I have to admit that since becoming fascinated with Virgils so called beatless octaves my tunings have stretched out significantlly. Getting three very clean sounding notes (4:2:1) is actaully pretty easy.. tho its still hard to stretch much beyond that. I tend towards just a tad wide on the double octaves... no wider then leaves them sounding "apparently" beatless. Combined with this unison approach I was on about with Don a while back gives a real nice "cling" to the total result... but its quite stretched compared to what I was doing a couple years ago. I havent found an easy way to get RCT or Tunelab to precalculate this for me yet... but then I havent spent a lot of time trying either. > When I first got an Accu-Tuner, I had the worst time trying to figure out > what it was thinking of when calculating for those octaves.
