Use another kick.

Seriously.

Kick samples are abundant, and life is too short to waste time tuning them.

you can use any software program that can change the pitch of the kick. for example, fl studio has this built in. or you can use a program such as xfer records - nerve. just drop the sample into nerve and then you can change the pitch.

you would want to change the pitch in order to put the sub part of the kick on key. so if the sub is mainly at 55hz, that would be an a note. if "a" is an off-key note, consider repitching the sub of the kick

i heard from somewhere else that tuning is bad for headroom or some shit ilke that idk

That makes zero sense.

If you say lower the pitch of the kick from 80hz to 30hz, then yes you will significantly reduce your headroom given that a 30hz waveform will take up more headroom. However, if you go from 30hz to 80hz you would increase your headroom.

Overall, don't worry about that. Just mix the track correctly and there won't be headroom problems.

ooh aright lol

Anyway i tried tuning with logics pitch machine to +1 semitone and the results were good everything fit perfectly but i loss a little bass but that wasn't an issue

just load the kick into an ESX24 instrument and tune it there (coarse/fine)
