I use FL Studio 12.3 (6 1/2 year old DAW version).
I won't lie, my keyboarding isn't really great (it's good enough to play melodies, and basic chords). I can play in several keys and chords, but haven't bothered to memorize the names of some (idk why).
As for favorite keys and chords, I tend to favor B-minor and a triad chord that has the 2nd and 3rd key a 4th and 6th from the root. I also like to change the key and chords in a song to make things more interesting.

Thats great! And haha, I also love every B chord, I probably use a B or a B flat on every one of my songs lol. But my favorite chords are every 7th chords, for example a chord progression using only Em7 and Cmaj7 sounds beautiful and a bit haunting to me. When you play a 5th note over the root chord, that adds a bluesy feel to the melody , 5th notes are called the "blues notes" .
Keep on learning to memorize every chord, and train your ear by learning songs by ear! Its really fun once you get into it and can recognize chords from music you are listening to haha! I use Ableton to record guitar/other instrument tracks live on the software. I used FL Studio 20 before, but after I tried Ableton I haven't went back haha. Ableton really has a simple interface and the live playing feature in it is great! I guess there is a free trial for Ableton too if you want to try it

Yeah, this music stuff is fun and difficult at the same time. Tons of stuff to memorize and learn, but with enough effort, you can make almost anything you are thinking of. 9 years of doing it, gotten better, but still learning new things, ha.
Any links to your music? Even if it's not a genre or style I'm into , I'd like to have a listen.

Got around to buying new stuff.
HP x27c (curved monitor)
Thermaltake Smart 700W 80+ White PSU
Nvidia GT 1030
be quiet! Pure Wings 92mm Cooling Fan
WD Green 240GB SSD ("boot drive, main drive, whatever", replaces 120GB Samsung SSD that came with the computer)
WD Blue 2TB HDD, 7200 rpm (replaces 2TB Hitachi HDD that is like 11 1/2 years old, came with the computer)
From that first post, "7 1/2 years old", I referred to the hard drive's power-on hours.
