This is a guide to be used in supplement with Gavin's guide in order to get more accurate results if you do not have an adequately accurate tuner. In order to attain perfection you will actually need to get your setup calibrated (much like you would if you owned a high end tuner), however this will exceed the quality of any tuner you have (unless you have a high end one, then it will be approximately equal)
What you will need is;
- A way to connect your guitar to your computer (if electric). Eg. DI, Interface, other input jack (not ideal)
- A suitable microphone (if acoustic only or otherwise unable to connect to your computer)
Install the following free software;
Windows
- AP Tuner http://www.aptuner.com/ftp/apmain/APTunerInstall308.exe
Apple Products (May not be free)
- AP Tuner https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/aptuner-pro-free-chromatic/id688111410?ls=1&mt=8
Google Android Products (may not be free)
- AP Tuner https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=aptuner.aptuner
The following configuration guide is working under the premise that you are using the Windows version.
1. Using the recording menu, open recording device and calibration. Select the appropriate recording device and the quality you wish to use. If you wish to calibrate, change the frequencies here.
2. Using the Note menu, select the tuning you would like to use (Guitar standard, Guitar Drop D, Bass, Bass Drop D).
3. Tune strings quickly with the rough guide on the right hand side, and then fine tune and intonate with the center interface.
From here you can play your notes and tune and adjust as necessary as per the existing guide.
Happy tuning :)
