What is your favourite key (or keys) and why? Do you use any key for any specific sounds or projects? What do you associate with that key? Is there anything that you find doesn't work within your favourite key?
As for me, I like the darker keys. There is something about Dm that speaks to my ear, followed closely by Bm and Ebm. I find them much more somber and mysterious, but strangely they make me reign in the tempo when using them.
I read that Hans Zimmer is a frequent user of Dm, so I guess some people have a favourite key, or are maybe led by genre expectations to use certain keys.
Anyway, I just wondered about everyone else's preferences.
