Hello Everyone,
 
I know there is another post regarding the theory of this, but if I wanted to record in 432Hz, how would I go about the "detuning" needed to achieve 432Hz in regards to softsynths?
 
Thanks,
Adam

Some synths have  a detune facility, but I truly think this is pointless..
 
Unless you are having to track new parts to a piece recorded to A=432, don't bother.
 
It is pointless.  Audio (and the laws of physics) does not care about integers, or the names that we apply to it/them.  It only cares about ratios, and they will stay the same, regardless of the starting point, or base level.
 
Different "tunings" or "intonations", where the ratios vary, are interesting.  This current, strange internet phenomenon of A=whatever is a distraction, and meaningless.
 
Sorry if that sounds harsh.

Actually this is not true at all.  There is a major difference in feel with the slight tuning change.  Check this out:

There is no standard for tuning a softsyth. It is up to the programmer to implement the feature if it exists at all.

Isn't there a way to detune the final mixdown then?  

 
Export your 44.1kHz file at 44.92kHz but don't tell anybody?

It is true.
 
I would love it to not be true, but it is.
 
It is a nice video, but who is to say that it's not the room resonances that produce the more pleasing tone?
 
Or that particular guitar?
 
There are so many reasons..
 
This is a dead horse.  Flog it as you will.

Dude, he was playing the same guitar in the same room.  

Oh god, if we're not careful, Mcq will start agreeing with me..

I know..
 
And maybe the room's resonant frequency matched that of A=whatever.
 
We can't all record in his room, on his guitar.
 
Maybe my guitar sounds right in my dining room at A= 434.
 
Maybe yours sounds good at A=666 in your toilet, dude.
 
I think you are missing the point..
