Frequently Asked Questions
How do I tune my 808 to my track?
Find the root note of your track's key. Use this tool to get its frequency in Hz. In your sampler or synth, pitch the 808 until its fundamental matches that frequency. In Ableton, use the Transpose or Tune knob. In FL Studio, use the note in the Piano Roll.
Why does my 808 sound muddy?
Common causes: 808 is out of tune with the key; kick and 808 are competing in the same sub frequency range; too much sub on both kick and 808. Fix: tune the 808, high-pass the kick below 60 Hz, use sidechain compression to duck the 808 on kick hits, and EQ the 808 to focus its energy around its fundamental.
What frequency should my 808 hit?
The 808 fundamental typically sits between 40–80 Hz depending on the note. C1 = 32.7 Hz, C2 = 65.4 Hz, G2 = 98 Hz. In trap music, 808s are often pitched to the root, third, or fifth of the key and slide between notes chromatically.
