Change your music to universal 432Hz

sounds terrible

I disagree,but if your the high strung type who likes music thats tight and piercing well then 440hz is for you.

Any chance you could use audacity at higher bit rates than 128? It exports but I want to maintain the 256.

Thanks :)

I just converted Winter by Tori Amos as a test following the instructions provided. It seems to me that the conversion is not absolutely perfect.. However, it's still an improvement.
I play the original (440) version and the converted (432) version multiple times and without a doubt, distortion is reduced and sound quality is improved. But most impotantly, it feels far more natural.

Grant, could any of you who figured out how to follow the directions to convert and changed music,possibly upload a youtube video of a song before and after?Could youcopy this Winter song, your new version?

My sentiments exactly!

i dont understand this thread

when did the music change, and has it changed back?

Sure, I'll post here once I've got something put together... Just hang on to the weekend though if you can, I've never uploaded anything to the web before... no worries, I can learn it on the fly, I'm sure it's easy as. I'll probably upload something to youtube as I reakon that will be pretty basic.

In the mean time, have a listen to this:

I saw this guy live in Wellington NZ about 10 years ago... he can make his guitar sound like a couple of digery-doos, drums, ausralian wild life, all at the same time.
That's not the track at the above address, but it's still pretty good.

Extraordinary thread!!! And very important. More, more!

I want to hear Moonlight Sonata in 432Hz.

Interesting thread.

But it's not possible to tune my organ to 432Hz. The lowest it will go is 436hz.

I always play with the pitch of my recorded songs....you can get some startling reslts just moving the tone around.

You made an inadvertent point. Not all songs are recorded at 440Hz. I constantly have to tune my instrument into the songs I want to play to all the time.

Natures resonant 432 is not going to sound perfect, to humans. That's why humans changed it to 440 so it will sound like they want it to.

I'm a serious musician, I would like to get to the bottom of this, but what the hell about just tuning by ear until satisfied?

You seem amateurish, but the history of this is probably true. I'd rather .. you know. go the extra yard.

Does this have anything to do with Hendrix ' signature tuning down to Eb, also Guns and Roses did this on Sweet child O Mine. . .

I think bringing your guitar down 1/2 step does get very close
to this...

WARNING: As y'all test this out, realize that Nothing is more subjective than music. The PLACEBO EFFECT is king with music.

"Nature's resonant frequency"? ALL frequencies are valid; "loved by God" if you will, and 99.999% of the effect of music lay in it's musical CONTENT.

Ambient and meditation music is being made at 440, and It Works Just Fine, thank you.

The test of listening to the same track at two speeds Is Not Fair. The lower one will be relaxed and it also depends on the resonant frequencies of your speakers, the room and your location...AND YOUR EXPECTATIONS. In years of experience making and recording music, I Know that perceptions change day to day, even hour to hour. Some music sounds best in the Summer...

Another test would be to play some classical music piece (at same level of fidelity) and compare a modern recording at the slower speed with, say, an early 60s version by Bruno Walter at 440. Classical musicians are getting faster, more precise, tempos are UP (although experimentation is always happening too) and I believe any 60s version: pre digital age, pre mass dispursion of electromagnetic NOISE, will be more relaxed. Different. I miss the days of the analog environment...but Love digital, so...

Some super heavy hard rock bands are tuning down, some just a bit lower (flat), some to D or even C. (and the Roman Legion was vegitarian, barley gruel because they removed the teeth...) and they aren't doing it not for relaxing or "spiritual" reasons...

The Western World aint gonna change from a 440 standard, it's like English language standard, but local music (like in your seperatist survivalist compound) is free to change.

Ok, so I haven't kept my promise... I've not uploaded anything yet. I have been converting the occasional album though. All music resonates more, becomes easier to listen to and it makes my cheep PC speakers sound like an expensive stereo.
Also, I suppose it's obvious but the low notes are lower and seem to be a little more prominent. This adds quite a nice quality to voice.
Over all, I'm very pleased with the conversions. The only negative is tiny, almost undetectable audible artefacts that "pop" and "crackle" occasionally. But with most tracks I don't hear it unless I'm listening for them.
And OMG, you should her Edward & Alex Van Halen's "Respect the Wind" from the movie "Twister" (it play during the end credits) after conversion! And strangely, the power of the lower frequency notes in the unconverted version cause static like distortion on my PC speakers but after conversion, those notes are stronger and more powerful, yet my cheep speakers are crystal clear.
I definitely recommend trying this out, there is truth somewhere in all this 432hz hype.

Oh no, not the post.
It was me, I was the 3 432nd viewer..
cool, I´m a musician.nice thread..

Try this:

Audio Test Tone Generator

Tone Generator is a sine wave generator, frequency generator and signal generator that lets you create audio test tones, sweeps or noise waveforms using your computer or a PDA handheld. The full features list of this tone generator software follows but if you have any doubt about its suitability a quick way to test it is to simply download and install it. You don't need to purchase to download and it only takes a couple of minutes to complete downloading and installation.

Typical Applications

* Generation of test tones in radio and other studios for the alignment of levels.
* Calibration and testing of audio equipment or speakers.
* Tuning music instruments as an accurate reference tone.
* Demonstration of audio principles to students.
* Acoustics testing and equalisation.
* Quality control and testing of sound cards.
* White noise generator
* Audio band signalling.
* Hearing tests (under suitable medical supervision).

Features

* Generate sine wave, square wave, triangular waveform, saw tooth waveform, impulse, white noise and pink noise.
* Supports frequencies from 1Hz to 22kHz bandwidth (subject to sound card).
* Multiple simultaneous tones (1 to 16 tones can be created at the same time) (useful to create harmonics).
* Mono or separate stereo operation (ideal to create dual tones or 'beats').
* Tone Sweeps (Log or Linear).
* Plays tone or saves as wav file.

Tons of other good free audio stuff too.

The suggested transformations, will it imply also that the music is being played slower, at a lower bpm? This would't be right.

I find this topic interesting. As a violinist in my youth I've developed a sense of absolute pitch, and it is tuned to 440 Hz.

Incidentally, I recently found my old violin buried deep into a wardrobe. I discovered that it was just as perfectly in tune as when I left it there a couple of years ago... how odd is that? All four strings perfectly in tune, relative to 440 Hz ('A' string) as usual.

I just tuned the violin down to 432 Hz as an experiment but it sounds simply "wrong" right now for me. I'm prepared for the option of adjusting this perception though.

Interesting subject, changing our standard frames of reference!

I love you, thank you for this, i have been wanting to do this for a while, lot of work, but im sure worth it.. thank you.

the difference between 440 and 432Hz is exactly -31.7666536 cents. I just checked and although i tune my guitar based on A=440hz, i do not follow twelve tone equal temperament tuning to the letter. In other words, a string tuned to A1 isn't quite 110hz but may be closer to 111hz to compensate for the physical distortion of the humming string, depending on what materials are used and what type of magnet is used in the guitar pick up... I also doubt classical musicians use electronic pickups on their instruments, so tuning is greatly influenced by the environment surrounding the instrument by which the sound is affected during its voyage to the ear or the microphone.

Be sure and try these samples. Sooo much more beautiful and resonating linking deeper within the centering of peace. Darn those Nazi Operation Paper Clip guys.
