Is it as easy as just converting a song from 440hz to 432hz?

It would help though, but I don't think it will be the change one expects.

We need musicians who actually tune their instrument to 432hz to have a real 432hz experience.

If I were Goebbles Satanic ancestors I would even do something with audio output devices which only allow distorted music.

So to be sure you should make your own music set based on 432hz.

This needs deep research though, with all revelations lately this is definate something to take serious.

I agree with you completely. I'm a semi dedicated musician who is working in this direction. I play in a chamber orchestra and have put some thought into this. For string pieces it's just a simple matter of tuning down a bit. Not a problem. But organs, pianos, harpsichord, brass, wind ect are not easily tune-able to 432. So this is the reasoning behind why big music institutions would never switch.

But there is no reason why we can't create and perform music in whatever frequency we want. Other musicians I've talked to mentioned A444hz as another popular tuning back in the period. The only argument I've encountered (other then the obvious logistical nightmare involved producing non-tuneable instruments) is this math dilemma scholars like to throw at me about the space between notes. It doesn't make sense to them so they obfuscate.

444hz is the bridge that resonates with both 432hz and 528hz. I use 444hz a lot in EDM production.

But how do you know software drivers or even hardware speakers aren't made to screw your 432hz experience?

Because I am a music producer/sound engineer. And I use reference monitors that cost 500$ a pop. I don't have the same software you do. My whole set up including software is thousands of dollars. How do I know the consumer grade software and hardware arent made to screw with that 432hz experience? I don't and they probably are.

The body effects/tingles I get on studio hardware/software playing in 432/444/528hz is greatly amplified over consumer grade experiences in my own testing. However I still do get tingles on consumer grade equipment it is just not as powerful. A good pair of reference headphones(studio headphones) is only like 150-250$ pretty cheap and a really good investment.

I know and as a musician you should be able to feel if it's distorted on software or hardware level.

But it works the other way around. Are you able to feel music in 432hz you play on mass production speakers has been distorted or uppitched on purpose on sw or hw level?

It is more that the conversion is lacking. When recording we are going from analogue to digital then back to analogue through your speakers. The cheaper the speakers the less accurately they will be able to reproduce the waveforms. Do i think they have to do anything on purpose to cause this effect? Nope just mass production will do it. They also put in built in EQ on all consumer grade equipment. So rather then your EQ being flat and controlling it purely through software/hardware. There are built in EQ settings you cant adjust right in the speakers.

Not to mention if they did something to fuck with 432hz it would fuck with there annoying stress inducing 440hz. It is more or less just better speakers = more perfect/powerful waveforms. The built in EQ's could maybe be used to enhance the 440hz effect on cheaper speakers. This is why reference speakers(no built in EQ) are the best.
