Peterson AutoStrobe

[Brian Trout]

I tend to agree with Jim B. on this one.  Nothing beats the ability to do a
good aural tuning.  I've been messing around with Tunelab, trying to get it
to tell me where my inconsistencies are, and believe it is helping me to be
a better tuner.  But if my computer crashes, and I'm just starting to tune,
there's no panic.  I just do it the same way I've done it hundreds and
hundreds of times before.  Aurally.

No disrespect intended.  Just some food for thought.

Best wishes,
