hahahahah. Yeah, there will be plenty of beer and BBQ.
deathyParticipantAH, heh. Sorry.
Melodyne is freaking BRILLIANT SAUCE with an extra serving of AMAZING.
It analyzes loops, or even entire songs, and pulls apart the notes, detects the keys, lets you rip out, for example, just the vocal bits, you can change the key of loops completely, from major to minor, shift it around, add additional notes using the actual sounds that the original artist was playing (their real voice or guitar strum), etc., etc., etc.
It is SUPER COOL.
It also does key detection, and I am inclined to think it would be the most accurate at guessing keys, but I haven’t done a comparison myself.
It is worth pointing out that it is brilliant, but very complicated and a lot of work to use – it’s not a silver bullet. However, it is real nice when you are producing with loops and you have a loop you want to use that’s in the wrong key. However, it loses effectiveness for dense songs – it detects pitch ranges, NOT instruments, so if multiple instruments are playing the same note (say, A4), then it can’t rip them apart.
deathyParticipantThe Bedford Beats.
deathyParticipantThere’s also plenty of free software available that you can build beats in if you are so inclined.
deathyParticipantConsiderably above Traktor’s, yeah… the only thing OTHER than MIK that scored better was for the iPad, so for now, KeyFinder will be more than sufficient.
I wonder how Melodyne compares?
deathyParticipantMaybe he’s really the infamous Funky Panda!
deathyParticipantYeah, it’s on my short list of investments… controller first.
deathyParticipantGREAT article, thanks!
deathyParticipantThe Berne Convention is the international copyright law, and the US is a signatory and its copyright laws are within the Berne Convention. However, this is only a rather broad definition… it defines more the minimums than anything else. Fair Use is not a requirement under the convention, and it defines the MINIMUM length of a copyright.
Unfortunately, what this means for you is that every country’s approach to the legality of sampling/remixing, i.e. whether or not it is considered Fair Use, is their own call to make. You will need to find out the legality in your own jurisdiction.
However, it is important to note that theoretically (though generally not in practice), this could result in you not being able to play in the US or post your songs on an American website such as SoundCloud or YouTube.
The US has increasingly been using its political muscle to become the world’s COPYRIGHT police as well.
deathyParticipantIn fact, in the US, if it is not explicitly open license in some way or another, then it is implicitly copyrighted by law, and fair use (which is what used to allow for covers and sampling) has been almost completely eliminated from copyright law in the US.
deathyParticipantCVGM or Nectarine, both demoscene stations.

deathyParticipantOh, say… is the MTP2 powered by USB or external supply?
deathyParticipantAh, excellent, thanks! You are a font of useful tips for the new DJ!
deathyParticipantGah… you guys have me convinced to eat mostly Ramen this month and get an MPT2 instead of the Herc.
