Awesome post Reza! I was just reading about this and also the regenerative effect of 528Hz the other day.
Retuning guitars is easy enough, but now I want to figure out how to retune all of my synthesizers, samples and soft synths.
I'm serious. As musicians, obviously most of us on RT are affected by music in some way, and it would be great to make the experience that much more organic/ spiritual.
Ok that's about as hippie philosophical as I'm going to get on the matter, but again, I'm dead serious. There's a definite difference in the two clips that they use as examples in the video. By playing the 440 loop second, it emphasizes the increased tension/anxiety that seems to be caused by the 440 tuning. Intriguing to say the least.
 
Dude, very interesting! I wonder... Hey, didn't Dime detune a bit from 440?
 
Great read. Thanks. Has anyone gone down to 432 Hz here or know of any recordings that are?
 
Life changing post. I'm all in to 432! F those Nazi 440 soul destroyers
 
So, if I tune down a half step already what the Hell am I doing to the world...? Good or bad? Should it be 1/2 step from 432 - or will that stop the expansion of the Universe? :confused:
 
I had read something about this years ago and made the switch on a few guitars. It can be a hard sell trying to explain this to a group of dudes ready to jam though...
 
Interesting... I watched a couple other videos on 432 Hz and I found them easier to listen to.

I just checked a couple tuners and an iPhone app, all of them can change A from 440 but won't let you go to 432. What I found even stranger is one app has 16 fixed settings like 430, 431, 435, 436, 437, but totally skipped 432. Conspiracy, or am I just unlucky with my tuner purchases? :confused: Anyone know of an iPhone tuner app that does 432?

Edit: nevermind, found Tuner Pro Lite, pretty good app.
 
I've been in Drop B flat at the 440hz for a while.

I will now try A at 432 for a bit to see.

I could feel the difference in the video.

The 2nd video is really cool too with the sand.
 
Curious...does that mean there'll need to be intonation adjustments?
 
very interesting......fucking Nazi's!

For whom the Bell Tolls is in concert pitch.....432.

Just out of curiosity, how did you figure that out good sir?
I'm going to have to throw that on LOUD and disturb the wife now! :lol: :LOL:
 
Yes Dime tuned down.
He tuned halfstep down and then 30 cent up.
You can read it in the book Riffer Madness.
The topic is very interesting.I tune down a halfstep as my standard tuning.
I really need to try this
 
440 A sounds better to me. I prefer 442 A... Try it!
 
I just played "Lay it Down" in 432Hz tuning and it was awesome.
