How important do you think it is to stay in key?

100% important.

You can use music theory to change how you go into the next piece of the song but to stay in key during that section is very important. I've found this out from my own experiments. If you don't stay in key you cannot match other sounds and connect your pieces of your song properly. You lose "flow."

Note: There is a difference between changing everything during your next piece of the song and going out of key during your bar increments.

However, please also take into consideration that there are no set guidelines to what key you change into/use as the song goes on or how you write it. Just as long as you stick on it with your main melodies.

Sounds and whatever else are secondary so the extra bleeps and bloops in my personal opinion can be in any key. but I've noticed oddly it does sound better if it's closer to on key.

Why did you post this after 3 pages of people who are clearly more knowledgable than you have stated that it doesn't necessarily matter?

Why do half the people post on this board who give bad advice and why do people listen to them when their tune sigs as examples of their work sound like absolute shit? Welcome to the internet.

I don't really acknowledge keys. When I'm using a sample I'll find some of the same notes, but I'm not classically trained, so my knowledge of music theory and what "should be" is limited. I don't use any traditional scales or keys. I make a lot of weird arpeggios and will use the same notes with different instrumets, but I like weird sounds anyway, so things being off key and out of tune are normal for me.
