Bristol_Jonesey Is this the right room for an argument? 

 I told you once   

No you haven't. :-)

 
Does anybody use the term "transpose" anymore?

No, you want 12-A, next door.

Good point, McQ.
 
This is why I didn't understand why tuning (transposing) guitars down a semitone was even brought up in this thread.
 
It was entirely erroneous to the subject matter, and only confused the issue.
 
I should mark your post as helpful.

 
So - who was right?
 
And who gets to keep these 440 tuna?
 
I'll have them...
 
I like fish.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Sadly, I couldn't think of a way of slipping "Love Hertz" into this post.

I just keep going back to this post

 Tuning down a semitone ( half step) gives a reference pitch of 415.3, not 435, i.e. you are tuning your guitar to e flat.
 
Those bands understood that.  You did not, obviously.
 
Geez..

 
tuning down a half step gives a reference pitch of 435 no matter how you look at it. my guitar rig plug in has a hover over that says "reference pitch 435" because that's what I tune too.
 
im not sure how we got in to breaking down strings in to frequency's..lol  you did that.
 
I think the bigger issue is,I started with a positive comment that said I tune down to 435 to help me sing better.
and when he said I disagreed, I called him on it and some how he turned that argument into frequency's.lol
just could nt leave my comment alone..he tried but he couldn't...i understand..anyone that does not agree with you is wrong in your eyes...lol
 
JB, you surely must have better things to do with your life than follow me around this forum ?
seems like you log in,go looking for my posts and get all excited.
i come here to help people out, not look down on people or disagree because i think im always right.
you think your always right about every little thing...always..
even to the poor guy who started this thread..
 
and how many times have i asked you...and even asked you nicely to leave me alone ????
but you cant.. you have no self control..you need to quote or reply to me in some shape or form..
see if you can understand this..i have no will to interact with you on this forum..none.
you offer me nothing important...this is why i don't reply to your comments...
 
i could see if i was replying to you in threads..but i don't ever even reply to you..lol
 
you have someone here saying please leave me alone... but you wont. you just keep pushing and pushing.
sound like a diagnosis ?
it should.
 
im trying to spare everyone from having to deal with this, and it could have been avoided easily if you just didt reply, don't reply..i don't really care.
 
good luck with that.lol
 
 
 

Hi Chuck,
 
Another way to look at it: Leave the tuner at A=440Hz and on "Chromatic" sensing and just tune the guitar strings:
 
-1 semi tone
Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb
 
or 
 
-whole step
D-G-C-F-A-D
 
 
 
 

Hate to jump in on such a nonsensical argument,  but for the record JB101 is correct.
 
The tunings and sounds of the geetars and vocal range being easier have to do with the physical range and workings of the instruments.  Not the actual pitch that is disguised as one frequency or another on a piece of paper.  I hope that makes sense.  Tunning down just makes it easier to hit higher "notes"...not higher frequencies...nor does it change how those frequencies sit against each other.  You just have a looser string playing a higher pitch.
 
And Bitflipper...what's wrong with VVocal??  You beat me to a great joke there.  Well played sir!
