Cue Curve / Cue Point Detection Algorithm
The last version of Mixed In Key, released in January 2015, incorporated a new system that automatically detected and placed cue points for Serato and Traktor users. This new version continues to do that, but has incorporated some new functionality as well:
“The bottom of the audio player shows our new invention, the Cue Curve. If you see a tall peak that looks like Mount Fuji, that means you can drop a perfect cue point there.
Your Cue Points are always snapped to the beat. Mixed In Key will load the official Serato and Traktor beatgrid, and will make sure that your Cue Points line up. You can edit everything yourself, and sync with Serato and Traktor automatically.”
X-Ray Waveforms
The new waveform view in Mixed in Key 8 allows DJs to quickly see the volume of the melody and the transients created by the drumbeat – which makes it easier to find sections of the song to place cue points.
Metabliss ID3 Tag Manager Built In
Mixed In Key has incorporated of their standalone MetaBliss ID3 tag manager app into this new version 8 of the key detection software. It allows DJs to treat their library like an Excel spreadsheet – jumping into individual ID3 fields and cleaning them up.
You can also quickly correct issues like extra spaces, extraneous promo links in the track comments, and change the case automatically to a number of options.

please listen to your songs and decide on your own cue points. I get wanting a snap function so it lands exactly on a down beat. but pre-set cues, man? talk about lazzzy

Price: $29 for current users
@Dan White I was able to get Mixed In Key 8 for free by entering my version 7 license on the site. I think current users don’t have to pay.
Well, at least I wasn’t charged for it.
Correction: This applies to MIK 7 users only. Users of older versions get update for $29 and new users get for full $59.
lol, I got MIK 7 as a free upgrade from 6. Now I have another free upgrade to 8.
Is there a way to zoom in on the waveform so you can be precise with where the cue point is set?
Yes
Track management! Woot woot woot thanks MiK!
Will it write cue points to rekordbox? Does it detect cue points previously created in traktor, serato, and rekordbox?
That would be nice.
Hoping someone who has it can elaborate. If so, Im gonna go buy that ish right now. :-p
No it won’t. They even detail in the app that they petitioned Pioneer and didn’t get anywhere. Rekordbuddy is coming out soon though and that will solve it… if you use a mac. Windows to follow. https://next.audio/tag/rekord-buddy/
I wrote a guide for Windows users to be able to do a transfer using Rekord Buddy 2 and a virtual machine.

You’re welcome.
Thank you. Ill just be sitting and waiting on RekordBuddy for PC
Would we be able to get a key detection software comparison for 2016? Please and thanks.

Hopefully the auto cue points are better. The first downbeat was usually detected well enough, but version 7 often put the rest in places not suited to dance music. (Ie not on the 4/8/16/32/64,etc.)
truth, i usually ended up having to redo them all
