is there any way to find true pitch of the kick...
...any tips?

one way:
Temporarily tune your kick up +12 semitones (1 octave), then fine tune until it sits harmonically with your bass. When you find the sweet spot, subtract 12 semitones from the final pitch.
so if you boost it +12, and then find it sits well harmonically at 11.34, set the final pitch to -0.66 (11.34-12).
Another way:
Slap a nasty distortion on your kick to introduce new upper (audible) harmonics. Tune. Take off the distortion.

hi guys...thnks for th euploaded kicks..
i have a quick question... some of these kick are 200ms and +...
I was wondering if somebody could forwrd me the steps for cutting or fading the tail of these kicks either with Wavelab or SoundForge...
I am trying to fade it out so that the kick is no longer than 130 ms..mybe 120ms..but each time i do that it looses its power...
i am pretty sure i am doing something worong over here.
thanks again!

... does anybody uses Kontakt from native instruments for kicks ??...
..i use it for kicks , snares , percussion where
you can add many instruments in different channels while all of them remain in the kontakt channel and can eq or compress them all together from the cubase ...
.. any comments about this program ?
maybe i use it wrong ,, i want to work with battery too...
if anyone have a suggestion .... thanx |

yeah i use kontakt, not for kicks though, i use it for bass.
i never use samplers for a kickdrum, i always tend to import it to an audio track. |

ive always wondered , why some people rather insert the kick sample directly into the audio channel, instead of using a sampler to further modify the sample via envelopes, filters, or midi quantization , velocity and other modulation... i use battery for that and im not trying to make u think as i do, but i dont understand why not use samplers. can u explain it further. u think samplers mess up the sound of samples in some way?
