Is there a database where you can search songs by key signature?
So lets just say I have a drum arrangement laid down with everything tuned specific to D. Is there anywhere online nowadays where I could browse songs organized by key if I were looking for an acapella but wasnt sure what to go with?

Not that I'm aware of - after all, you can perform a song in any key you want. I don't know, Google it?

I'm going to go out on the limb here and posit that most songs in the popular music genre are in the key of E, A or D.

Tuning my kick/claps/snares and toms to the 1st and 5th degree of my scales. Sometimes the 3rd. And a lot of the time I like starting a project with no idea where I'm going with it so I just start designing a drum kit and making a drum loop to get things started. Only problem is Im really picky about tuning everything from the very start so I dont have a big bunch of annoying things to do later. So i need to decide on a key right away so I can go on with making my drums. And I dont always have a vocal to go with the key I end of picking. I usually just base my key off whatever kick drum i wanna use at the time. Which brings me to what i need. Somewhere I can browse a database of songs online where they are organized by key. So if my drums are in D or A or whatever, I can go browse and look for vocals in D or A. |
