Does anybody now if it's possible to have VDJ show special color icons for songs that are good candidates for harmonic mixing, just like the color icons for BPM match +/-20% and color icons for songs already played this session
Since the key detection is already there, and the music theory behind it is fairly simple (like using the Camelot wheel), it feels like the option would probably already be in VDJ somewhere, but I can't find it
Any suggestions (beside using the Camelot wheel or another tool manually, of course)
I'm problably lazy but I kind of like the little color icon hints (especially the red ones are great at my age where I can't remember further back than the last few songs :-)
Best regards

There is no icon for this, but there is a filter folder named Compatible Songs which shows the songs that are within key and BPM range.

there is also a field on the browser called "key diff" that has the numeric value of how far a track is from being compatible. someone from atomix might need to confirm but i think it works like
keydiff
0 - perfect mix - complimentary key up and down, same key
1 - energy boost/drop - one semitone higher/lower
2 - forget about it, will clash

And that also works fine

When I use harmonic mixing I simply have the Camelot Key column visible and just sort by that column.
