 for your help Bro 😎

🍀 Im new to this whole thing and this has just brought a whole new prespective!!! Also, its made me research camelot key in relation to circle of fifths... loving the tips... would like to see some drum and bass mixing though 💚
