Matching keys for Major keys only shows current minor

    It's my understanding that -3 from key wheel and switch to minor also mixes. Why does it not highlight?

    I have no idea what that is supposed to mean. Could you rephrase this please?

    I'm assuming you have some idea, meaning mixing in keys. There is a setting in traktor to highlight matching keys, including adjacent keys. So, 9m can match to 8m, 9d, 10m, plus other keys if the semitone is switched. But, I've seen multiple videos that indicate switching from major 9d can be done by subtracting 3 and going go minor. So, 6m. Example below.

    So, I am pointing out that if Traktor wants to provide different mixing paths via mixing in key, it should include this, as well.

    Awww, bugger, no, my bad :oops:

    I was on my phone earlier and somehow assumed that this was posted in the Maschine forum somehow. And within the context of Maschine your post made no sense. Obviously I was a bit too hasty :rolleyes:

    There are loads of compatible key “match” combinations. They’re not all “compatible” matches. Traktors implementation of key match mixing is pretty rudimental. I suspect their reasoning for this is that users can learn enough to get started in mixing in key, but will soon learn that there’s much more to it than the usual +1, -1, and b/m (A/B Camelot) switch.

    Also, “Compatible” usually just means harmonic. A lot of other key mixing techniques are not harmonic, but will change the energy or feel between tracks. Some quite abrupt energy changes are possible, where the keys being mixed actually DO clash - so you should mix drums over drum to avoid clashes, while maintaining the energy change between the tracks...
