    Changing all music to 432Hz? I think you really have to clarify what you mean here, because this question SOOOO makes no sense.

    Are you talking about kbs or Hz? If you are indeed talking about kbs, 320 is the best quality that you can download in MP3’s. Unfortunately with MP3’s you are not able to increase the kbs of a download. Quality of the track can’t be changed once it is downloaded. The quality is determined by the person who submits for download. For quality downloads, I would suggest a DJ pool such as MMP3, beatport, traksource, and many others. You can never be assured of the music quality of stuff you rip offline or get from your friends collections.

    Hope that helps,

    LMAO It’s pretty sad that these guys don’t know what A=432hz is…

    Tuning is subjective…

    Perhaps their ignorance is bliss.

    And certainly….
    Not sad to be in a state of pure bliss.

    Without wanting to get into that whole 440 vs 432 Hz discussion, my point remains the same.

    The question makes absolutely no sense, framed the way it is at the platform it is framed at.

    I am gonna be betting there are droves of DJs (and most likely many practicing musicians) who are not aware of the “healing powers” of music that uses 432Hz as base-frequency. And there certainly is more than a little controversy about it’s legitimacy among those people who DO know about the difference.

    Regardless of the reason for wanting to do this key-change, it would have been nice of OP if he had:
    a) described what he was trying to achieve
    b) given a short explanation of what the relevance of 432Hz was, rather than assuming everyone knows it
    c) posed a more precise question, like “is there a way to change the key of my tracks permanently by x amount/x frequency-shift (or something)”

    @DJ Vintage ….i was about to call you out for talking as much rubbish as the original poster, then i googled 432Hz & read a little bit about 432Hz tuning.

    So it turns out that it really is a thing!

    Probably not relevant to DJing software, but Yep! ….definitely a thing!

    🙂

    Nothing wrong with challenging me if you think I might be wrong. I am most definitely human and as such I can fail too 😀

    Like you, I suspect that many if not most of our readers are not aware of this “issue” and it seems to originate mostly in “healthy nature” propaganda, featuring the fact that Tibetan sound bowls are tuned to 432Hz rather than 440Hz and such.

    Other than that I agree that it is probably not relevant for DJ-ing or DJ Software, then again, it might just be the difference between full and empty dance floors!
