1 Minute Ableton Live Tips: How to Tune Your 808 Bass

To tune an 808 in Ableton's Simpler using the Transpose knob, first activate Simpler's "Classic" mode and play a MIDI note hitting C on your keyboard to trigger the 808 sound at its original pitch. Monitor the sound with Ableton's Tuner (located in Audio Effects) and adjust the Transpose knob until the 808 sound is tuned to the desired pitch shown on the Tuner. Use the detune knob as well if needed.

some 808s are going crazy in tuner like one second it's in -30 one second it goes to +10 and other second it's -7, do you have any suggestion to how to tune that 808s?

[@turbo9wav]

Yeah just see where it lands/ends on. It’s okay if it does that, that’s the pitch env giving it its punch.

[@turbo9wav]

Also you can detune in Cents CT +,- 50

[@funkyfeeet]

bro my ableton doesn’t have a tuner. how can i do this?

[@turbo9wav]

what version of live are you using? you could also try the spectrum analyzer

[@yanto0o]

do the sample naming key matter? like 808 D, can i play that in c after tuning?

[@turbo9wav]

yes! that's why it's important to pitch it to the right note

[@ScouseHouseClassics]

I do this with all my bass and you run through a pitch vst and 9/10 says its in a different key.
