Product Information

Now that you understand the principles, you also need to know what key signature your songs have. This is where software comes in. Most DJ software nowadays has a key detection algorithm, you can thus use them or use an external application such as “Mixed In Key”. Mixing in key with the Camelot Wheel has several advantages over traditional mixing techniques. Here are some benefits of using the Camelot Wheel for harmonic mixing: DJs can use this table as a tool to sculpt the energy of their DJ set as they progress through the playlist. Why are the Camelot Wheel and Harmonic Mixing Important? # Once you have all your primary colors ready, you can use them to mix secondary colors. Two primary colors combined will create a secondary color. Orange, green, and purple make up the secondary colors. You can follow a color-mixing chart to achieve the exact tone you want, but below is a basic color-mixing guide for achieving the secondary colors. Enhanced DJing skills: Learning how to mix in key with the Camelot Wheel can help DJs develop their skills and become more proficient at beatmatching and mixing. It also allows for more creative possibilities, as DJs can experiment with different harmonies and musical combinations. History and development of the Camelot Wheel

In this guide, you'll learn what the Camelot Wheel is, how to use it, and why it's so important for DJs to understand! TL;DR - The Camelot Wheel # Red is a primary color, so other colors cannot be mixed to create it. You can make red lighter by adding white. While harmonic mixing was traditionally seen as an advanced technique that required music theory knowledge, Camelot values it makes it easy to mix and match songs. Nowadays there are powerful DJ software programs (like DJ.Studio) that use this system to make the process even easier, but I'll talk about that later. How Does the Camelot Wheel Work? #Knowing key signatures is also an interesting aspect. Indeed, key signatures are associated with particular feelings like love, death, melancholy, etc. If a musical composer wants to create a childish song, he would likely write in C Major (8B). A song about death would likely be in Ab Major (4B), melancholy in D minor (7A), etc. At least that’s one of the influencing factors. For a DJ, knowing what kind of mood a key gives can also be interesting to build a story in your sets. For a cool brown, use red and green then make it cooler with blue. It is ideal for things like dark brown hair. Finally, when thinking about mixing colors, remember that some colors are seen as warm and some cool. You can use these sheets for a paint-mixing activity. Ask your class to try and replicate the colors on the color wheel template by mixing different paints together and painting the blank color wheel. The Color Wheel: A simple technique when it comes to harmonic mixing is by simply going from a major key to a minor, or a minor to a major key, whilst staying in the same relative key. For example, if a DJ is mixing in the key of 8B-C major, then he/she can transition to 8A-A minor or vice versa. Just keep the number the same (in this example it is 8) whilst changing the letter (B to A).

In the example above, from a 6B song, the next one can be 6B, 6A, 7B, 5B (T-method), or 8B (energy boost). Notice that you can mix a song in the exact same key (here 6B). That makes sense since they use the exact same notes! Its powerful key detection algorithm shows you how all the songs in your library connect based on their keys. You might end up with one color with more intensity than what you would like. This can be toned down through the addition of certain colors. You could add in some brown, or even a very small amount of the color’s complementary shade. For toning down colors, this technique really works.

You can experiment with not mixing the final color too much. For a more natural painted effect, having a tiny bit of variation in the color is a good thing. This also helps to blend colors together better. Again, experiment with this before finding the right mixing technique. You can add varying amounts of white, or your paint thinner, to get many different tints of the same color! Below we see 50% tints (equal blends of color + white). If you’re looking for resources to compliment your teaching on colour, then you’ve come to the right place. When it comes to learning about basic colour mixing, resources like this one can be “wheely” helpful (...sorry). No, not all pro DJs mix in key. However, it’s a technique that many successful DJs use to create seamless and harmonious mixes. How do you navigate the Camelot Wheel? This Primary Colour Mixing Chart is perfect for your lessons on secondary and tertiary colours. It clearly shows how each secondary and tertiary colour is made up of the primary colours in an easy-to-read format. It also features the names of each colour, helping children to feel more comfortable with the vocabulary of colour. It's perfect for introducing how colour mixing works to children.

From understanding the range of colors that work together for a branding palette, to choosing colors for a bedroom or a painting, it can help. These other transitions are the hardest to pull off and should be avoided in most cases. They are some of the most dissonant connections, although they can work sometimes (just don't use them too often in a set). Mood Shifter Generally, the term ‘mixing in key’ is a slang term for ‘harmonic mixing’. It earned such popularity over the past decades that certain brands have specialized in making special kinds of software that automate the process, so in that regard, Mixing in key also refers to ‘Mixed in Key’ software produced and refined by the brand with the same name. By taking away the hard (and boring) work, DJ.Studio saves a huge amount of time for DJs, letting them get more creative with other areas of DJ mixing. The results of this will be that DJ mixes sound much more professional because they won't have any awkward clashing mixes, and their transitions will sound more coherent and satisfying.DJs who use the Camelot wheel and harmonic mixing techniques in their work will generally create much better mixes. Change the mood, by going from the same note's major to minor key (or reverse). For example, going from C Major to C Minor, or from A Minor to A Major. This also makes it easier if you need to recreate the color when using paints or other physical mediums, because you know what went into it.

Plan your lessons so you create one secondary colour at a time. Your pupils will enjoy mixing them and coming up with different shades. This is one of the most unpleasant key transitions out there and has a very dissonant and clashy feel. This should only be attempted if you know what you are doing, and you have tested that the two songs work "well" together. That said, it can have a cool and mysterious effect if pulled off well. DJ.Studio's Harmonic Automix Tool # No, the terms harmonic mixing and mixing in key refer to the same mixing technique. The phrase alludes to the brand that invented (or was at least partially responsible for the invention of) the Camelot wheel, so in that regard, ‘harmonic mixing’ is the original term while “mixing in key” is a slang term used to describe the same DJ technique.

When you identify the key of a song, you can easily work out which other keys would make a good match using the Wheel - it helps you find two keys that work together. Create and automate seamless transitions using a range of techniques, like EQ, filters, reverbs, echoes, a humble crossfade, cuts, or more. (You can also combine these in any way you like). There are three main ways to combine colors using a color wheel: complementary, analogous, and triadic. This is the basic 12 color wheel showing all the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors.
