What's the method you use get a note/key in a song?

What's the method you use get a note/key in a song?

Around Feburary, I discovered a site called Hooktheory when I randomly looked up what music scale for Megalovania is from here.

I started with custom compositions and learned in videos (Especially Ryan Tabs) how it's important to have stable scale degrees which decreases the amount of which possible notes could sound correct in the song. Soon, I created my own TheoryTabs and made accuracy notes of the song almost perfectly. These include:
Back on Track - from Geometry Dash (Chorus Lead Out and one note fix on Verse from someone else who did it)
Cycles - from Geometry Dash
100 OJ - Arthur's Theme
Waterflame - Hexagon Force


Hexagon Force is the one I wish I want to SMW port for myself since the current one is obsolete and inaccurate by today's standards.

So, what do you guys think? There is probably only a few of you out there who use Hooktheory.

Preferably, I use my ears to figure out what notes I'm hearing in a song, and then I end up putting them on a piano roll/MIDI editor, to the .txt, or both (from MIDI to .txt). I never tried out Hooktheory; I've only ever seen what it does.
