I get a sense of what >sounds "right", and when I hear the sound not right, I check which note could be the >problem. Sometimes it a slight unison problem, sometimes the problem is the upper >first octave, sometimes it's the lower third. I haven't been able to figure out exactly >which note is off, so I have to kind of experiment.
