Intro:
These forums helped me big time to stay in tune when composing something.
If one track start at F all other tracks should too.
If I remember right, I was also told, this is not entirely true, but its a great starting point, for people new to making music, like me.
I have studied multiple midi files, and multiple synthesia vids, and most songs, do follow this "rule"
Question:
While working on popcorn I noticed the midi file I am using, is one of the exceptions.
( not all tracks start at the same key )
Does anybody know a site which explains this ?
Or should I say, bleep the theory and use my ears ?
I am however not totally confident, if my ears are already good enough to do so.
I could of course just do as the midi file does, but I wont learn anything from that, nor do I like to use midi flies this way.
If I get stuck when trying to cover a song, I always look for a midi file, but I never copy paste those notes into my song.
Edit maybe I should give a more specific example:
This Vid at 1.21 the blue notes.
When I try to add a string track, my ears seem to think, that I should start at the highest note of the blue note.
When I try to start at the same note, the lowest of the blue ones, my ears start to protest ?
It confuses me.
How far I am at the moment:

Is at least the first part in tune ? At 1.06 is were my ears start to protest. ( but I am not 100% happy about the strings before this either)
