Re: [all-audio] Ascertaining Pitch/Frequency of Different Sounds
Greetings, I am aware the accepted (concert) pitch of 523.23Hertz is fifth octave c, some say fifth octave c is 517Hertz, I am also aware fourth octave a is 440Hertz, I guess you can find out other pitches / frequencies off the net but don't know how or where.

Re: [all-audio] Ascertaining Pitch/Frequency of Different Sounds
I know in Audacity you can find out what key the song you are playing is in but I don't know if there is something in that program to give individual notes. I use this when changing the pitch of a karaoke track. Most other editors I have tried just give a frequency which I have no clue about. so I like how it gives the note of the key.

Hi. I hope everyone is well.
