is there Tuner?

[Radim Kolář]

Is there built in tuner in cakewalk? Don't you think it will be handy (if not implemented yet) to add it to Views -> Tuner ? I would like to have good and tested "reference tuner" to test my instruments and other tuners.

I don't trust digital tuners much if there is rich sound they might display wrong information. So i would like to have another tuner which can measure  and play notes. Because we have spectrum analysers in EQ so I guess all necessary engine for making tuner is already programmed in.

You could have just kept quiet.

Rather than rehash the discussion, I choose to link a similar thread which already contained such information as

It doesn't.

You can download the Meldaproduction FreeFX Bundle, which includes an excellent tuner plug-in. It can do polyphonic, and even has a MIDI out function so you can do pitch-to-MIDI with it.

Get a strobe tuner for your phone like the Peterson iStrobesoft unless you need it in Cakewalk directly for some reason. It will also allow you to do slight cent offset tuning that is nice on guitars in some situations. It will accurately read down to cents. There are adapters available to plug directly into the phone if necessary. 

Or spring for an external strobe unit.

I didn't know about strobe tuners. There is a video explaining them. He is right, digital tuners lags and it takes a while to lock digital tuner to a note. I dont trust them much, thats why I wanted to have tuner in cakewalk, something tested by people with good audio skills.

Here we go again. I actually agree with Steve. Everything was well covered in the last thread. And the one before that and the one before that.

What do you think a software tuner on a computer would be?

[Radim Kolář]

If tuner will be easily accessible directly from menu, not hidden in VST, it will be used by more people and better tested. I have several tuners in ipad and every displays different number, they also lag about half a sec.

In Cakewalk, VST's are accessible via the FX Rack menu.

Have you tried the free Meldaproduction tuner I suggested?

Where’s a good casserole when you need one?
