Theory: Can anyone explain to me about the concept of 432hz?

[triple_seven]

I found out about tuning to 432hz and the effect it has compared to the standard 440hz frequencies. My question is. can that apply to electronic music production? From what im reading, it seems like tuning to 432hz is only something for actual instruments and such. But i was wondering if there was a way to just mix down tracks through DAW Sequencers to 432hz to achieve some sort of similar result... but then again, Im not too clear about what "432hz" truly is so im hoping somebody can elaborate on this topic in a simple way lol

I've read about this too. Generate a sine wave at 440hz, then pull it down to 432 hz. What feeling do you get? Personally, I do find 432hz to be a bit more "pleasant" than 440. No idea if that proves anything, it's just my own personal experience.

So, If you make A4 432hz, doesn't that also change the frequencies of all other notes? (Eg; A5 would be 864 instead of 880, C4 would be different, and so on). I'm not sure how to go about doing that in a DAW. For some reason, I'm feeling that simply pulling the master pitch down doesn't properly achieve that? But I may be wrong.

I'm sure this wasn't the first discussion in this forum on this, going to search through and see what I find. I'd be interested to hear an answer from others here too.

most of A=432 is hocus pokus mumbo jumbo

unless you are going to use just intonation or some other intonation scheme you will still be using 12tet (12 tone equal temperament), just as we do with A=440

the changes are subtle, the lower we go, the smaller the differences in frequency

	12tet a=440	12tet A=432
C	523.25	513.74
B	493.88	484.90
Bb/A#	466.16	457.69
A	440.00	432.00
Ab/G#	415.30	407.75
G	392.00	384.87
Gb/F#	369.99	363.27
F	349.23	342.88
E	329.63	323.63
Eb/D#	311.13	305.47
D	293.66	288.33
Db/C#	277.18	272.14
C	261.63	256.87

what we do get is a very close match to middle C = 256Hz, the much older standard, mostly used for tuning organ pipes
