Seriously out of tune
I could not find a way to make this display the correct pitch. Some of the controls dont seem to work, or else I cant figure out what theyre for. Ive got a Peterson Strobe right here handy, but I wanted something in my computer that was easy to use, so that I didnt have to reach for anything else. Unless the creator of this is willing to show us how to make it display the right pitch (neither the right note name, nor the correct actual pitch -- it shows me to be wayyyy sharp when Im actually holding the Peterson Strobe still. (its calibrated daily with a tuning fork, which in turn has been checked for accuracy with many references) The microphone I use for this is not one of my expensive ones, but an inexpensive desktop mic by Blue. When using it for recording, its hard to tell the difference between it and most mid-grade studio mics. Im quite sure the mic is not the problem. Besides, I have many tuners associated with other software, and they all report the same pitch as the Peterson Strobe. This one is the odd one out. Its broken.
Its a nice idea, and I think it will be well worth the money if the maker will fix it. (Written on January 19, 2012 for version 1.0.2)
