this is extrememly important info but utterly worthless unless someone posts a method of how to converty 440hz down to 432hz
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 179005


"440 Hz" and "432 hz" are just ways of saying taht the A note is arbitrarily set to 440 Hz or 432 Hz. Mjsicians call this "A440" or "A432". Since 432 is 98.1818...% of 440, if you slow the entire song down by that percentage, you will now be in a frequency which equates to A432 instead of A440. You can also change the frequency of a song by transposing it down a half-tone

Personally, I have tried to play the same piece with my strings set at both A440 and A432 (with a guitar, this is dead easy to do), and I cannot tell the difference. Certainly, if the same tunes were played simultaneously, I'd notice tha the A432-based melody would be a bit lower thatn A440, but I don't think ther would be any emotional tonal difference like there would betwween a piece played in different modes (like phrygian versus mixolydian) or in a minor key as opposed to a major key.

Anyway, if you want to convert A440 to A330, ther are a bunch of software aplications, as well as little hardware boxes made by Tascam which will work just fine. Most people, though -- as I mentioned earlier -- can't even tell the difference.
