Kind of a weird question I guess but bare with me.
A little while back I discovered a lot of my music was in B minor, even in different tunings I would always come back to the same set of chords and tones that I was used to and loved, I think mainly because my guitar was tuned to drop B.
So one day I was pitch-shifting some of my songs just for fun to see what it sounded like and found in some sense that I preferred it a semi-tone higher, which would bring the tuning to drop C.
Here's an example of what I mean, here's a piece of one of my songs

Now here's the same but a semi-tone higher

Which one do you prefer? If you like it at all! Haha. And which ever one you prefer then why? It's something that I've wondered about for ages, before I was doing a cover of To Live Is To Die by Metallica and preferred listening to it a 3 semi-tones down for some reason.
I imagine it's because I've just become bored of the same key all the time, so this sounds in some ways fresher maybe?
Either way, would love to hear your opinions!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
