In this episode, we dive headfirst into one of the most talked-about topics in music — the 440 vs 432 Hz tuning debate. Is there really something magical about 432? Does it actually sound warmer, more natural, more “in tune” with the universe? Or is it just another internet myth that refuses to die?

Join me as we explore the history of tuning standards — from ancient instruments and orchestras all the way to modern recording studios. We’ll look at why 440 Hz became the global pitch reference, what role physics and perception play in all of this, and how different tunings can actually affect a mix, an instrument, or even the way you feel music.

Whether you’re a producer, a musician, or just a curious ear — this one’s going to tune your brain in all the right ways.
