If you produce electronic music, you already know how critical low-end tuning is. A kick that clashes with the bass can muddy your entire mix — even if your EQ and compression are perfect. That’s where Hertz Piano comes in.
This simple note-to-frequency reference lets you instantly find the exact Hz value for any musical note, making it incredibly useful when tuning your kick drums.
How Producers Use It
Match your bass note: If your track is in F#, use Hertz Piano to find F# in the 40–60 Hz range and tune your kick sample or synth to that target.
Layer with precision: Use the frequency chart to make sure your sub and kick layers don’t overlap.
Avoid guesswork: Instead of turning knobs and hoping, you’ll know exactly which frequency your kick is tuned to.
In just a few seconds, you can make your low end tighter, cleaner, and perfectly in key — all thanks to this tiny but powerful web tool.
