You can stack up multiple effects, the same way you can with instruments, but the best part is, because they are simply being used as effects, you can load in whatever instruments you like on the same channel and enjoy Reason effects on instruments that might never have employed them before. In our workshop example, we load in a Native Instruments Absynth instrument to run through the Reason Effects Rack. You could run VSTs in Reason before, so could have enjoyed this combination, but certainly not running within Ableton Live!
4. The Reason Rack Plugin will now appear as a standard instrument (as circled). Click on it (in this case the Open icon in Live) and the Reason Rack should appear with all instrument options available as shown.
5. At the moment the Reason Rack Plugin is not showing all of your instrument and effect options, so hit the Browse Instruments icon to reveal the main browser for Instruments, Effects, Utilities and Players.
8. The drum instruments are there as well and, as with the synths, you can record notes into Live or whatever DAW you use, triggering them as normal devices. But the Rack Plugin also has some other creative tricks up its sleeve.
9. You can also load in other Players, so here we have the Drum Sequencer making up a sequence of Kong Beats, within a Live Clip. Now when you press play in either Live or the Rack, the sequence of beats will play.
10. You can play multiple instruments together in one instance of the Rack by simply dragging them in. Each will automatically be sent to the Main Output of your DAW. You can see this on the top I/O Window.
IMPROVEMENTS Other reason 11 improvements. We ran through the rest of the Reason 11 updates last month, but essentially there are new effects and lots of tweaks to the workflow features such as audio editing.
14. You can assign the Combinator rotaries to control different parameters on the instruments within it, so here Rotary One is changing the tone on a drum pad and 2 is controlling the filter on Europa, all in Live!
17. Chain effects together as one massive effects rack. Again, all of these effects will apply to the Main Outputs of your DAW, but you have some routing flexibility too (which can be increased using a Combinator again).
Preference verses tuning frequency
A higher mean score shows a frequency that was liked more. Changing the frequency has a significant effect. (This was statistically confirmed using a Kruskal-Wallis test, p
Fernando, you send a powerful message about sonic frequency and light, but when you do so with the claim that humans are dumb as fuck, it hurts your cause. you are calling out to the lower frequencies of these humans rather than their higher capabilities, which you may not see but are equally real and present. just not so in this dense dimension. PLEASE, be nice ? isnt that the point of telling people to switch to 432 anyways? its something thats gooooood for us.
I finally adapted a tuning method that works better than what I did for years. If the room is a constant temperature and the Guitar is soaked in that room long enough to be at room temperature also, I tune the string to the desired frequency and then bend the string 3 or 4 times as hard as I would during the performance, I continue this until the bending does not cause the notes pitch to fall at all, meaning I have gotten all slack out from around the machine shaft. I do this for every string and have seen my guitar stay in tune with out further adjustment for as long as a week of constant playing. Took me 30 years to figure that out. If temperatures fluctuate it will not be of much help, but in a stable environment it is awesome and works beautifully. I hate playing or hearing music out of tune. Thanks again for the reply. Try my method for stretching while tuning and let me know what you think.
Regarding the claims on the internet, the real basis to 432hz A tuning is that register shifts for sopranos and baritones make more sense particularly in the works of Verdi. It is also closer to the pitch used by most ancient organs etc. Scientific pitch. Basically, human voices are not generally designed to sing at those frequencies. It is only 8 cycles, but that just points to the knifes edge 440A tuning puts us on. So it is a health thing and performance issue although it can negatively affect the aesthetic of certain pieces.
You missed the point. If the notes in the true scale i worked to uncover referenced to the square root of 144,000 are used, then the two notes in the 400 hz frequency range are 425 and 451. 15 hz less and 11 hz more than 440. This might not seem like much difference, but the way the harmonics work with the math is the real evidence it makes a substantial difference, and the sound is the final proof. I can get harmonics to ring louder and clearer than with the A=440 with less effort. Thanks for the reply.
