You can pitch your drum samples(kicks, 808s and toms) to match your mix if you want your melodies and chord progressions to really sound off and be the main drive for your track. sometimes its not necessary if you have a track that is mainly driven by a tight drum progressions. I highly suggest tuning kicks and toms if your going to sample, sampled beats with off drums sounds horrid -.-
he's right, when an 808 is tuned a major first to the primary melody, it sounds awful. ANY drum with intonation: congas, 808's, etc, if they're not in tune, it sounds horrible
@rillloudmother It's an interval between notes on a keyboard. Play a C, and play the D to the right of it, it creates a sound that sounds displeasing or clashing to most, UNLESS it's in a chord context where it causes flavor. Most poeople would "feel" a kick drum in C in a song with a key of D to be extremely out of tune.
honestly everyone has there preference it really just comes from what type of music your producing im a hip hop and R&B producer and in most cases the 808 is in the same exact key of the song to give it a more drive to it but in other cases if im trying to create more of a jezzy type feel ill leave it mono tone and go from the 1 to the 5 or 1 to the 4 depending on what im doing. and when it comes to pop rock and all that its just a different sound for each element .
@SeedlessBeatz nah! I have some decent Monitors...I just come from an era when this type of sonic clarity was not possible my ears prefer a more "dirty" sound. As for the lows there is a particular frequency range I prefer to hear where optimum sound travels through most speakers thats all.
I guess im old school cuz I prefer the sound when the drums clash or even override everything but I dont like when they are to low they dont sound good on most speakers
If you wanna tune kicks to the key of the song, go to Reason's NN-XT, load a kick in there then set root notes to pitch detection then put your kick on the root of the key.
faggot bounce it to hardware and then get a fat sound then if you really need to side chain it to the bass if you want a pumping action to it....i hate it when faggots talk about the music when its all about what you hear if it sounds good its good

