analysing key PROBLEMS
90% of my tracks are analysed in the camelot style (12A, 4B, 1A) and then i get the rest in the original style (Dm Abm Bm) how do i make them all camelot style
I have uploaded an image if you see the 2 bottom tracks any help would be appreciated

The rekordbox doesn't write camelot keys when analysing the tracks - it only writes the musical notation.
If you want all the tracks in the camelot, sort the tracks using the key column, select all the tracks having the same key and mass rewrite the key for all of them to the camelot.
Sounds complicated but its about 12 keys and such change takes about 5 minutes :-)
Alternatively you can use a software like MiK which writes camelot and to the analysis there and uncheck the key analysis in Rekordbox so its not overwritten...
Btw on the screenshot you have no camelot at all - keys like 12m or 12d are in the Open Key notation...
i know what has happened
them key tags have came for the traktor and already been written in the key tag
i thought rekordbox wrote them
my mistake and thanks for the help mate
Anytime ;-)
that wasn't bad at all
it only took 20mins for 600 tracks
but the keys don't match up with the mixed in key tags
who do you think is the most accurate
@ Lee : Try this rekordbox to camelot conversion.In rekordbox for ex u select all the tracks with "A" keys and in the info tab u can change it to "11B" and so on.It's quite fast this way. Me in traktor I select the tracks by key text.Sorry for my english.
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
that is what i used i found your post off an old question
and thanks it was very helpful
Given the fact the key analysis is a built in functionality, it gives pretty accurate results (I remember there was some comparison where the RB scored about 70% where MiK was about 80%). None of the apps will ever give you 100% correct results so if you are not completely deaf and can hear if the tracks do match or not, I'd stick with the RB (unless you have spare 60$ you can't spend better) because as said - every app makes mistakes and the only question is how many of them...
thanks a lot you have been very helpful today mate
