MessageOne of the things Tunelab impressed me with was their willingness to
let you try it before you buy it. I heartily recommend you do just that. RCT
seems to not have such a program, don't know why.

I looooooooove the spectrum graph on the Tunelab--really makes those
top-octave unisons easy (well, easier). Does RCT have that function? I
dunno.

Anyway, I was so blown away by the Tunelab that I couldn't and still can't
see why RCT would be worth so much more. People talk about intuitive usage
and such; maybe that's so, but I think the Tunelab documentation is pretty
darned good and the use of the device is just a breeze.

Hope I don't sound like I just bought stock in the company: It just seems a
fine product, to me, for me, at a better price.

  Well, the PDA of choice is still being researched extensively by myself.
I've done alot of comparison shopping of PDA's and I'm still looking.  But
that's really isn't the issue.  So far, I've heard a lot about RCT and
Tunelab.  Many more poeple seem to prefer RCT, though.  I can only imagine
that it is going to be a slightly better program then TuneLab because of
it's userablity, functionality, and price.  But is the price difference
REALLY worth it?  If I'm able to get a good, stable pitch-raise from TuneLab
that is pretty much indifferent from RCT's pitch-raise then why spend the
extra money.  I've been tuning about 4 years and I've established a pretty
good aural routine that I like.  I really just want the ETD to help with
pitch-raises and hard-to-hear tonality.  I'm not really looking to change my
way of tuning, at least not yet.  So, again, is the extra money for RCT
really worth it?

    Dave,
    In my opinion there is no comparison.  RCT is by far the way to go!  You
won't regret it.  Dell is offering really great deals on their PDAs right
now.  I don't know how long they will have such good prices.

      List, hopefully this summer I will upgrading (in my opinion ungrading)
to a Pocket PC ETD.  I have some experience with TuneLab, and absolutly no
knowledge of the Reyburn Cybertuner.  I'm sure this has been a subject of
many discussions, and I apologize for the repetition of this topic, but what
are some of the advantages/disadvantages of one or the other?  I would like
to find out some of your opinions of these programs and what might your
recommendations be.
      I will be testing and playing around with these programs in the
upcoming MARC in Pittsburgh, and I would like to know a bit more about them
so that I don't look at them unknowingly.
