So I've spent hours and hours going through so many different mastering chains on my master channel, changing compressors, eq's and everything you can think of both on the master and kick channels I had. Still I could not get a sound that felt professional to me. I had seen and heard many times about tuning your kicks, however I felt like anytime I tweeked kick samples my sound always got muckier. But, I finally gave in after watching a recent video from my heroes Dada Life.
Now, I disclaim that this will not make everything you do sound amazing, but this has reduced the amount of work it takes to make a sample sound good for me almost ten fold I would say. One other tip would be to try Dada Life's Sausage Fattener plugin on your kick as well. I guess I owe Dada Life a lot!
Quick Outline for Tuning Kick on Ableton 9:
Pull up drum rack with a kick playing on it's own channel.
2. Insert a 'Spectrum' from Audio Effects in the browser.
3. With the kick playing through the Spectrum look at the wave form produced, it should look like a hill.
4. Pick out the top of the hill and hover your mouse over it. be precise.
5. A box will display by your mouse telling you the frequency and also the 'note' of the frequency, e.x. G#1
6. Use transpose function in the drum rack to change the pitch of the drum in steps to either the tonic or dominant of the key of your track and 'detune' for even finer tuning. e.x. I hover the mouse it says G#1 and my song is in F, I set transpose to -3 and my kick should be at an F now.
note: In my short experience I've found you don't want to be transposing a sample more than around 4 or 5 steps max, so find a different sample that is closer to being in key, or ideally already in key!

note 2: experiment using this technique on snares and any other percussion you like.
Happy to answer any other questions you might have or direct you to more learning materials related to the subject!

EDIT 4/4/13- There's tons of good advice in the comments below and different methodologies explained. Sounds like a consensus agrees that ideally a sample should already be in key requiring no transposing, as suggested per my first note (unless you want dissonance).
