The first four minutes is him staying check me out I'm so cool.

Really cool tip. One suggestion for everyone - change the settings for Ableton Spectrum to get a cleaner graph with these applied: Block - 8192 Channel - L+R Refresh - 60.0ms Avg - 1 Graph - Line and Max Scale X - Log Auto 0 to -120 Make sure to save as default so that these settings pop up every time you add the analyzer too

Thank you very much. Most things I already had my suspicion about, but it's nice to see them acknowledged by a third party. I'm using SPAN as spectrum analyzer. Question: What about the hihats? Do you keep 'em in tune with the snare/claps?

I think transposing can damage the sound so much so what I do is keep the kick in any note inside the scale and it's the only drum sound I actually tune. Claps/snares I will maybe toon if they are sounding strange.

Tuning drums is goat-level.

Question: Im in D minor, but my kick in E sounded pretty off, however tuning it to D makes it ”warehouse techno” kind of, so would you say F might be better? Sure I know ”listening” is what matters but in theory… Thanks!

awesome vid, thanks a lot. 1 question tho, if you are tuning your kick to the root note, what is your bass tuned to? :)

@AlmostHomeSounds

3 жыл бұрын

Hey thanks for the comment and I'm glad you liked it! In the song I was working on in the video, the bass more or less follows the root of each chord in the progression. So in this case it will sometimes hit at the same note as the kick because the 1 chord is included. This could change depending on the style of song you're working on, or whether the 1 chord is part of your progression. It's pretty likely that your bass will hit at the same note as the kick at some point in the song though. Lemme know if that answers your question :)

What do you usually tune the hi hats to if the kick is at the root and snares/claps are on the fifth?

@AlmostHomeSounds

3 жыл бұрын

I would try the root and fifth and see if you like either. Probably whichever one preserves the quality of the sample

oh man, ive been using ableton for yyyyeeeeeaaarrrss. always saying im "self taught" when really i've taught myself fuck all. well im really good at making a muddy mix if that's what you're after haha this video was perfect. easy to understand, shown on several different VSTs including native ones. keep it up man!

Also with the frequency shifter at default, does it put sounds at 180 phase with that knob at the bottom left of it?

@AlmostHomeSounds

3 жыл бұрын

i think that phase knob is only in reference to the LFO, so it's not doing anything if you're just using it for tuning

if you unwarp the drum track and then pitch it down, is that the same as using frequency shifter? or is that different still?

@AlmostHomeSounds

3 жыл бұрын

Hey Wesley! Not the same- unwarping just makes the length of the sample change in proportion to the pitch change.

Cant you use eq8 to find the note it'd in?

Many people say your kick drum has to hit at 50Hz exactly. If the fundamental freq. is at 50 that means my kick is tuned to one certain note. What if my track is in a different key? Or when its hitting at 50Hz can that be a sideband or does it have to be the fundamental freq? Or is the 50Hz rule just bullshit?

@AlmostHomeSounds

3 жыл бұрын

Yo thanks for the comment! Yeah I mean tuning the kick to "exactly" 50hz is bullshit, although it's not totally clear what they mean. Like you said, that means you're tuning your root note to 50hz which doesn't always align to the key you're working in. I'm sure in certain genres, there are certain "best practices" that are thrown around as being the secret sauce to make your drums hit right. Maybe whoever says that just thinks that 50hz is his favorite frequency to perceive in kicks. As in, there will be information in the 50hz range regardless of the tuning, and perhaps it is important to hear it. It's also possible they mean 50hz is *around* where you want to find your kick fundamental.

@AlmostHomeSounds

3 жыл бұрын

In practice, you will definitely see root notes hitting higher and lower than 50hz, and sometimes even a little lower than 30hz. But the lower you go, eventually you will stop perceiving notes and only perceive the feeling of sub. What you want to do is scan through with your EQ and figure out in which octave the tone of your kick has the most effect on your mix. Then work on correcting and/or emphasizing those frequencies. Generally, when someone says to "always" do something a very particular way, someone is wrong.

FYI transient sounds like claps don't have pitch, sorry to break it to you. but they are just transient noise. some snares and toms do, but generally drums don't you only need to be concerned with musical clashes in the lower octaves (under 120hz). so longer kicks will need attention anything else don't worry. (btw I'm a professional and a professional ghost for others of 15 years+ with 200million+ streams in just dance music you can trust my advice here)

maybe i misspoke but we’re talking about tuning fundamentals here, not transients. maybe there won’t be musical clashes, but it can be more pleasant when drums are tuned in key. that said, i don’t spend much time tuning these days and am perfectly fine with the result. so whatever you’re into :)

@Bthelick

@@AlmostHomeSounds yeah all sounds have fundamentals, but only sounds which follow the correct harmonic series have discernible note pitch. you were trying to tune a clap musically which just isn't applicable. sure they can be pitched like any sound but that's done only for aesthetic reasons of timbre (personal sound preference) not musical tuning.

@larsi1206

@@Bthelick i agree. U can tune sounds like 808s and maybe kicks... Things that have a audible tonality to them. I completely agree to tune things like Acoustic drums or samples that have an audible tonality and that Frequency shifting is a better alternative to tune drums than the sampler’s transposition controls But This is just waste of time... I dont think if u tune every "nontonality" perc it would make your mix sound any greater. Its about picking right samples that clashes together right. Not tune them... and i dont think any person that listen to music daily thinks about your snare is 3 semitones off the scale.....

What would you use in Logic to do the same thing?

@AlmostHomeSounds

3 жыл бұрын

I believe you can use Ringshifter as a frequency shifter. Then use your preferred spectrum analyzer to monitor the tuning. I'd still recommend MAanalyzer or Pro-Q as far as 3rd party because I'm not that familiar with stock Logic plugins.

If you're sampling a song like Adele for example, should you also not use the transpose knob because then you're doubling the frequencies like you said?

@AlmostHomeSounds

3 жыл бұрын

Depending on what kind of sampling you're doing, you could get some interesting results trying different tuning methods. Like old school hip hop sampling- you could use any method to end up with something unique. But if you're sampling to use a piece of another song like a drum, I'd still recommend freq shifter. If you're sampling an entire arrangement with multiple instruments, I believe you'd want to use transpose in order to keep all the instruments in tune. Know what I mean?

I should add though, that if you're taking an 808 from a drum kit, it's probably already tuned to a note. In which case you should be able to use the transpose function to move it between semitones. It probably depends on how much mid/high end content is in the sample as to how much you'll benefit from the freq shifter

@@djklehn2660 If the sample isn't tuned to a note at all, (ie: in between notes) then definitely use the frequency shifter. But this isn't likely because the sample was probably created with a synth that is hitting a note. If you need to re-tune between semitones, try out transpose. If the sample deteriorates too much with transpose, try out freq shifter.
