"Two pass" tuning takes no more time generally than "one pass". First pass is "quick and dirty" and "second pass" refines the tuning. I've found that to be true for me..It takes around 75 minutes to do a rough pass and come back and do a fine tune. In cases where a pitch raise isnt necessary, it still takes me around 75 minutes! Can't figure that one out.
