Hey guys,i dont have strong ear recognition system and thats why i use software to find the root key of acapella . The problem is that i get diffrent results from Mixed in Key and Melodyne . The acapella im trying to analyze is just the clean studio acapella . Basicly Mixed in Key tells me (A-flat Minor) and the root note on the melodyne picture is F , please give some help here .

Well it does end on E, which, if we assume traditional modality, means that it's in the key of E.

Then we have E, F#, G#, A and (low) D. That would be E-Mixolydian, with the fifth and sixth missing.
Then again, we only see a snapshot, so the E might not even be the final note, and I have no idea what that F is that starts the thing. Also, a missing fifth is weird at best.
You rarely see Mixolydian outside jazz these days, so maybe the best guess is A-Major. We have the keynote, fourth and fifth...

Seven flats, yikes! I would rather go for the enharmonic equiv which would be five sharps. But software doesn't care I suppose. :D
