Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to retune song audio?
To retune song recordings means shifting the entire audio track up or down by a precise frequency interval, measured in cents (100 cents equal one semitone). In Song Surgeon, when you retune song to A440, every note in the recording shifts simultaneously so the track matches standard concert pitch, all without changing the song's playback speed.
What is the difference between a song's tune and its tuning?
A song's tune is its primary melody—the sequence of musical notes you hear and hum along to. Tuning refers to the exact reference pitch frequency the instruments were aligned to when recorded. A song can have a clear melody while sitting 40 cents sharp or flat. When an entire song is out of tune fix options inside Song Surgeon allow you to automatically detect tuning of song files and correct that global offset.
