I make a variety of genre so that's great advice :D

Am I correct?

This is Dm then into Am by an accidental B then truck change back into Dm.

The vocal was supposed to be E. My key detector says my song is B.

You wont learn anything about theory if you use key detection software. Do some reading and learn to play an instrument.

It would be better if you didn't keep starting new threads about the same issue. One is enough.

In this thread I was told off about being unspecific and deviating from the original subject.

Can't win :? :?

Can you explain?

I'm only checking whether I am doing it right or wrong. How am I supposed to know?

I'm not a troll or somebody doing shilling for a software company. Where are the forum rules/guidelines?

How do I learn? I'm simply asking questions about things I don't understand or i'm not sure about.

Please don't start a new thread every time you have a question about key. I'll consolidate your current threads into one. Please post further questions to that thread.

If you want to change the thread's subject, you can edit the first post in that thread.

Each question is different, hence the separate thread.
