Hmm... dont know if I agree with this, tho I am a Tunelab 97 user
myself. First off, I havent used any Pocket PC program so I am not
speaking directly to a comparison of those. But I have after some years
of experience with ETD's found that I can tune easily as fast with them
as with out.

Its interesting really, as I used to think otherwise. Yet I have found
that the mastering of ETDs follows some of the same paths that mastering
aural tuning did. One does get faster with them... over a period of
years, not just months. And one does easilly fall into that same pitfall
of looking for too clean a resolution, this time with a visual twist.

Actually, for real bonified big time pitch raises, I get a faster job
done now with the  ETD then without.

Still, I remain generally careful to use ETD's in such a manner that my
tunings are very much ear dependant. Dont want to loose my ability to
navigate in the dark as it were. :)
