Baoli, Don't be afraid to change the curve. It's really not as complicated as it seems. I will include a copy of the post I just sent to Les Bartlett about the same thing. The author Bob Scott sent me a great "how to" file because like you, I was afraid to do anything too. I hope my description copied below helps you some. Greg begin copied note; Les, First, Thanks for your post! I've been hoping you were keeping at it. I started using Tunelab after making it known on this list that i wouldn't use it until it was easier to use. I didn't use those words exactly but I did feel that while rich in programming, it was just too much for me to understand and use on a regular basis. That's when Bob Scott probably threw up his hands in disgust :-) and wrote the program to include a template to use in helping set your tuning curve. Being rather simple minded myself, I still use that today. For me it's easy, understandable, and quick. I almost never get sour results when I'm careful enough to get good measurements to start with. In your post below you mention pressing ALT + C. What does that do? Have you tried after measuring all the notes you want (I use all the C's) pressing F1? This gives you the graphical editor with some points on a blank page representing the notes you measured. If you then press the letter "T" you will have a template tuning curve superimposed upon those sampled notes you had at first. All I do at that point is to pull down A0 (the left most black square in the curve) down so that it's where I like it and I pull C8 up to where I like it and I'm ready to go. Note: you must go into the options page and set the kinds of intervals you wish to favor like octaves, double octaves, fifths, and the like. This is found with the OPT button in the graphical tuning editor (F1) window. In the options window I have checked; single octaves, double octaves @4/1, Other intervals @5th 3/2, Inharmonicity at breaks, Auto save on every move, Force handles at breaks, and auto A4=0 . You could try these settings or choose your own. The reason I mention these is that different settings will have a different looking display in the graphical editor wndow. Once i have the measured notes and the template up there I drag A0 down until the green square that is at the end of the bottom parallel green line is over the first black square of the high treble curve. I leave that there and go to the high treble or C8 and drag that up so that the treble template line intersects as many of my measured "C" samples as possible or I will accept equidistant from the line. Try it this way and tell me what you think. I find quite acceptable results if I'm careful about measuring in the first place. I also stop the strobe (or try to) on every note. Mind you I did not remove my ears and put the in a box until I was done either. I think if you use this method it will give you a much better regard for the program. Greg Newell P.S. I found all this out from Bob Scott writing a lengthy e-mail describing all this stuff in much better detail and understanding. I will try now to find it and send it too as an attachment. I you have an attachment you'll have no problem figuring this out. If you find a big attachment with this e-mail, That's it!!!! me P.P.S. I can't find it but perhaps if you wrote directly to Bob Scott, he may still have it. baoli liu wrote: > Hi list, > > I begin to use Tunelab this week,here is a beginner's > question. > > In the tuning file,there is only three tuning > curves--Average,RPT exam and another one used to be > modified. > > Being a beginner,I am not experienced to modify the > curve,so I think it will be more easy for me to share > other tuning file(curves),such as the files from > RCT,SAT,or private collections > > Is it available? > > Thanks! > > Baoli > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
