Key Analysis in Rekordbox
So I've noticed that the key analysis in Rekordbox is not aligned to the Camelot wheel and wondered why this is? I'm finding it problematic if I want to purchase songs in a specific key.
For example, I bought several songs from Beatport which should have certain keys assigned to it when analysed, but for the most part this has not been the case. Instead this occurred:
Beatport Key Camelot Key Rekordbox Key Song
A Major 11B 10A Good Life- Inner City)
A Major 11B 7A Episode 4-Quentin Harris
E Minor 9A 9A Love's Got Me High*
Eb Minor 2A 1B Fantazy-Sasse
Eb Minor 2A 2A Too Much Information**
G Major 9B 6A Dixtrit - Bassfort***
(Note that some keys were checked in Traxsource)
* By Terence Parker (Marc Romboys Systematic Soul Mix)
** By Dele Sosimi Afrobeat Orchestra (Laolu Remix)
*** Jimpster Remix
Can anyone advise on this please?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Farrah,
Sometimes the track analysis of Rekordbox is different than that of other programs. Serato and Traktor suffer from this as well.
Even the best software, Mixed in Key doesn't have a 100% accuracy.
There are a few options.
1 if the file already has a key filled in before importing into Rekordbox, go to preferences in Rekordbox and under analysis untick Key in Track analysis setting. It will not analyze the key.
2 Manually alter the key from track info.
