Anyone know of a program or plugin that can do this?

Thanks!
 
Acid maybe?

SoundForge can take the FFT of a signal and give you the frequensy and tone. You can do that on a short bit of the song.


Can't you just use a guitar? :D
 
Would you like to learn how? It's pretty easy.

You win nothing. Just like your Yankees last night ;)

But you are correct AFAIK. The point I was trying to make was that I've heard people debate this. 'A' is the answer, but one guy I know, a guitar teacher by trade and a Berklee grad tried to argue it was in E because it starts and ends on that walking E guitar/bass riff. So I'm led to wonder how the software would make certain distinctions since many songs begin with the I(one) chord.


Seriously.

Pretty Woman is definitely in the Key of "A"...just look at the chord progression ;)

Exactly. Even if it ended on E, which it doesn't, the scale sets the key, not the start and end cord. :confused: :rolleyes:
Hell, even throwing that out the window, the whole HOOK is just a set-up SCREAMING to go 'Ah, ...Home. ;)
