Tuning an Instrument
Pro Audio has a built in Chromatic Tuner which analyzes any input
signal from the sound card and displays the intonation (in cents) on the
meter. The tuner automatically determines which string/pitch you are
trying to tune, so that you can keep both hands on the instrument while
tuning. The VU Meter shows how loud your input signal is; a strong
signal is essential for accurate tuning.
The Tuner can help you to tune any electronic instrument Ñ just plug it
into your sound card. With a microphone, you can also tune acoustic
instruments.
To Tune an Instrument
1. Display the Tuner by choosing
Tools-Tuner
.
2. Make sure the active track is using the soundcard you want to
tune as a source.
3. With your instrument plugged into your soundcard and turned up,
play a note.
The Tuner displays the intonation reading on the cents meter and
the name of the note you played between the three arrows. One
of the three arrows lights up, indicating one of the following:
• Up arrow indicates the note is in tune.
• Right arrow indicates the note is sharp.
• Left arrow indicates the note is flat.
4. Adjust the pitch if necessary and repeat for the rest of the pitches
you need to tune.
