Evidently they thought it was close enough for jazz as it were. Like I said tho.. the graphs part seemed more as an aid to seeing general tuning tendencies then anything else. >Did you relate that to a resasearch to phase effect in octave tuning >(like in unison tuning ?) > > Actually, tho I did very well indeed... I and no one else there had much time to do anything else then to finish our assigned tasks in as short a time span as is possible. In order to score high, you needed every bit of the two hours alloted to raise the pitch 2 cents, get it stable and fine tune. I know some may scoff at that... but I would just say to them... go and try and please these guys in an hours time. They stop you after 2 hours... but they dont look in on you to see if you've finished early...so they wont be biased. Its just that they require a very precisely defined tuning and it takes time to execute it well. >I had a little training lately myself, (concert prep) and we worked a >lot the tuning of the attack of tone, the energy level, projection, >and the "elasticity of tone". > > Please describe your experience for us then. :) >I actually can't absolutely not listen to any partial while tuning >unisson, nor octaves for that matter. > > Me neither... I think its both a blessing and a bane at the same time. Sometimes it would be nice to be able to better aurally zero in on just one coincident pair then I can, other times its very nice that I hear the conglomerate so well as I do.
