Topic: Automix backing tracks with key change pre-set
Hi there. I'm a singer and use the automix function to run a setlist for me to perform to.

That's all well and good. But I sometimes forget to leap to my laptop to change to key for the couple songs that need adjustment.

Is there a way to add them to the automix list already set down a key (or whichever way) so it requires no more intervention from me other than to press play?

I guess alternatively I can either omit these songs or have someone re-create them at the right pitch, but I wanted to see if VDJ could provide a quick fix.

Don't know if there is more clever way.

One way is to add an action script to the first hotcue of those few tracks, with the POI editor.

Could use either key or key_move or set_key

key would probably be preferred
so to adjust the track's key up 2 semitones, (from the analyzed key)
use a hotcue action of:

key +2



or if you wish the key to set a specific key, use set_key (does not affect the analyzed key)

set_key "Cm"




and have the setting: resetKeyOnLoad Yes

and of course, to have masterTempo Yes ( so Key does not change if BPM is changed by automix)