Boom. Those who have been conditioned to identify with 440hz would, it seems, obviously choose for the familiar. Evidence lies not in a human choice that is impacted by conditioning, but, to no small degree, in cymatics. Matter, existing as vibrations manifest in the physical, will respond more harmoniously to the creation of certain vibrational frequencies. This is science independent of the noise that is human conditioning.
Hi my name is Nate i live in the us, I have a question for you Mr. Cox, I am a worship leader in a church, we play a lot of songs and different styles rock, hip hop, contemporary, etc. all of our songs were written in 440, is it possible to take them all and play them in 432.
There is nothing stopping you playing with any tuning you like, provided your musical instruments can produce the right frequencies. However, there is no evidence that changing the frequency will make any difference to the perceived quality (as demonstrated by Hugo Fastl)
440 to 432 is a subtle difference. If there is something to the universal harmony thing, then pitch shifting would make it harmonious with the universe/planet, plain & simple. Everyone carrying on like a fat old lady is really weird.
Bizarre comments. Trevor has been clear that he is testing what people do before they draw their conclusions, rather than what they, perhaps, SHOULD do. That is to say, he is not testing whether a piece of music recorded with instruments tuned to A=432 sounds better or even just plain different to a piece recorded with instruments at A=440. He is testing practice, not theory, and not necessarily his preferred or recommended practice, either.
I used a variety of different frequencies for a couple are reasons. If I was to only use 432 Hz and 440 Hz I would risk subjects being able to guess the tuning being used. It would be obvious that the lower frequency sample in a pair was the 432 Hz example. The test would no longer be blind.
The work certainly could be published as a conference paper, there are not enough results to warrant a journal paper. Anyway, if I had published this in a scientific journal, none of you would have read this!
As I changed the pitch setting on my Snark, I inadvertently left the bathroom exhaust fan on. I was pleasantly surprised to find as I tuned my A string, I noticed it seemed to be more en-harmonic with the 60 Hz AC motor wailing away close by in the bathroom.
I do have perfect pitch, and realized after I converted a video file and uploaded it on Youtube that the pitch had been lowered and the performance was not representative of the original. Comparable to looking into a twisted mirror in the fun house at a carnival. It distorts reality. I took it off. If this was done in an analog format like a reel to reel or turn table the variation or stretching of the sound waves are spread over an infinite number of points so the performance would be similar to detuning a guitar . But if 432 is between notes on the scale referenced to 440 then you are hearing music, made up of tones that your ears have never heard before, assuming most all musicians try and play in tune as close as possible. Musicians know that off pitch notes sound awful. I could detect in my performance at the 432 hz digital conversion that the additional time added was not a continuous evenly spaced addition of points but a stretching of certain parts of the music so that it sounded very jerky to me , and took on the characteristics of jazz, in which you learn to lay off the beat and sound like you are behind the rhythm of the song intentionally. The pitch however in jazz stayed at 440 and the other relative frequencies were in tune also. So only the rhythm was affected not the pitch. I concluded that jazz was the first attempt before the easily manipulated digital media was available to alter the music in some way where it was not as genuine or a true representation of what our incredible minds and bodies can do when we attempt to approach perfection. I was the best baritone player in Florida my last two years in high school and my intonation and timing were integral to giving people goose bumps with an instrument not normally used as a solo instrument in front of the band. As my band director used me many times in that capacity, and people to this day remember the sound I attained. To go from a 440 a to the next relative note is 24.7 hz lower or 415.3 hz to get to the g#. Dropping it to 432 puts at a 1/4 tone or some other weird ratio that would be closer to some notes in Chinese music which does use 1/4 tones, if I remember correctly. I will not use it or listen to it because it sounded like shit to me. I believe it is Satanic. An abomination.
Wavelength is dependent on frequency, but also the speed of sound in air, which varies according to air temperature, pressure and the precise mix of gases that it comprises. Sound travels at different speeds through different substances. It travels faster in denser substances making the wavelength shorter.
What value for the speed of sound did you use? And have you tried adjusting the speed of sound in your calculations to see whether you still get whole numbers of centimetres?
