what i ment was that someone could record f3 -> a4  like this,
every tone or intervall should be about 5 seconds long in the recording
a4        
a3        
a3-d4 
d4
d4-g3
g3
g3-c4
c4
c4-f3
f3
f3-a#3
a#3
a#3-d#4
d#4
d#4-g#3
g#3
g#3-c#4
c#4
c#4-f#3
f#3
f#3-b3
b3
b3-e4
e4

so that would make a 2  minute recording....


what do you people say about me learning with tunelab? 

what if  tuned  the first intervall in the process 100 times and checked with tunelab.. 
and did that same for all intervalls in the process? would that be a good idea?

yeah i suppose a recording with different test intervalls and so on... that would be a 
great thing to learn from,,,


someone could record when they make a temperament,, at the same time they could 
tell what they are doing and make that lesson a 10 minute mp3...!!!!

that would be great

thanx
