Finish the vocal after BPM & Key Finder

Use the free tool for prep, then load a vocal preset chain in your DAW to turn the take into a finished mix faster.

Key Finder Workflow

Find song key, BPM, and Camelot code before tuning vocals or flipping samples.

Use this as a key finder, BPM finder, song key detector, and tempo detector for beats, loops, remixes, and vocal sessions. After the key is detected, tune vocals in the browser or choose a vocal preset chain that fits the song key and genre.

Session Decisions

Use BPM, key, and Camelot results to make the next production move.

The detector is most useful when the result immediately informs tuning, remixing, sample flipping, DJ prep, or vocal preset selection.

  • Tune vocalsSend the detected song key into the vocal tuner so pitch correction follows the track.
  • Transpose samplesUse the key result before pitching loops, acapellas, melodies, or sample chops.
  • Sync effectsSet delays, tremolo, sidechain pulses, and time-based effects from the detected BPM.
  • Plan remixesUse BPM and Camelot notation to find compatible songs before blending or flipping an idea.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this as a song key detector?
Yes. Upload a song, beat, loop, or rough mix and the analyzer estimates the musical key, mode, Camelot code, confidence, BPM, and common half-time/double-time alternatives.
Should I detect key before tuning vocals?
Yes. A vocal tuner or pitch-correction plugin works best when it knows the song key. Use the detected key here, then open the vocal tuner or a vocal preset chain that matches the song.
How accurate is the BPM detection?
The audio is analyzed by Essentia's RhythmExtractor2013, running two beat-tracking algorithms (multifeature and Degara) in parallel and reducing their per-frame BPM estimates to the integer mode. This is robust to tracks where the kick and hi-hat lock onto different tempos — a common failure mode in trap and hip-hop. On music with a steady beat, accuracy is typically within ±1 BPM; half- and double-time candidates are listed alongside the result.
How does key detection work?
A Harmonic Pitch Class Profile (HPCP) is computed across the whole song and matched against the EDMA profile templates from Essentia — learned from a corpus of electronic and hip-hop music, so the analyzer handles modern production better than the classical-listening profiles older tools were built on. The top key is reported with a strength score and the matching Camelot wheel position.
Is this tool really free?
Yes — every Rys Up Audio tool is 100% free, with no signup, watermark, or upload limits. The free tools are how we introduce producers to our paid plugins and vocal presets.
Do you upload my audio to a server?
Most tools process audio entirely in your browser via the Web Audio API — your file never leaves your device. AI-powered tools (stem splitting, vocal removal) run on cloud GPUs and the input is deleted immediately after the job finishes.
What audio formats are supported?
Every tool accepts MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, and OGG up to 50 MB per file. Exports default to high-quality 16-bit WAV.
Does this work on mobile?
Yes — every tool is responsive and works in iOS Safari and Android Chrome. Some tools (like the virtual piano) are optimized for multi-touch.
