[CAUT] IPod and Tune lab

[Porritt, David]

Jim:

What octave type are you using?  How much confidence do you have in your inharmonicity measurements?

As you and I have discussed before I turn mine off when I get down to the wrapped strings.  From there and south, I just go for smooth octaves and check double & triple octaves.

Subject: [CAUT] IPod and Tune lab

All,

I'm still trying to get Tune lab to work on my IPod. (I touch)  Here's the problem; when I take the readings for the Tune Lab on the IPod, then tune while comparing the tuning to both the SAT and Verituner the Tune Lab is 4 or 5 cents different at B2 (or around the break). Verituner and SAT are fairly similar. At A4 (A440) all 3 are dead on. Aurally I can't stand it either, so it's not just that the Tune Lab is different - it's just not right or I'm doing something wrong because friends that use Tune Lab on their PDA's end up with great tunings.

How can I get a good tuning w/o trying to tweak the specs??? Anyone know? I mean, with SAT and Verituner it's hard NOT to get a good basic tuning even w/o messing with it.

Thanks.
