OP User ID: 394451 Croatia 03/17/2008 08:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Of course, not. I like many kinds of music. The most types I like is drum'n bass, hardcore and rave. I played at home by changing pitch from 440Hz to 432Hz and there is really a difference. 440Hz, which is the music created in last 60 years, is very agressive when listened longer time. But music in 432Hz you can listen hours and hours and you will enjoy and won't feel nervous. |

This to let people think and feel in a certain manner, and to keep them a prisoner of a certain consciousness. [link to www.wam.hr] In 1896, A=439 Hz became a recognized pitch standard in Britain. In North America, meanwhile, the pitch of pianos and orchestras not only remained unstandardized in the first decades of the twentieth century but continued to creep upward. International conferences for the purpose of standardizing pitch had thus far been unsuccessful at drawing in every country having significant orchestras and opera houses. New to the twentieth century was music broadcasting, with its ability to juxtapose for listeners’ ears the live or recorded performances of orchestras in concert halls from any part of the technologized world. In the 1930s, the broadcasting industry made a push towards total standardization of concert pitch in Europe and North American. Success was achieved at a 1939 international conference held in London. Presumably as a compromise between current tendencies and earlier pitch standards, it was agreed that the international standard for concert pitch would thenceforth be based upon A=440 Hz — very close to the Royal Philharmonic’s A=439 Hz of dubious derivation. The B.B.C. began to broadcast the A=440 Hz tuning note, which, for the sake of accuracy was produced electronically: The B.B.C. tuning-note is derived from an oscillator controlled by a piezo-electric crystal that vibrates with a frequency of one million Hz. This is reduced to a frequency of 1,000 Hz by electronic dividers; it is then multiplied eleven times and divided by twenty-five, so producing the required frequency of 440 Hz. As 439 Hz is a prime number a frequency of 439 Hz could not be broadcast by such means as this. |

Quoting: OP 394451if you don't believe me, simply read the paper I linked to and you'll see that pitch _varied wildly_ over time & places - as high as ~ 450.hz at times through the middle ages finally it came down to 439 vs 440, NOT 432 and by the BRITISH/BBC in LONDON. the 'feelings' you claim are subjective, but keep in mind a tape recorder (most often cassette) naturally slows down as the batteries become weak - I've seen +/- > 10.Hz (while calibrating for tone decoding) |

OP User ID: 394451 Croatia 03/17/2008 08:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I know squat about music. Can the same instrument be tuned to 440hz OR 432hz? How can I hear a difference? Does it sound lower or higher or what. Can I listen to my favorite rapper, Brotha Lynch, in 432 and it will relax me? That'd be the bomb kidstain. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 264415Yes, you can. I listened trance at 432Hz and it is totally new experience. |

To see the rest of this article www.hinduism.co.za/anahata.htm When the note A is tuned to 432hz it can then be taken to lower and higher octaves giving the frequencies 27hz, 54, 108, 216, 864, 1728 etc. The note D also becomes 576hz which at other octaves is 9hz, 18, 36, 72, 144, 288, 1152 etc. The note E becomes 324hz (81, 162, 648, 1296 etc). 440hz is now the recognized or 'concert pitch' frequency and is used as the standard for tuners, tuning forks, music making programs and musical instruments. It is very close to 432hz and infact many old musical instruments are found to be tuned to this frequency. Most of the classical music was originally concieved at 432hz and it is only in the last 100 years that the pitch has been re-standardised to 440hz. To many religions the number 432 is more than just a musical pitch and the associated frequencies can be seen mentioned in the following texts. [link to www.mtvdance.com] |

Quoting: OP 394451as with most things it was done for convenience ..as it plainly states, it's much easier to divide to a whole number than a prime number (when all you have are /2 and /3 flip-flops) these days it makes no difference but back then flip-flops were built with discrete components so any added complexity exploded the cost/space/power consumption but most people cannot hear a difference between 439 & 440 (.25 % diff) - audio equipment and musical instruments were typically off by far more than .25 % - up to 10 times this or more ...but now in the digital age this is no longer a concern musical instruments vary in whether or how much they can be tuned - string instruments can be varied quite a bit while air instruments usually can't - in this case to lower the pitch the internal volume would have to be made greater - not an easy task if the desired pitch were higher it would be easier - taking away some internal volume by packing something inside (like putty) |

So all i need to do change music to this samplerate and then convert back to 44100 for playback. |
