    hi,
    i had done two beats in my life in which i couldn't find a tune of the main sample / tune my instruments to the main sample .
    im stuck with it for the second time, i tried tuning the instruments adding/subtracting cents for hours but i only end up seeming its in tune. then i play scales and something is clearly off cause it seems to me like only 5 notes "KINDA" work for my ear ... leaving me mindfucked .
    the sample says its in Bb (after transpose i did it should have been an F), yet its a note that sounds to me like its out of tune when i play it over the sample .
    the fruity's edison pitch detector detects it with marking like 4 different notes leaving me helpless lmao ( that shit never helped me find the right notes high key ) pun intended

    i have no idea about the Hz tuning stuff so maybe the solution is easy and im a dumbass, let me know fellow audio sex lovers :3
    THANK YOU :)

    little snippet of this "sample" im talking about :


    first beat i had this issue with ( you can hear a dumb detuned rhodes chord at 0:59 i tried to sneak lmao
    please dont mind this beat )

    I can't hear your 2nd audio file because you haven't provided open access to it.
    Your first file 'loop idea1_14.wav' is a drone in C Mixolydian mode (i.e., F Major scale played from C to C)
    But your file is sharper than standard tuning.
    So maybe you ought to retune the file by flattening it a few (some?) cents until it sounds in tune with C.

    The OP wasn't going to get a precise answer like that from me bending my guitar stings. :wink:
