    i wanna add my experience in electronic music.

    Take the kick, transponse by +12 semitones, now should be a lot of easier to identify the key.You can compare the kick pitched with a sinewave coming from a synth (Sylenth, massive etc.) or a piano with clean low end (Ezkeys, Truepianos, Kontakt...)

    hope it helps

    Best of all, make your own kicks with waldorf attack, then you can make them as fat as you like and make them for whatever key you want as well. :)

    Theres a great video from rick snoman of dancemusicproduction thats all about drums and in one of the parts he shows you how to make kicks with waldorf attack.

    Never bothered with one shot samples since i saw that and bought attack a day later.

    Its a bit difficult at first but the control it gives you over your drum sounds is well worth it.

    If you do get to see the video, he had some trouble with his apple magic mouse, hes using the older version and its much easier to use a mouse with it now in the new version,i have no problems on my pc with a trackerball and the new version of attack.

    awesome trick mostwest, thank you. soooo, instead of layering a sub over it I can tune the Actual kick sample this way?
    willum, yeabut not all my projects would fit waldorf attack or kickr.
    I have a couple projects I want to go try this on, and that ringy hat is about to get the same treatment. my DAW can alter pitch easy.. brb lol

    @Graf : The actual point of the video was to offer an alternative to kick tuning - as tuning may sometimes bring artefacts (or mess up with the attack of the sample). As usual, if it sounds good, use it :)

    I tend to sample a transient from another kick, and then create the sub out of Bassizm or Sonic Academy Kick then compress the two together. As Jay said though, if it sounds good - it works :)