@MrGraffitiAmsterdam juist jij snapt het. Dit probeer ik mensen al jaren bij te brengen maar ik denk 90% van de hedendaagse "hiphop" producers snapt dit concept gewoon niet....
Het geen kwestie van smaak maar gewoon muziek technisch niet handig...
@MrGraffitiAmsterdam Ja oke ik was misschien een beetje rationaal. Maar snap je wat ik bedoel? Ik heb het tegen de gasten die altijd alleen maar de 808 drumkit gebruiken, en verder niks. Ik gebruik zelf ook soms een 808 kick om het wat dikker te maken hoor, maar ik bedoel dat mensen niet altijd dezelfde, onoriginele dingen moeten doen.
Tuning kicks is probably more of a "ping pong" sounding cheap ass hip hop drums. It's not something commonly done in serious music (rock, pop, country, metal, jazz).
@lyrix15 No I didn't say that. Drummers always tune the kit and that's mandatory. Especially when recording. I say that tuning your kick (or any other kit piece) to a key of the song and even CHANGING tune when song progress in other harmony is the stupidest thing I ever heard. Maybe with 808 in rap or something but no serious producers is chasing back harmony and trying to match drum set tune with melody and harmony of the song.
@Vanjal why is black music not serious music and why is that the stupidest thing you have ever heard? I have actually worked with a band that wanted to tune all their instruments so that they matched the frequency of the earth (430hz instead of 440). Might sound stupid but I never felt it was stupid to experiment and as long as you get the results you are looking for I have know problem with any gimmicks as strange as they might sound. In some situations it might be cool if the kick matches.
@lyrix15 I absolutely agree with you. On every aspect. You SHOULD do whatever makes you imagination blossom and make you productive. I didn't say "black" music I said hip hop/rap because I was referring to guy in this video. I watched a LOT of rap producers on YouTube and listened of course to a lot of that music and they really don't know what they're doing. Mostly...except if they are Tony Maserati :) So..I'm not disrespectful but it's a total another dimension from engineering.
@Vanjal Scott Storch doesn't only produce hip hop/rap he produces black music in general. Apart from that I have to agree with you to a certain extend. The term producer is starting to become a mixture of songwriter/composer and engineer. Scott Storch is not an audio engineer. He has people who mix and master his work. Alot of "beat" producers on youtube dont have a clue about engineering but they have a clue about arrangement. Tony Maserati is an engineer therefore he has a clue about mixing.
@Vanjal In my opinion producers only need to have the ability to create a good rough mix so that the engineers know what the producer wanted everything to sound like. The engineer then perfects the mix by giving it signal depth, localization and layering frequencies.
@lyrix15 I really think you should change your mentality. Such approach will give your music a disadvantage during the writing stage. Most engineers DONT know whats in your mind, because everyone thinks different, so it's best you learn how to do what you want during the writing phase... and then the engineer can take what you've done and NOT perfect it, but give it an edge WITHOUT changing whats there, but bring it to life just a little bit more. Think more independance rather than dependance.
@arkangelio I actually studied audio engineering before working as a producer so I only have an external mastering engineer. I just think that people like Scott Storch have their engineers who know what kind of sound they want and thats why they dont have to worry about the techtalk of engineering. I think it all depends on what kind of producer you really are..
When I work on a track I engineer almost everything while composing and alot of people I know work this way is that what you meant?
@lyrix15 Yeah, I just believe that Writing / Producing / Engineering all inter-cross and should be considered from start to end of the track. This way, it's always in your control from day one... not to mention the work would be a lot more organised thus making it a lot easier for the engineer to get his head around the track, which will in turn help the engineer understand what's in the initial producers mind. True: it does depend on what kind of producer you are I geuss, everyone is different.
@Vanjal check most of the biggest producers and tracks in hip hop and r&b and you will notice kick drum and snare and clap have been tuned into the key of the song. I have noticed this on nearly all of Timbaland, Scott Strorch, JR and Polow Da Don tracks.
I can't believe this is an actual youtube video. Scott Storch talking about people who are pitch def? Tuning the bass to the melody of a song? Sooo music 101......Next.
freddy mercury here has talent. lots of talent on many levels.. yet, i have to mention this is a noob trick... i dont know anybody that doesnt tune their drum sounds when making a beat.. best way is to pitch up +12 so u hear it well and look at an analyzer... OR use ur ears.. OR a tuner
Actually, I understand what Scott is saying. He's saying that some producers can't hear that the kick (especially 808's which have long musical tones) is not in the same key as the song. He prefers to match the tone of the kicks to his songs. Even if the kicks have a very short note. Having knowledge about the notes as opposed to the hz shows you are more musical than technical.
hes right in tuning the kicks... but failed in the hertz! haha im guessing he didnt study mixing or sound engineering just because hes talking about "low E key" and the bass are not that good to hear at that note and then she asked him wut hertz are that? and he says 60? u can hear a great heart trembling bass at 35-40 hertz anything below that its almost unhearable
@GBlunted no its not... the 808 kick its composed of a distorted Sine wave and a sine wave to produce notes... try making a sond in G and play a regular Long 808 and see how it sounds
He makes one of the best beats what our generation gets into the ears fuck the haters im happy about the world has producer like scott storch hes a genius ok sorry for bad english people like he get my full respect they hold hip hop alive
@scenesteraccess dont talk to me like i know you, its simple dont hate because you wont ever make that amount of money in ur whole life, because your too dumb to focus on urself, instead of others, stupid
lol your comment hardly makes sense. I don't know why I'm wasting my time because you likely believe you're socially adept by speaking improperly. Fun Fact: A super money making marketer is not the same as a super producer.
Not a big fan of this guy but he is right. Anything below 60 hz is considered sub bass and is handled differently from a sonic standpoint in relation to kicks and basses working together within a song. At least I think thats what he meant..lol.
he said he didnt really know, he was guessing with 60hz. A low E that he is talking about is around 41hz, really you want to go from there to the D sharp around 78hz and keep your sub in that octave. Only a very limited amount of systems will go down below 40hz, most speakers wont go anywhere near there, your looking at subwoofers and very hardcore speakers only, so if you want someone with a decent set of home speakers to hear the bass your gonna have to keep it above 40, even 50 tbh.
@necaacen I suggest you watch my vid of my system. My peak frequency is around 33 hz and i can play way lower than 30. Bass above 50 hz sounds like shit IMO. I love the lows
thats fair enough if you have a system that can go below 30hz, you can make music and listen to it at home. but if you are selling music you have to take into acount that 99.9999999% of music playing setups dont go below about 40hz. In an ideal world you can sit around making music in 5.1 going down to a single hz and still sell enough to make a living but its not going to happen any time soon sadly. I hear what ur saying I love low subs but hes making pop music ultimatly.
Scott Storch is a douchebag! Most mainstream hiphop is far less than a superior form of music. It saddens me to see all of these worthless producers getting paid for such disgraceful sounds.
I have all the factory sounds from every drum machine made in the last 20 years including the AKAI MPC range with MPC programs and much more all in high quality 24Bit .wav.
Trust me, you want it I got it I have everything!
Contact me for a full list and remember to keep those beatz bangin!
in logic you use a test osc and make it to a sub freq with the chord or melody and then you can use that to have to bottom of the kick with it...then youu use a noise gate and have it triggered from the kick!! pow!...heavy in tune drums!
@DarkElixirDubstep it's easier to just load an EXS24 sampler with no instrument and the play the default sine wave on the lowest octave on the note you want, and either record it together with the kick or play it continuously and add a noise gate! But what Scott Storch means is you have to actually change the pitch of your kick sample for it to be on the key of the song.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wow what lame advice. . . tune the kick to the bass? he probly means you want to keep the bass drum tuned to the root of the songs scale that youre using. And i also love how he cant even just say the term 'Sub Bass' at the end of it. you gotta wonder sometimes. . .
nah he's actually right. You can tune the kick drum to the bass tune of the song. Of course, you want to keep the bass drum tuned to the song scale too, but whatever baseline you have, the kick drum should not clash with it. And I mean, the whole 'sub bass' thing, I don't think that shows a lack of expertise, I don't use the term 'sub bass' and I've been making beats for close to a decade.
Over Tim? I respect you view but readin that is like scratching a chalk board in my soul. BUT, I do admit Scott is a crazy BEAST as far as keys and beats!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yo pussy y r u hatin on scott i personaly know him. his sons my best friend nd yh he do wear those funny ass glasses but one pair of those are worth more then ur life. ive been in fame trust me its alot alot of money. but i dnt like the fame dat much
What he's talking about is when you have an 808 kick with a lot of sub base. in the 30-to 50 hz region and the key of your song is two low and has too much bottom end in that region as well. what will happen is that there will be alot of rumble and muddiness which will ruin your mix . because the kicks and base will over power the whole mix instead of just occupying the low end. a good idea is to roll off these frequencies using EQ or bring the mix up a couple octaves. Nice explanation scott
no not octaves.. say you're root note is in E and the 808 hits too low to sound good when you've got it tuned to the song, and you dont want to use a 5th or anything you want the 808 on the root, if you transpose it up to G or an A or something the 808 will then hit at a higher note that hits harder on speakers since a super low bass hit can only be heard on a super powerful system
Thanks for the response. Im a little confused do you mean the key of the song? so if the song's key is in E and you program your 808 kick to fall on a low E it won't be picked up on most systems whereas if you transpose the 808 up to a G or A the kick will come out clearer?
I'm saying IF you're on E and the 808, when tuned to the song, is to low (I dont know if for a fact it's too low at E, this is hypothetical).. then if you transpose the song up a couple keys (like mr storch said) it could make the 808 hit harder on a better note..
I like Scott Storch. He makes hot beats, so what if he's white and dresses a little "too" flashy with the bling and stuff, he's awesome. And people shouldn't hate I mean bro, he's just doing his thing. He does what he does and he is very successful. I can respect that a lot.
You can pitch your drum samples(kicks, 808s and toms) to match your mix if you want your melodies and chord progressions to really sound off and be the main drive for your track. sometimes its not necessary if you have a track that is mainly driven by a tight drum progressions.

