Trace Tuner Customer Service

Can't believe this isn't the top tuner app, perhaps there is a similar one that is more popular. Shows pitches for the past few seconds, excellent for voice training, learning the violin, or setting guitar intonation accurately. The only guitar tuner I will use; most tuners show you an average of pitches, which is inaccurate (guitars are sharp when plucked for example); this shows the actual sampled pitch.

This tuner is great for practicing long notes when practicing tone tuning and tone quality on a flute. The frequency spectrum option is very nice to practice the timbre of the notes, that is the strength of the overtones. I use an iPod Touch with an inexpensive external microphone (one used for phone calls over the internet), and this seems to work just fine. I have tested it when playing long notes and it work quite well once it locks into the fundamental frequency (for the tuning option). While I have an electronic tuner, it only tests one note at a time, which makes it cumbersome to practice long notes while playing the various scales; it is also much bulkier, so not very suitable for travel. You are likely to have the iPhone or iPod Touch with you anyway. It is good that you can set the notation and pitch. If the iPod Touch does not have a microphone (either build-in or external) the program will not start.
