Lots of producers I like, when explaining their workflow, categorize their songs in the key it was written 😂
Good stuff! I like the spacey!

There you go nostr:nprofile1qqsp3yzapfwkyw4cr2vt4xx9s27474lj2pkxhqyfqh79n826pv3fkzqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqzymhwden5te0dejhwueww468smewdahx2qgjwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxv33yz8 another spacey number, as promised. At a lowly 128BMP, very unusual for me😳, also made with an 808 as opposed to my usual 909. It's also in F# Minor for what it's worth😂. That took me just over an hour to put together, the slow spacey melodic stuff is a breeze, it's the harder more aggressive stuff that is more difficult.

I've only really started making stuff in "A key" for about the last 18 months or so, before that, I'd just make an atonal hellscape of noise😬😂.
All the percussions in the same key? Or all the melodies start in the same note?
The lead and the atmospheric tone are both in F# Minor, it doesn't matter so much about the percs, I just tune and filter them "By ear".
Let’s say I’m playing a melody (4-5 notes) and I want to put it in key, I just start it with that note basically?
Looked it up. It’s with the scales 🫡
I used to think that but it's not quite that simple. It actually involves music theory, which i know pretty much, zero about. The only reason I'm able to do it, is that in Ableton, you can set a scale and it will highlight all notes that are in the key you've chosen, so playing any of them notes, means it's in that key. It does actually give your track a more harmonious, cohesive feel, if you're able to do this. While it doesn't matter greatly with the kind of stuff I make, I still like to do it now. It's very important if you're making melodic stuff, though.
I usually always use the same notes, harmonies in a melodic lead, pads and bass of a melodic track. I’ll add in a scale next time I do one of those
Adding in a scale helps massively, as you're then essentially playing chords. When I first started out, I didn't know anything about that so was just playing one note at a time and my tracks sounded "Thin", if that makes sense. Adding a scale/key/chords will improve the "Fullness" of your tracks no end🥳.
