    Default Traktor won't show up the Key

    Hey Guys,

    i just looked up the Keys of my Tracks with Keyfinder and put the Keys in the Tags with Beatport Pro. The Problem is that Traktor won't show up the Keys

    Here is Beatport Pro:


    And here is Traktor:



    I even tried to write the Keys in the Comment Tag, but Traktor won't show them too.


    best regards

    Try re-analyzing your tracks, and set it to special and just the BPM or gain or something... I find that if Traktor already has the tags loaded, it doesn't refresh them. I think it might also work to check the consistency of the tracks, but I'm at work right now so can't verify.

    I use MIK to add the BPM and Key info to the beginning of the filename, then use MP3Tag to add that info to the tags. I ONLY add the key info to the "Album" tag, and the BPM info to the "Trak Number" tag.


    Might sound a little odd, but it's always worked perfectly with whatever software I've used.

    I'm a little annoyed that Traktor uses 9m instead of 9a, for example (open notation?). Unless, of course, this is just a setting I have enabled/disabled.

    It's not the same though, 8m=1A for instance. They can't use the camelot wheel since it's licensed by MIK. Why? I have no idea. It's a million year old system that's simply named differently. It's like calling the CDJ a Spinstation and then sueing everybody who uses your layout. Even though you nicked the layout from Pioneer. It's that stupid.

    You don't always need to re-analyse you just need to load a track for Traktor to read the tag.

    You can change how the key is displayed in Preferences > Analyse Options

    So do you ever analyze your tracks in Traktor or just go off the tag info in the browser?

    I'm sure you know this but The Camelot Wheel uses a circle of fifths with 'E major' and numbers instead of keys. Thing is this is enough of a difference for it to be copyrighted. Go figure.

    I NEVER analyse my tracks for key in Traktor. Only MIK, and take the key info from the browser.

    I also add the key info into the deck header (from the Tag) in Traktor.

    I do know about the circle of fifths. And this is what I don't understand. In piano books there are a meriad of versions of it, some with two layers, some with three (to show the diminished scale) and none of them are such greedy assholes as MIK. None of them are copyrighted with special notations.
