In my opinion this is almost like automation. So next time MIK is opened and by clicking on “add files” it will auto default to the folder you had previously selected and all you have to do is to select all on the finder when it opens and press the Enter button and MIK should process all the files. Don’t drag the songs onto it as usual, but click on “add files” and select a song from the folder “SongsAutomated”. Create a folder to store or hold the songs that have just been downloaded.

So when it comes to figuring out the fastest way to use these two softwares (automation), and as mentioned before as there is no easy way to write script to have them do things, there is still the manual way, but it’s almost as good as scripting in my opinion.

The software actually has more features but those two features are what many people, (DJs included ? ) use it for. The PN software is used so that it auto corrects clipping of sounds on the songs if any, adjust the level so that all songs have the same level, so it save the DJ having to always manipulate the level of the songs every time a song is loaded onto a deck. Like if the song is written in C or F music note, and so on, so that while mixing music, the music key could be used to harmoniously choose songs that play well together musically. For those who don’t know what these two tools are for, MIK is used to find out the key of the song. I was going to write some apple script code to automate the task of processing songs via these two tools, but alas, lo and behold, these two tools have no API (application programming interface). At the time of this writing I have Mixed in Key 7 and Platinum Notes 4. ? Like who wants to keep hearing memory lane songs all the time? So I’m forever curating music then finally download them and process them using some of my favorite song tools not limited to Mixed in Key (MIK) and Platinum Notes (PN).
I DJ regularly (well as a hobby really) and just like any (good?) DJ, we must keep our music list updated. Isn’t this one of the computer’s trait is to automate things? Well not always. Like why would we have to click the same sequence 105 times if we can just tell the computer to do it all by itself.
If you are anything like me, I think repetitive tasks should to be automated.
