I have a project that requires me to write in this frequency. Unfortunately from my searches on this forum it isn’t possible to master tune cubase to this frequency. Also, the vst instruments I use don’t seem to go to 741hz. For ex. Kontakt can only go up to 493Hz.
So, does anyone have any ideas on how I might be able to compose a piece like this? I was thinking I can just go ahead and write in 440 then convert it. Does anyone have any software/plugin recommendations that does this?
Or, how can I convert the rendered audio in cubase, maybe using variaudio, warp, pitch shifting ? Thanks for any help and suggestions.
I think I figured it out. For anyone who might be interested. You can calculate the semitones/cents required to pitch shift to any frequency. So for example, pitch shifting from 440 to 741Hz would require +9 semitones and 8cents. So in your vst just adjust your semitones and cents to that value to equal a pitch shifted vst in the desired frequency. Only issue, you’d have to do this for every instrument patch.
If anyone has a more accurate/faster way to do this please let me know.
Can you explain why you are required to write in this frequency?
Its popular in the meditation/relaxation/sleep genre.
So A is retuned to somewhere north of F sharp? How does that work? Genuinely curious.
lol… hope you’re charging them good.

yup, and that goes for any of the several other " Solfeggio Frequencies " . Once your A is tuned appropriately everything else will match. I remember reading something about tuning down to 432Hz being common practice in rock/live playing back in the day.
Just composed as normal, and pitch-shift your final renders. The customer is always right.
In guitar bands, downtuning is a way to make it easier for singers to reach high notes – but not to any particular frequency.
