Questions
What to know first
Can one song have several keys?
Yes. Modulation and ambiguous harmony can produce multiple plausible results.
What is a Camelot code?
It is a DJ-friendly notation that groups musical keys for harmonic mixing.
Is the result a substitute for musical verification?
No. Confirm important decisions by ear, instrument, or trusted production software.
