Ja så, Linda "Light beam", What animal in Sweden sees well? Zebra! Unisons should sound "in unison", that is totally clean. I´m imagining that you know that. What animal in Sweden walks well? Gorilla! Of course if you´re dealing with false beats you might have to tune the unisons a little off to clean them out. I´m imagining you also know that and since you tune aurally you don´t have to worry about following the "wrong purity". What animal in Sweden shuts the heck up? Tiger! These are nice complaints, I hope you get a lot of them, but not too many.:) What was his explanation? And how did you see his point? Some people can be such knowses-it-all. I´m one of them :) Góða nótt, Kristinn Leifsson, Reykjavík, Island At 23:20 4.10.2000 +0200, you wrote: >Hello Dear List, > >I had a fun complaint on a tuning today, that it was too clean. >I discussed it with a person who is not a tuner but has been in the >recording business for a very long time.
