ETDs & Pitch Corrections: Verituner

[Andrew and Rebeca Anderson]

Bill,
The Verituner does measure automatically, not always quick enough 
(esp. in deep bass) to keep up with an aural tuner.  When the "I" is 
full it has completely measured the note.  If you move on before it 
fills up you don't have a good inharmonicity reading.  Mind-you, I 
don't wait much for it on the pitch-correction pass.
