Ableton Forum

Pehaps this has been posted before but when I search for "Key" I just get a lot of serial number/registration issues. Does Ableton have a key detection feature? It would be nice if Ableton could detect the key and keycode a song-- Mixmeister Pro does this and I find it a wonderful feature for DJ's.

I am REALLY bad at hearing tones, I often rely
on tuners. There are some avalible as vsts, but
sure would be a nice have as a factory plug from
ableton.

Although I'm not sure how well this will work on complete
tracks in a dj session.

Seconded.

bump...
does anyone know of a VST or AU or plugin that does this on a mac?

Mixed in key is an amazing tool for this

I agree – lots of plug-ins do this but would be a step up to have it integrated into Live. Would make sense alongside warping, too.

btw – I'm pretty happy with the way Ableton has been focused recently on making Live a more solid program instead of adding tonnes of new features. It's getting closer to other mature programs like Logic and Cubase that are really solid. The timing is good IMO – keep working at making it rock-solid, and once that's done you can switch back to great leaps forward.

Just a basic key for samples rather than whole tracks would be useful - like the one found in audio finder. I know you can open spectrum and view there as well as use your ears but just a suggestion.
