For example, if you have a very short, quiet note on A3 followed by a longer, louder note on C4 Audacity will probably detect C4 but if the second note is the same volume then Audacity will probably detect A3. The frequency of the detected pitch is given in parentheses. The letter (with sharp ' #' / flat ' b' suffix as required) indicates the musical note and the number indicates the octave position of the note. Estimated Start Pitch: Attempts to detect the pitch of the most meaningful note at the start of the selection.Any of the above conditions can be waived if you get permission from us.If you know both the key the original recording is in and the key you want to change it to, change both the Pitch 'from' and 'to' values.
