Aural vs. electronic again, was "Re: Another newbie question"

[David Love]

Bill:

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying.  If, after tuning the
temperament octave with an ETD (A3 - A4 in the case of Verituner), I am
progressing now down to G#3, I simply tune the note as indicated by the
machine.  I then quickly hit the octave G#3-G#4 to be sure.  If I am tuning
aurally, I will test with a third-sixth test or M3rd-M10, listen to the
thirds progression, listen to the octave, tweak, listen again.  How could
that be faster, unless misunderstand you?

Straight interval checks, ie. just listening for motion in the
interval in question, is faster. You're only listening to one
interval, not the series of two.
