(I remember doing so with a piano keyboard and some rudimentary chord knowledge, gained from my training as a guitarist.) The arrival of key detection softwareĮven as recently as a few years ago, DJ software didn’t even have key detection built into it. DJs wanting to mix in key “back in the day” had to do this, too.
