I've been trying to find the key of songs and samples to add my own instrumentation over them. I have tried methods where I hum or sing the notes I hear and try to match it up with a keyboard note and while I USUALLY can get the proper intervals, it's the wrong notes and I am extremely bad at actually determining whether the notes fit or not.
I have been going on a site that has songs and their labeled key (Popular Songs @ Song Key Finder) just to try to find the key and use that to check how off I was, and i'm wrong 9/10 times. I understand that this is something that is going to take time to develop but are there specific ear training techniques I should be putting into practice, or any other ways of finding keys of songs? I love sampling and but I feel very limited when I can't even lay down a proper bassline.
Thanks
