    Added tip: 100 cents in a semitone and a semitone is the length apart between the next note in the piano :) also if the samples key is two far from being adjusted well try a key that works well with the key of the track (use the Camelot scale ect.)

    You have got to be kidding me! I’ve been using the logic stock plugin pitch shifter this whole time (which sounds really bad) and just now you showed me the transpose function!!! This is going to help me so much, thank you!

      I throw the sample into Edison, then auto-find the key, then transpose to whatever Key I’m working in (or C).....
      Is there a better way? I’m worried the auto-Key Finder may not be accurate.

    The most un convoluted tutorial.
    Bro I have seen 100's on this topic.
    But this one seemed simple and easy without you trying to over explain. So many musicians on here I think like to hear themselves talk and sound musically smart but really Complicate it like trying to get a drink of water from a firehose.
    Thx bud

  • @philsmith2202
    @philsmith2202 5 лет назад +3

    Great tip here, should have pitched up two semi tones though to get D :-) Also to add to this you can mix in the click attack of the original pitched sample or another percussive click over the newly pitched sample to make it sound better as if your moving the sample more than +3 or -3 semitones you start to get artifacts.

    kick and 808 need to be tuned on the same note? for example, I've a kick tuned on G and 808 tuned on D, i need to tune both of them to the same note?

    • @tommyneveplast
      @tommyneveplast 3 года назад

      They just need to be on the same scale you using for the beat.. 808s generically do more than one note in a song. Kicks generically just play one note throughout the whole song. btw a kick most of the time should be on the root note

  • @majkistyle
    @majkistyle 5 лет назад +1

    Nice video. I have 1 questions though - what about kicks for example? Their low-end fundamental is usually super wide (q-wise), in addition, sometimes a sample is also layered and I find it pretty difficult to determine whether it's C, C# or something in between (based on visuals from Pro Q). Any tips on that?

    • @rgarzari
      @rgarzari 5 лет назад +1

      Hi Michal, what I do is pitch the kick 1 or 2 octaves higher and it usually becomes much easier to tell visually what key it is in. If you still can't tell what it is, you can also use a method similar to the one in the link below to figure it out.
