if youre doing it by ear, and are unskilled with piano.. i again suggest the use of something like http://www.looknohands.com/chordhouse/piano/ to help you with starting points to noodle in.

if they clash, then the key is obv wrong and you have two options. Re-key it or "Transpose" (the knob in traktor) to the right key, if you can't hear the clash then again the harmonic mixing goes out the window.

The only difference between doing it that way and just not key tagging your music and thinking/mixing the exact same way is that the tags being their force you to second-guess your ears.

Seriously…turn off the tagging and mix for a while…it'll make you better in the long run.

just found and app on the apple app store , might be good might not thought i would share tho

this app does NOT tell you what key a tune is in automatically, it will NOT scan your iTunes folder and mark up tunes. This app also doesn't play music, you need your own DJ equipment, decks, laptop etc. Much in the same way that a calculator won't do your tax returns for you.

his app WILL help you identify the key of a tune by playing a chord in that key. You have to do the clever bit, listen to the chords, compare and decide on the key yourself. You should have an understanding of key, scales, pitch and tempo before approaching this. Trust me, even if you're tone deaf, you're still infinitely better at identifying a song's key than a computer
