All Kit are Band-Aids

TBC: My problem with the thread and the OP is not personal preference. Had he said "I really like music tuned to X Hz" well, that's fine, show examples and we can discuss.

That's not what he's doing. He's attributing a choice (440Hz) to having vague problems, using words he doesn't understand.

• discordant
• harmonically rich
• recording frequency
• The Nazis, really??
  

So without saying "mind control" he's referencing a Nazi mind control conspiracy theory (see link I posted, above).

Here's a prime example of the bs:

Someone developed an app for streaming in 432, but so far none of the designers/hobbyists have realized the problem and gone about designing a interface for digital or analog playback

You know, if I was smart I would have replied with :
"Oh, yes, Tidal has that. You can stream 432 if you use the app and select "Master quality streaming."

Serious question, what instrument do you play??

My bad, yes, it is a tuning frequency and anyone involved in recording would/should know that the instruments being recorded should be tuned to 432 as it i harmonically richer than 440 which is discordant, as proven by numerous musicians in the YT video link I provided.

Hahahaha, BS.

To all of it.

"Harmonically richer" - Please, in what musical or audio theory can any frequency be richer than another?

By the way, do you know who came up with the term Conspiracy Theory? Those who are behind all the deceptions,

Cite your source.

Let’s see, you got the dates wrong, you attributed 440Hz to the Nazi’s, you claimed it had an effect on recording equipment (it doesn't), you used "discordant" wrong  and now you want to claim it’s’ "harmonically richer?"  Do you even know what that means?

Hahahaha.

Also, OP, you used "discordant" wrong.
The entire purpose of having a tuning standard is to ensure instruments are manufactured and tuned to the same frequency.

Now had you come in here arguing keyboard temperament from the baroque until now, then we’d really have something to argue! Hahahahaha

@twoleftears

I was confused at first, and no. The conspiracy theory he’s espousing has no relationship to recording equipment. He means the tuning frequency for A above middle-C.

Greeeeeat, so now in addition to spam and snake oil salesmen we get global mind control conspiracy theories.
440Hz was introduced in Germany in late 1800’s and endorsed by American Federation of Musicians by 1917. The Nazi party was not considered active until the 1920’s.

Also, 440Hz is not a "recording frequency." It’s a tuning frequency. Has nothing to do with the electronics. Honey badger don’t care if you tune to 432 or 440. Modern recording equipment does as good a job with Western music as it does music around the world, which not only isn't tuned to 440, some, like gamelan groups, have no  standard at all. Each group is tuned separately, and those instruments only work for them. There’s nothing about this tuning which stresses out electronics any more or less either.
