You need to learn some basic music theory to understand keys and their relationship to a song.

Try this - http://ravenspiral.com/ravenspiralguide.pdf

EDIT - You already started a thread about musical theory in relationship to producing, where a lot of the information re; keys/scales etc has been mentioned - http://www.dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=197439

The key is the root note of the melodic aspects of the song... the included it because you should work in A and tones which mesh well with A harmonically. basically, if they made the lead's for the song in the key of A, and you slap a bassline after them in BSharp, its going to sound all kindsa out of place. Make some kind of sense?

Just wikipedia 'A major' and it tells you what notes are in that scale. There is a scale for every note ie B major, C# Major, etc, and there are also 'minor' scales for every key as well ie B minor and C# minor, it's just a group of 7 notes that harmonically soud well or fit with each other which more or less fully comes into play when writing chords.

Just use your ears
