Also:
* "Concert pitch" of A=440Hz is not universal.
* 12 tone equal temperament is not universal.
* Analog playback systems often run at slightly incorrect speeds.
* Some instruments are difficult or impossible to tune, so the tuning will vary with temperature. Nobody is going to tune a pipe organ in a drafty church every time the weather changes.
* DJ mixes rely on playing tracks at different speeds to allow for smooth transitions between tracks of different tempo[0], which changes the tuning.

- alternatetwo 2y agoYou could do that 20 years ago, but now it sounds way better. You won't notice live anymore, but it's still audible. To be honest, pitching them up with them sounding "higher" is actually better most of the time with House, Trance ... Dubstep/Trap ... keeping the original pitch is generally better.
