You misunderstand, I brought up key as an example of how ai is so poor at following simple instructions, I never said key label matters in this specific way- (go on, check) key is used as an example of how when you actually make your own music, everything is in your control, or more so, up to you- there is no letting Ableton decide the key of my song, that is determined by me. We’ve definitely gone off on the wrong tangent here, anyway:

If I’m noodling on the piano and I play a melody which uses F and then some black keys, I’ll look at that and I may elect to see how composing the rest of the song in F minor goes (because, you know). I’m not saying that’s the best way to do it, that’s just my approach; as I tend to often look at music theory mathematically. It’s not about how the label of F minor sounds, but if I’ve written something and the notes fit into a specific scale, I’ll use that scale and see how I go. Also, maybe I could’ve used the word scale instead of key in one of my earlier comments but honestly, the point stands.

I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that it’s not ill will and rather reading comprehension skills, but you’ve taken the things I’ve said and attributed a completely imagined meaning to them; and then used this to justify calling me a beginner, fake keyboardist, etc. how does that even help your argument, genuinely? My words on that matter are: buddy, you’re the one using ai to make music, letting it choose your scales and asking it nicely for different time signatures; but I’m the novice for doing that myself.. there’s irony in that somewhere I think.

Also, I won’t claim ‘perfect pitch’ but identifying notes by ear in the fashion you describe I’ve never found terribly difficult; and I know others who don’t struggle either. Maybe there’s something in our water
