In that case, it's a pure stretch: i.e. the tempo is slowed down by a factor of 0.996 to achieve the pitch change.
I also have an unpublished version of that track transposed from the key of Em to Dm; that was a pitch change preserving tempo.
- criddell 2y agoHow did you determine 7 cents was the correct amount?
- kazinator 2y agoTrial and error. Guitar meticulously tuned to concert pitch, with attention to the 12-15 fret area, then compare against versions of the track slowed down by all available factors in audacity from around 0.993 to 0.998. (The stretch tool doesn't take more digits, stupidly.)
- lightedman 2y ago"Guitar meticulously tuned to concert pitch, with attention to the 12-15 fret area" When you need to pay attention to anything outside of open string, fretted 12th, open harmonic 12th fret (and fretted 24th if you have a 24+ fret guitar) for intonation, it's time to get the guitar to a luthier for setup maintenance. Something else is drastically wrong in the setup.

- kazinator 2y agoWhen you're deciding between a 6, 7 and 8 cent pitch shift, using your instrument as a reference, you should pay attention to the notes you are using, no matter how confident you are in the intonation.
