Tuning The Kick Of A Full Kit Recording

Howdy,

I've recorded a full drum kit and I want to tune the kick to go with the bass. But do I just tune the kick or do I need to retune the whole kit?

Or is this just a bad idea?

Andy

Bad idea.
You should have started with tuneing the kick before you recorded it.
Anyway, try pitchshifting it and have a listen.

I've pitch-shifted my share of kicks in my time. Why not? Consider drum replacement: if swapping in a totally different sample (of course tuned differently) can work, then why shouldn't pitching up or down a kick work?
