I love the TU-12H temperature, I love atonal music, based on the temperature similar or equal to this tuner's temperature. I dislike to tune an instrument without a tuner, it's hard to do and takes much time. Some instruments can't be tuned by tuners, using a tuner is impossible to tune e.g. a (grand) piano ... you need to mute strings during tuning ... "hell". When I was a guitarist some years ago, tuning a guitar wasn't pleasant ;). Gxtuner seemingly isn't made to tune the high frequency instruments. To find a tuner that works is hard to do. Tune the instrument by hearing, assumed you don't want to sync synth. When using natural instruments and synthetic instruments, then the tuning is one of the important parts of mixing the composition ... only trust your hearing and spend much time to fit the temperatures of one instrument to another. It's painful, hard to do, the opposite of fun :D. I hate tuning instruments, I'm not good in doing this, but people always are surprised that the MIDI gear does fit that good to the tuning of the natural instruments of my recordings. Amen. In the early days I tuned guitars by standard tuning (Guitar at 440 Hz only) using a Korg GT-6J (I still own it and it still should work), later until today I'm using the Boss TU-12H for all kinds of instruments with the limited pitch range from A = 440 to 445. There's no perfect tuning, but a temperature that fit close to the feeling and even if you find a tuner that fits to your feeling regarding the temperature, it might not be able to provide the wanted tuning < or > 440 Hz. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
