I like d minor, I heard it's the saddest of keys
Should've chosen a manlier name
Re: Favorite key to produce in?
C Major you just hit the white keys
I ain't really got a favourite, but if you put a keyboard in front of me, and I can't think of anything to play their is a good chance I will just jam in F minor.

Re: Favorite key to produce in?
Usually C, E, G, and D.
No idea why just always end up in those choices.

F# minor, E minor and of course D minor which as we all know is the saddest of all keys.

Gm
A
F#m
That kind of thing, when I used to play guitar it was always stuff in Dm or Em but I prefer writing a bit higher now, for some reason between F and A sounds really warm and full to me.

E, F, F# or G...bass sounds nice 

Re: Favorite key to produce in?
I seem to have a soft spot for A and it's derivatives. I dunno, seems to be rather melancholic and thought-provoking to me.

Re: Favorite key to produce in?
I like the fact that people are actually posting up the keys they write in, that means that not everyone in electronic music thinks that music theory is for n00bs who just can't make Datsik bass yet.

Re: Favorite key to produce in?
neither of those are keys
Re: Favorite key to produce in?
I roll two dice and transpose up or down to the number that I roll from a minor.
Then I pick keys that are close in the circle of fifths and layer up lines on those.