Scott Storch is a douchebag! Most mainstream hiphop is far less than a superior form of music. It saddens me to see all of these worthless producers getting paid for such disgraceful sounds.

@BeatPerfection HHA nahhh dont add autotune to a kick...
in logic you use a test osc and make it to a sub freq with the chord or melody and then you can use that to have to bottom of the kick with it...then youu use a noise gate and have it triggered from the kick!! pow!...heavy in tune drums!
DarkElixirDubstep 11 months ago
@DarkElixirDubstep it's easier to just load an EXS24 sampler with no instrument and the play the default sine wave on the lowest octave on the note you want, and either record it together with the kick or play it continuously and add a noise gate! But what Scott Storch means is you have to actually change the pitch of your kick sample for it to be on the key of the song.
BeatPerfection 11 months ago
@BeatPerfection Yeah thats why you load midi of the sub and it follows midi..lol!!!
honestly this is the best way by far n easiest i think it is

wow what lame advice. . . tune the kick to the bass? he probly means you want to keep the bass drum tuned to the root of the songs scale that youre using. And i also love how he cant even just say the term 'Sub Bass' at the end of it. you gotta wonder sometimes. . .
BlackMetalFan910 2 years ago
@BlackMetalFan910
nah he's actually right. You can tune the kick drum to the bass tune of the song. Of course, you want to keep the bass drum tuned to the song scale too, but whatever baseline you have, the kick drum should not clash with it. And I mean, the whole 'sub bass' thing, I don't think that shows a lack of expertise, I don't use the term 'sub bass' and I've been making beats for close to a decade.

What he's talking about is when you have an 808 kick with a lot of sub base. in the 30-to 50 hz region and the key of your song is two low and has too much bottom end in that region as well. what will happen is that there will be alot of rumble and muddiness which will ruin your mix . because the kicks and base will over power the whole mix instead of just occupying the low end. a good idea is to roll off these frequencies using EQ or bring the mix up a couple octaves. Nice explanation scott
gene6ix 2 years ago 2
no not octaves.. say you're root note is in E and the 808 hits too low to sound good when you've got it tuned to the song, and you dont want to use a 5th or anything you want the 808 on the root, if you transpose it up to G or an A or something the 808 will then hit at a higher note that hits harder on speakers since a super low bass hit can only be heard on a super powerful system
spongah 2 years ago
Thanks for the response. Im a little confused do you mean the key of the song? so if the song's key is in E and you program your 808 kick to fall on a low E it won't be picked up on most systems whereas if you transpose the 808 up to a G or A the kick will come out clearer?
gene6ix 2 years ago
I'm saying IF you're on E and the 808, when tuned to the song, is to low (I dont know if for a fact it's too low at E, this is hypothetical).. then if you transpose the song up a couple keys (like mr storch said) it could make the 808 hit harder on a better note..
