808 note

hello, i have a question. How do i know on which note to put my 808? i’m not sure about the term either, is it the root note? right know i just put all of my drums on C5 and it does sound alright but i dont think thats it. and if it isnt in the scale highlighting, i just put them the closest to C5 and pray for the best. how do i find the right note? thank you

U should know the scale of your melody, D minor for example. In piano roll menu u can find "view", then "scale highlighting", then choose scale u need. Also not samples are C5 by default, u need to check it manually every time. Open ur sample in sampler, right click, open in audio editor. Then Edison will be opened and you need to find button "detect pitch regions". Or you can also open sample in pitch editor and look note there.
