hey yo, wonderin if anyone is able to tell me the key note of the bassdrum hits from the goldbaby tape 808 pack?

put it through mixed in key.

Oh... edit.. frequency analyzer and this might help you, see where the meat of the sound lies, disregard outside, tune.

Ouch, to beefy? Might just be good as atonal dude...

Just refernce the bass tuning thing and try n get em close if thier off, save the part of em you like and layer with something closer to key, idk... best of luck dude!

Is there any pitch envelope on these kicks, lots of kicks slide their pitch, so hard to pin it down to one tone.

I just hold a bass tuner up to my speaker when I'm wondering about something like this. Usually does a fantastic job.

Never crossed my mind, but now Im gonna end up with one of those digi ones to shove in lines when Im stuck...

Noways is onto somethin hear... gotta get a collection of these things going...

I don't remember exactly what note they are but I seem to remember them being pretty well tuned (possibly to a G but don't take my word for it). If you can't work it out by ear run it through a tuner plugin, it should indicate it fairly accurately because after the initial attack they have a pretty solid tone.

The 808s I've used (sampled from an actual 808, but not Goldbaby) were 50hz, (chest frequency) which is around G#.

Import 808 kick into a sampler. Pitch it up a couple of octaves. Find the same note on a synth VST.

brilliant thanks!

pretty sure they are c or d

It just dawned on me, that if you REALLY cant get it, you could repeat a single grain of the wave, so that it becomes a tone again instead of a kick...

Def. be easier for alot of tuner plugins...

yeah the Goldbaby ones are tuned to G#

Also - not to state the obvious... but if you try a few methods, and are still having trouble locking the pitch, you could always email Hugo. He is a pretty nice guy and treats his customers well.

best advice here, lol.

When in doubt, ask whoever made it, everytime.

Goldbaby FTW!!!

They are in G# BTW.

yeah don't know about these goldbay samples but my experience with 808's and 909's the kicks are tuned to c by default
