The five moves — that's 90% of harmonic mixing
1
Same number 8A → 8A
Perfect blend — the safest mix there is.
2
+1 up the wheel 8A → 9A
Lifts the energy (a perfect fifth). The classic build.
3
−1 down the wheel 8A → 7A
Softens it, drops the energy gently.
4
Same number, swap letter 8A → 8B
Mood flip — minor to major, or back.
5
+2 up the wheel 8A → 10A
A bigger, bolder energy jump for peak time.
Know your tracks' keys, follow the wheel, and it just sounds right.
