From reading threads here I've learnt that alot of people practice "mixing in key" and many also use software to determine which key a song is in (!?). Why? I really do not get it. First of all, Two songs do not have to be in the same key to work well, in fact, work VERY well together. I mean, for an example, a song in C could blend perfectly with a song in Am, and will be perfectly in tune. It seems like alot of people really limit themselves with thinking "I have to mix. in. key. This tune in D#m will only work with the other songs my software tagged as D#m". And secondly, why spend time and/or money on software when the software out right now Isn't that dependable? You would get a way more accurate answer by just using a piano/keyboard/keyboard-app and finding the right key.
I just don't get why people care. Pre-cuing has a reason, doesn't it? If you can't tell if a song works with another song through pre-cuing, why bother pre-cuing at all?
