Hi everybody,
just joined,
first post..but when i get past that 20 post thing I'll start a thread to share the study I've done on the money hungry Len Horowitz & BOTH sides of
the argument concerning his integrity,
i hope it to be an example of how to properly investigate things,
I've been fooled before (Drunvalo&Zeitgeist) & I don't take chances with Conspiracy Theories/pseudo-science any more.
Been following this forum thread for the last month, still haven't fully got through all 143,000 or so words (.doc word count) posted here but a
massive serve of kudos for Hawk, Bobby & Raphael/chi
(in all their manifestations)
-who are the ones who more or less kept this thread going in the right direction.
I literally joined 5min ago & B.Morrison is a pseudonym so just for backgrounds sake i hold a cert II in Music (Technical production) & I completed
3/4 of a cert IV Music (Technical Production)
I started playing piano as a child & now as an adult produce all kinds of music (incl. all dance/electronica) play guitar, sing, ukelele, perc, etc &
I have done some 432Hz conversions of my favourite music (bout 16hrs so far) & re-tuned/mastered my own songs.
But I delay no further i.e. to get to the point....
I have information to contribute pertaining to the method of conversion and softwares available.
I have sought a confirmation of my chosen conversion method achieving desired 432hz result, to no avail; considering all the presented methods
contained here (thread) I believe the method I have chosen to be the most accurate, details follow.
~~~~~~~~~+~~~~~~~~~
First check
users.abo.fi...
& Perform the conversion yourself [important-to see that what I'm saying is accurate]
To perform the conversion Enter
440 in F1 box
432 in F2 box
& read results of ST box for your answer in Semitones.
The answer should read: -0.31766653633429414
There are 100 cents in a Semitone i.e. 99cents+ 2cents= 1.01Semitones
Therefore the answer is also -31.766653633429414 cents.
For reasons I'll explain below I round this up to -31.8cents.

Deviating from the central point for a minute, the above conversion chart was written and provided by J.R. de Pijper.

I use "Sony Acid Pro 7.0" but any current version DAW should suffice.
E.g. With Acid Pro 7, Mp3 & Pitch Shift.
1) Insert new Audio track of/containing mp3
2) Right Click Select 'Clip Properties'
3) in properties window Look through tabs (multiple if Beat Mapped) and find the 'type' box
4) select "one-shot" from drop down menu
***as opposed to 'Beat mapped' or 'Loop'***
5)Find Pitch Shift (Semitones) box
6)As it Reads 0.000 Semitones, it allows for 3 decimal points of 'cents'
7) Enter -0.318 to shift it down 31.8cents.
I deemed it more accurate to Round up to 8 rather then leave it at 7.
Secondly,
to round up to 32 cents is a difference of .233346366570586 cents.
as opposed to 31.8 cents; a difference of .033346366570586 cents.
I figure the less of a 'round up' required to represent the data,
the more accurate.
With Integrity & respect
