I don't know...lol
 
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.

 
What do you think the 435 is, if not a frequency?  Where is this hover over?  In the tuner?  I'm not trying to difficult, I'm trying to understand how you come to these conclusions.  How can one discuss pitch without reference to frequencies? You did see the thread is called "Tuning to 432Hz" didn't you?

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..
 
 

 
Following you around?  Mine was the second post here.  Who's following whom?  All I did was point out that you were not correct in your statements - something you don't appear to like.

the guitar rig plug in is fairly easy to read,,, just go to tuner.. theres a knob called "reference pitch"
drag the dial to 435.
 
youll then have all your strings tuned down a half step if you follow the scope.
whats so hard to understand about that ?
 
 
not correct in my statements ? are you joking ???
that its not easier for me to sing to a tuning a half step lower. ???
 
you are absolutely out there man.
 
my post had nothing to do with you...but like always...you cant help yourself..you see one of my posts and your hands start to shake....then you begin taking low shots anyway you can..
 
you have no self control at all.
 
ive asked you multiple times now to not quote my posts or interact with me but you cant help yourself..
so yes...mind your own business and don't interact with me and this never even happens.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A couple of things this tuning theory seems to ignore:
 
1. It changes according to air pressure and relation to sea level.
2. Tuned melodic pit instruments (marimba, vibraphone, bells, etc) are set by the manufacturer and the current common standard is A=442
 
No matter what the theory or the preference, tuning is relative to who you're playing with and what style and instrument you're playing.
We have a term for those that demand to play A=432
We call them flat.

Personally, all I care about is that all the instruments I use are in tune with each other. So any VST or hardware that is out of tune with what I already own can never convince me its so good I would be willing to rebuy everything just to match it.

OK so how do i go about recording softsynths at 432 Hz?   What if the softsynth doesn't have that parameter?  then what?

Pitch wheel envelope?
 

aglewis723 OK so how do i go about recording softsynths at 432 Hz?   What if the softsynth doesn't have that parameter?  then what?

Wouldn't that be a better question to ask those people that convinced you to tune to that nonstandard? Once they tell you how to tune it their way, then record it the same way you always have.

Although a lot of synths have a way to define the reference pitch (sometimes hidden in a configuration or options screen) you could use a pitch-shifter and set it to roughly -0.324 semitones (assuming an equal temperament relationship of course ;p).
 
Hope that helps,

Having 435 Hz represent A is not the same thing as tuning down a half step. A half step below A is Ab and the Ab below A 440 is 415.30. Sorry, Chuck; I really appreciate your presence on the forum, but jb101 is right on this.

nevermind.
 
Well maybe it will help you I don't know. 
Here and you can read on page 66.
 
 
I wouldn't tell many that use capos that "transposing" is the solution either.
Many reasons to change tuning. "Can it be done?" is either known if it can be and how or not and why not.
