How to use a batch key finder

Add the whole batch

Choose or drop several supported audio files. Each track is analyzed in your browser and stays in the list while the queue runs.

Treat the result as a starting point

Automatic key detection estimates the strongest tonal center. Tracks with modulation, little harmony, or prominent effects can produce an uncertain result, so verify important transitions by ear.

Use Camelot to plan the next move

Use the musical, Camelot, and Open Key values to organize a library or shortlist compatible tracks. Open the Camelot wheel when you need to compare nearby harmonic moves.

Key Finder FAQ

How accurate is automatic key detection?

The detector estimates a track’s dominant tonal center and works best when the harmony is clear. Modulation, atonal sections, tuning differences, and effects can lead to a different result. Check important transitions by ear.

Are my audio files uploaded?

No. Files are decoded and analyzed in your browser. The audio and detected results are not sent to SirenMix’s server.

Which audio formats are supported?

The tool accepts MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, OGA, and OPUS files that your browser can decode. If a file cannot be decoded, remove it and try another supported file.

What affects analysis speed, and what if it fails?

Analysis runs on your device and temporarily decodes each track, so CPU performance, available memory, and track length affect the wait. Close memory-heavy tabs or apps and try the latest Chrome; if it still fails, use a computer with more available memory.
