Dear Brian: While it's very important to learn how to tune aurally, it sound like you're already experienced enough to have learned ther are alot of difficulties trying to survive on aural skills alon've been worth every penny (SAT III is around $1600 now). Either get a used SAT II, or spring for a new SAT III or the RCT (approx $800 software plus the cost of a PC or Mac laptop). The SAT III and the RCT are great tools, especially for pitchraises and relieving the stress of feeling "how the @#??! can I get a decent temperament on this PSO!!??" when you're really crunched for time. Don't even consider any of the other products out there (except maybe TuneLab, which I know almost nothing about; it's inexpensive shareware). Best wishes, Patrick
