Auto-Key | Music key detection

The app works pretty well and usually gets the key right. But I noticed when I was testing it that it doesn’t seem to be able to recognize modes other than major and natural minor. It will give you a key that has the same number of flats or sharps, but with the wrong starting note. For example, I tested it with a song in Bb Dorian, and it told me that it was Ab Major. Other than that, it works just fine.

I love this app, the idea of an auto-key finding app, and how you can integrate it with Auto-Tune. But, it isn’t always right. I played it over a track I made (B♭M/Gm) and it recognized it as E♭M/Cm. I started over at least 10 different times, and only one of those times it was correct. Makes me wonder how accurate it is on tracks that I didn’t make, or tracks that I’m mixing for somebody. The first chord is literally B♭ Major, and there is no A♭ in the song whatsoever. So I’m not sure how it got it wrong. I know this is a new app, I’m sure this may be fixed soon.

I use Auto-Tune mobile to make music but an updated version of garageband causes the auto tune to be pitched up roughly 50 cents and is unbearable. I have to use an old ipad to create music at this point. It was worth the money and the best Auto-Tune app i have ever installed but i am quite dissatisfied with this mishap and hope it will be fixed soon. Thank you so much!! 😄
