yeah I guess my main concern/question was should I tune my bass sample (a sample of a c5 note) before I throw it into the 16 levels???

what id do: try it without tuning it first, if you cant seem to find any good (in combination with the rest) sounding notes, see if retuning lower or higher (less than a semitone of course, i can elaborate on why, but its not important) yields better results..

No doubt, thanks for the info guys!!!

damn i always thought... actually im pretty sure that 1 equals.....

ohhhh 1, i thought you was saying +/- .01...

yeh ur right

sorry to confuse y'all.

i always step by increments of .50 to find the tune. and .25 for drums -you'd be surprised what sounds good with my ears
but i make it workr

+1


what about instrument programs?
thats what I use mostly for basslines..

A lot deep house producers tune their kick drums and basses... So I picked on that too. Seems to make sense sometimes depends on the track. Your ears wont lead you wrong just compare your track to other produced tracks and somethings will become apparent to you.

For instance I was watching a documentary film on an artist I like. The film was about the recording of an album. On this album I always wondered how did the producer get the vocals to sound so raw and intimate on a particular track. Well I discovered that the producer had the singer use a regular ole SM58 mike in the booth. Duh! No crazy effects or crazy plug in. The Producer just tossed the Neuman mic and gave the singer an SM58 and let em rip. The end results on the actual CD track is amazing. Simple thing not totally crazy.

Something as simple as tuning a snare or kick or bass can make a rhythm track seem much tighter and sound phatter. Simple!

I hope they tune the kick, they gotta do something to change up that same kick sound they use in every single song (with the same kick pattern too)
