Well, the ability to digitally re-tune an ancient instrument using the kludge I suggest on a single track would be a way to integrate it into a modern ensemble. It might even be possible using some of the real time pitch correction plugins available today to record an ensemble in real time with the other musicians listening to the retuned old instrument on a pitch adjusted track in a sound isolated room. That would be more or less the opposite of global tuning.
I am pretty sure you do not have to act as if someone is insane in order to provide the insane with a product they desire--the political climate and discourse in the US currently is a pretty good demonstration of this. It is certainly not good business to confront anyone, sane or otherwise, with your contradictory version of the truth. That is something you probably should reserve for people who you care about as people rather than customers. Everyone has the absolute right to their own beliefs, but that right does not mean that you should believe them, nor that there is no objective reality.
Yeah, agree.
Well for me, I don't believe in anything about tuning.
It is just sounds and vibration we can hear.
But I see this massive defense of 440, and people go out calling peaceful people names because of this.
I like 440.
All my music is in 440.
But that doesn’t mean it is the only solution to tuning.
Another point I will add is that a feature does not have to work on everything to be a working feature.
For this kind of thing, it is the people knowing what it is, that will use it, and they know if it works on their synth or not. Or they will after testing.
And to retune the one and “holy grail” instrument you use, to make that fit into the modern world is what’s wrong whit modern world.
If you cant capture it as it is, and make music around it afterword it is a big shame.
