Hi.

I'm doing some work for someone who wants to have everything in 432Hz instead of 440 Hz.
While recording my music, I've never really cared about frequencies.

So is there a way to change the frequency with a Post Plugin in the Mix tab or something?
Please keep in mind, that I have no idea about that, I'm a musician, not a mixer.

But maybe, I could learn something from you That would be amazing.

Thanks.

Name any plugins or whatsoever that helps to get the 432Hz for

 

Take the: PreSonus - Studio One --> Tuner²

Magical frequencies

 

Why not just google the procedure?
"how to change the frequency of a song to 432hz instead of 440 hz"
There's plenty of videos around, here's some:

Thanks for all the replies. The Tuner will do. I'm looking to do everything on Studio One Level, not to the finished song, exported as WAV.

@PulseWave helped me. Thank you so much. I'll try that. And also Thanks to @AudioEnzyme for taking the time for the screenshots!

I can, but the samples from Kontakt Libraries won't be affected by that.

 

Well they're actually video tutorials or how.to clips, not just screenshots

 

What about global transpose?

But instead to transpose midi AND audio.. freeze them first... then use transpose or tuning plug in....?

try, not that will cost you...

 

because it is highly doubtful that "everything" in a song "is 440Hz" you probably needed to reprase the question after thinking about what you actually want.

i am not tryingn to be funny here, it is simply not possible to answer this question.

 

@Obineg Yeah, I know. We're always talking about a range. But the videos screenshotted helped me. I'll check them out later.

Thank to everyone again. Wonderful board with lots of knowledge!

 

Have you ever seen a Technics 1200 turntable? You know, the kind with a +/- slider on the side which slows down or speeds up the track playing by changing the speed of the motor? Yes, electric motors run at specific frequencies.

When you slow down or speed up a record, the pitch goes up and down. This does not mean the individual mixed audio parts all lose relationship with one another. They all go up, and they all go down.

This is what happens when you change the frequency of an entire DAW project to shift upward or downward in frequency. "440hz" is what the fundamental frequency of key A4 is set to. If you adjust the A4 fundamental to 432hz, you are done.

Spoiler

The whole “432 Hz” thing gets completely mangled online because people misunderstand what “tuning” even means.

When someone says a song is “written at 440 Hz,” what they actually mean is that the note A4 (the A above middle C) is tuned so that its fundamental frequency is 440 Hz. That’s just a reference point — it doesn’t change the key, scale, or harmonic structure.

If you shift that reference to 432 Hz, everything simply moves slightly flatter — about 31.8 cents down across the board. The interval relationships between notes are exactly the same. The chords, melodies, harmonies, scales — all identical. The only difference is that the absolute pitch of the entire performance is shifted down a tiny bit.

So if you’ve got a C major track in your DAW and your synths, samples, and instruments are all tuned relative to A=440, you could retune the whole mix down by 31.8 cents (roughly -0.32 semitones), and voilà — it’s now “at 432 Hz.” You didn’t change the key, mood, or structure, just the overall pitch reference.

That’s why saying something like “recording in 432 Hz gives better energy or natural harmony” is pure pseudoscience. The math of equal temperament and harmonic relationships doesn’t care about which A you pick — it’s all proportional.

. There is no way this is not some half-assed attempt at trolling. This is Forrest Gump learns what to do with a tuning fork dumb.

If someone actually wanted to “convert their 440 project", all they’d need to do is globally detune by -31.8 cents or stretch playback by 1.818%. That’s it. The rest is just noise.
