This may not be as useful now that Repeater can purify you to the highest possible frequency, and even emit specific ones to/at/in... stuff.
But regardless:
Note: "Filthy" music is not deserving, or may not be befitting of a retune in my opinion.
Anything that employs non-sine waves can't be retuned, such as 8 bit chiptunes, because those waves are impure.
To retune music, you have to use Audacity.
Audacity has a Retune by Hz option, which is vital to all of this.
1. Download audacity and install it.
1a. To export to more formats, such as flac, you will need FFMpeg. Audacity themselves has detailed instructions on how to get and install it.
But if you're ok with mp3, and certainly it has "worked" decent enough, you can proceed.
2. Load up a music track.
3. Ctrl+A or Cmd+A to select all of it.
4. Go to "Effects -> Change Pitch"
5. There are two methods:
5a. Simple method: Input 440 Hz in the left box, and 432/444 Hz in the right.
Do not input something like 528 Hz directly. It will make it sound extremely bad.
If you wish, press on High quality retune.
My mentor's music collection hasn't suffered from not having it ticked, but it might help. However, it makes the process (much) slower.
This will change the music's sound.
Each one of the 12 Western notes has its very own "sound" associated to it.
Whatever how it ends up sounding will depend on the song, even on particular files.
A few times, you get the results of the complex method.
5b. The complex method. This is the one my mentor used:
Above the retuning boxes, you will see text that states: "Starting frequency: 385 Hz (F#4/Gb4)" or similar.
That's your starting note. Uncommonly, I have observed it's wrong. But that's rare.
Now, visit pages.mtu.edu/~suits/notefreq444.html or pages.mtu.edu/~suits/notefreq432.html . Edit: You will need to use Wayback Machine now.
Look up the note in the table. Write the corresponding Hz in the right
In the example, and for 444 Hz, it would be 373.36 Hz.
*insert color here You will notice most retunes don't move the percentage box, below the retuning boxes, too much.
My mentor has said most songs don't need more than a 15% change.
Now your song is retuned.
6. Export. Go to the Export menu.
You can choose any/most format(s).
For lossy (compressed and losing data) formats, MP3 is a traditional choice.
For lossless (uncompressed/can be compressed, but not losing data), there's FLAC.
If you chose MP3 or flac, there are preset submenus right in Export...
7. Set the export settings to the highest possible.
In MP3's case, set it to Constant bitrate, 320 kbps (kilobytes per second).
Audacity's default is 192kbps, and that removes all frequencies above 16000 Hz.
With 320kbps, it will keep up to 20 kHz.
Most files have a 44.1 kHz "sample rate", the half of which, 22100 Hz, is what it can actually be meaningfully played. (This "half" is called the Nyquist effect.)
Most speakers and headphones, likewise, top out around that range.
Youtube downloaded files and some others have a 48 kHz sample rate.
In FLAC's case, set it to 24, or if possible, 32 bits.
-------To retune to chakras etc.
Need to take a respective frequency from Lunarsight (search lunarsight frequencies), and apply this algorithm pages.mtu.edu/~suits/NoteFreqCalcs.html to it to produce notes.
They are likely to be in the A range.
Multiply or divide by 2 to discover more notes in a range. For example, A4 is 444 Hz, A5 is 888 Hz, A3 is 222 Hz, and so forth.
