Are Hz and cents/semitones readily convertible to and from each other?
Is there a formula?
Sir, this is No Stupid Questions. You can’t just ask a question so advanced that I literally have no core concept what you’re even asking.
Questions for this sub are like “Should I drink bleach? Is it safe?”
The answer is no.
Your question…uhhhhhh…
It carried that risk in my view because i know so little about frequencies and pitch and hz and all this stuff so for all i knew, it could have been the same as the ratio of SchruteBucks to StanleyNickels
TIL there’s not a question too dumb for this sub, but there IS a question too smart.
Given a note, ex. A4 is 440 Hz, moving up an octave, or 12 semitones, is doubling the Hz. You can figure out the Hz from the base note by multiplying it by 2^(x/12) where x is the number of semitones you want add.
Showerthought: What’s the step between a C and the C# one octave higher? A Baker’s Octave.
I’ll show myself out…
Throws piano.
Showerthought: mf is mezzo-forte. ff shouldn’t be fortissimo, it should be fezzo-forte.
Question is not answerable without knowing the tuning system and reference frequency for A4.
