Can I search for songs by what key they are in? i.e A, B D#

Hi,
You can do that with a filter-folder. see here

Best regards,

Left click on BPM if that's how you want to do the search,if you want to do it by key or numeric key,right click on one of your columns (BPM,Artist ect) and add the new column by which you want to do the search.

Good luck!
 
Thanks guys!
 
Or just look in your browser for a folder named "Compatible Songs" or something to that effect. All the tracks in the folder will match the bpm and key........

Good Luck
Huey
 
Thanks Huey!
I have never noticed that folder "compatible songs" I like that
 
Neither did I,when I got home I tried to open it and there's nothing in it. Is there something wrong with my settings or do I need to do some tweaking?
 
Load a track and then the tracks will show up in there, lol. They should be the best ones to mix with the playing track. It's not perfect but it'll get you pretty close. I've even found tracks that I never thought mixing together.

Holla back

LOL! I figured it out a few minutes after I posted the comment. This is exactly what I was looking for in VDJ without having to pay for a new software. Thanks a lot Huey,the help is much appreciated as alwasys!!
 
Huey
I am grateful too but.....

When it gives me suggestion the keys are all over the place. I wonder how it knows which songs to pick?
 
if you right click the filter, and choose "change filter" it says

bpmdiff<=4 and keydiff=0

so it means tracks within 4 bpm of the playing track so a range of 8 bpm in total, where it says "keydiff=0" that actually means one camalot higher, lower and the same

you can make your own filters with info from this page http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/FilterExamples.html

my personal favorite is for finding quality tracks fast when needed is

rating>=4 and bpmdiff<=5 and keydiff=0

its the same but excludes anything with 3 stars or less
