RCT

[Brian Henselman]

Ummm,

What ever happened to just tuning with a fork and our ears?  If a shoptuning
is all that is necessary, then shouldn't the TuneLab be more than adequate?
If you want a precision concert tuning, then what's wrong with aural tuning?

Please don't think that this is a "flame" against machine tuning.  It's not.
I'm just pointing out that by the time that a quality difference between
TuneLab and RCT is necessary, (and if you have the skills), then why not
just do it the only fashioned way, aurally?  If the environment is too
hostile for an aural tuning (ie the shop around power tools), then I'd think
that TuneLab should do the job just fine.

Just call me old-fashioned.

Cheers,
Brian Henselman
