    • @FireWalkMusic
      @FireWalkMusic  5 лет назад +1

      I don't recmmend tuning a kick too much. Max one or two semitones I'd say. If it's tuned too far then it will always sound funny. Note that you don't need to tune it to the root note. As long as you tune it to the nearest note that's in the scale then you'll be fine.

      When using the piano roll like that, it assumes that the kick is already set to C as the root note. IF it's not, then it won't work.

    Your information and videos are fantastic. But wish to offer my "armchair" thoughts.( I use 'armchair ", as you are the teacher here and I will be respectful but offer a different thought, than you are showing.)
    I choose to download load g tuner. ( Did not like the fact had to down load other things, just to be able to download this plugin).
    While waiting for approx. ten minutes to download. I thought ' Why do I really need this plugin" So, I did not download and removed the pc add luggage it gave me.
    In my piano roll, I can change the kick or any instrument to the correct key that I need,
    save on 1 plugin and hence, less CPU usage?.
    Anyways, thank you for the wealth of information here and definitely will be looking at your other videos.

    • @FireWalkMusic
      @FireWalkMusic  6 лет назад +5

      Kicks doesn't sound good when they are tuned too much. I would only recommend tuning them slightly. No more than a few hundred cents at the most. Usually, as long as the kick is in a key that's in the same scale, you'll be OK. you don't always have to tune it to the root note. If it's a semitone away from matching a key that's in the same scale, then it might be better to just tune it to that key instead.

      Glad you liked it :) Not all kicks need to be tuned and some times it sounds better when they're not. Some times they sound better when they are in the same key as the track. It's also worth trying when you have a kick that you really like, but it just doesn't sit quite right in the mix. Tuning it just a little bit can often make it pop right into place :)

    • @FireWalkMusic
      @FireWalkMusic  4 года назад

      No, when you move it around in the piano roll it will pitch it, but it will pitch it based on whatever the root note of the sample is to begin with. If you want to do it that way you have to make sure that C in the piano roll is also C in the sample. It can be done, but it's not faster than this method. :)

    • @FireWalkMusic
      @FireWalkMusic  6 лет назад +1

      Yes, the root note is the same. In E major you would be using the notes C#,D#,E,F#,G#,A,B , While in E minor you would be using C,D,E,F#,G,A,B. If you want to make a happy sounding track then go with E major. If you want it to sound sad then go with the minor scale.

  • @richardschaffer3080
    @richardschaffer3080 5 лет назад +3

    Or could you just open an equalizer, and just raise/lower the pitch to the right key?

    • @FireWalkMusic
      @FireWalkMusic  5 лет назад +2

      There are many ways to do it. You could find the resonant frequencies for the key you are in and boost those, and reduce those that's not in the key. There's also dedicated plugins that will do this for you. A general rule of thumb when it comes to kicks though is that you should only tune it if it needs just a little bit of tuning. When you need to pitch it by a lot it tends to sound awful, and in those cases I find that it's better to just find a different kick instead.

    • @FireWalkMusic
      @FireWalkMusic  8 лет назад +2

      Hi, If you are using FL Studio then you can open the piano roll, then go to "helpers" and select "scale highlighting" and choose a scale there. You can also select "automatic", it will then attempt to detect the scale of your song automatically and show it in the hint bar. It doesn't always work perfectly though.
      The old school way of detecting the key of a track is to try out the keys on the piano repeatedly while the song is playing. When you find a key that sounds good with all your chords, you have most likely found the key that the track is in. :)

      Unfortunately it doesn't always work 100% with all samples. Especially if the sample is right in between semitones.
      Have you tried with another sample? You can also try adjusting the pitch in the sampler slightly and see if that will enable it to "see" the key. :)

    • @ldig7613
      @ldig7613 7 лет назад +3

      An alternative method is to load the kick drum sample into edison. Then go to the flag icon to the right of the wrench tool, and in the drop down menu select "detect pitch regions". It will display the note of the kick. In some cases, there will be more than one note detected. If it is a bassy kick, I personally use the longer portion, or the sustain part of the kick. Once the note is detected, simply go to the sampler channel and click on the wrench icon. On the piano roll at the bottom, assign the sample to the correct note by right clicking on the note that was detected in edison. Hope that isn't too long and helps! :)

    When I do this it pretty often jumps between two different notes. So one hit it says its F# around 42 hz and the next hit it says B 60 hz, how do I know if I should pitch it up or down when my root is A?

    Hello. Say, my track is in C minor. So should i tune my kick to C minor or C major? I use a different instrument for reference to tune my kick to it by ear. Thank you.

    • @xMaSSxHyST3RiA

      "C minor" is a chord, not a note. You have to ask the right question to get the right answer (hope that helps a bit)

    then, for example, if I am working a song in the B scale, Do I have to put my kick in some note from B scale? isn`t it?

    • @FireWalkMusic
      @FireWalkMusic  5 лет назад +6

      It depends. Generally a kick that's in the same key sound better. And if it's in the root note then that's the absolute best. But often times they are not, and usually they will tend to sound worse when tuned a lot. Therefore I recommend to tune it to the nearest note that's in the scale, so that you don't have to tune it by much. I find that when tuned more than a few hundred cents it ruins the kick.

    • @FireWalkMusic
      @FireWalkMusic  6 лет назад +2

      Just choose the key you think sound the best. Any given melody can be played in many different keys, and it will sound quite different depending on the key you choose.
      I suggest learning some basic music theory. That will make it much easier in the long run. At least learn the basic stuff such as keys and chords and such.
      If you don't know any keys then just stick to the White notes, if you that then you're sure that it's in the same key.

    • @FireWalkMusic
      @FireWalkMusic  7 лет назад +1

      You can hold down the ctrl key while adjusting the knob. This will enable fine tuning, making it easier to adjust. Then just pay attention to the display and you should be able to get it spot on. :)

    I have to ask (at the risk of sounding dumb)... Do live drummers tune their kicks, snares, etc.? I know you can tune a guitar, piano, bass, etc., but I've never heard of a drum set being tuned.

    • @Anthony-fb7ju
      @Anthony-fb7ju 4 года назад

      I believe they do. I once saw Questlove twist something on his snare while he was playing and the pitch dropped substantially. I only saw him do it to the snare but I would imagine you can do it with the other drums too.

      Hey. Steve, (who has a background from radio) is doing the talking while I'm doing everything else. :) I've considered doing some voiceovers myself as well, in order to be able to make more tutorials faster, but people seem to be so pleased with Steve's voice that I've just kept working with him. I'm from Norway myself so my spoken English isn't as great as what you're getting from Steve. :)
      I suppose my reasoning is that because these tutorials are being watched by people from all over the world, it's probably a lot easier for some to understand what Steve is saying than me. :)
      Thanks for the suggestion, I'm not aware of that plugin, but I'll definitely check it out! :)
