if it sounds good, it is good. period. that said, often combining arbitrary samples sounds like crap since the chords/notes clash between the samples, so you might want to stretch/shift the pitch.

I don't really understand what the goal is here... mostly because I know
very little about music theory.  Do all the samples used in a track have to
have the same pitch?   What if you like how a sample sounds pitched up or
down?   Do you do this to your samples before you use them, or after - right
before you mix down?

Could anybody clue me in here?

Hey,

Does anyone have any handy hints for making sure all the parts in a
track are in tune with each other?

(apart from the obvious: "musical talent"!)..

A big problem I have is that some of my samples are recorded at
different sample rates and sometimes when I'm being lazy, instead of
converting the files to the right sample rate I just re-set the pitch on
the sampler to what I think it should be. This sometimes results in a
cool sound, but sometimes I end up with a track which sounds ok at
normal pitch but when pitched up on a deck things go a bit odd. my
assumption Is that I'm just not good enough at picking out the right
pitch (although I guess it could be that the pitch shifting on the
sampler isn't accurate enough..)..

Either way, I'd love a way to be able to quickly get things pitched
correctly from within Cubase.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Nick
