Guys, I called a store. Aparently, the tu-80 works like the tu-15. They
have one. I'll be checking it out. Randy

I sure would like more description of how the TU15 works, and is it just for
electric and acoustic guitars, or, like the Boss tu12, can it do bass?

Hey there Randy!
I have 2 completely different methods of tuning perfectly!
Although I don't possess 'perfect pitch', I have 'relative' pitch.
If there is something even the slightest bit out of tune, I know it, even
sooner, and more accurately, than some of my friends who actually have this
'mysterious gift'.
Both of these things, however, are man-made!
The first is a tuner made by Boss. It's called the T U-15. It tells you
by means of a series of beeps, when the particular note you're tuning
reaches the
correct pitch.
It does this by playing the beeps in the same pitch as the string/note that
you're trying to tune! This tuner cost me o55 sterling.
It is a little complex, in as much as, it's got several buttons on the
front surface. But, with a brief period of sighted assistance, you can
learn the layout.
The features include a button which will play the note of a specified
string you wish to tune. This is adjustable with a pair of up and down
buttons. You
can adjust the pitch by individual 'cents, or set the tuner to 'bass' guitar
mode. The last feature is a series of open tunings, these are a little
trickier to set-up,
and quite frankly, I've only been there with sighted help.
Nevertheless, the bloody thing is somewhat of a Godsend!!!
My second nugget of information is a tuner which actually tunes the guitar
for you!
You probably don't believe me, but I kid you not!
This little marvel is called the Stringmaster Robotic guitar tuner. (see
the address below).
It actually turns the tuning peg for you. Admittedly, there is a knack to
it, but it is so incredibly accurate, I can't fault it!
Here is the website:
http://www.actiontuners.com/
Again, just like the other tuner, it also emits a beep when the correct
pitch is reached. It cost $49.00, and for an extra $15 you can get a
transducer pick-
up, so you can tune acoustic instruments without an internal pick-up.
I honestly think that this was a small price to pay for an age-old
problem, and although both of these tuners aren't ultra simple to use, it's
a hundred times
better than pfaffing around trying to tune an instrument, that if truth be
known, is actually impossible to tune!
Good luck,
Mike

Here's a question a little off subject I guess. When recording falt top
uitars, ho2w does blind person withot perfect pitch tune the instrument?
It's not alwys possible to have sighted person to read electronic tuner.
I'd appreciate any suggestions. Randy

Hey Phill!
That's just the way that I'd do it!
Some people really get bogged down with tech crap, so much so, that on
occasion I've been afraid to move, in case of ruining the bloody
producer/engineers handy-work!!!
But, admittedly, I've had four mikes on me at the time...

Well, when miking up an acoustic guitar, I personally place a mike
pointing directly at the fet boards, somewhere beyond the 12th fret.

Where are you placing the mike? For acoustics, I often have to
move the mic around for the best response. Often closer to the bridge
will give you a bit more top end, but sometimes you lose some of the
fullness. In my previous post, I referred to a technique called Ortf,
where you use two mics in a stereo pattern. I use this for guitar a
lot, and it sounds great. Bassically, you have two mics crossing over
each other so the capsules are 120 degrees off axis to each other, and
about 6 inches apart. You can do this with a T bar on one mic stand.
Hope this helps.
Kurt

Gordon,
I definitely like the C3 for vocals. It just seems to
record the acoustic guitar too dark. Maybe I need to use an effect or
do something with eq along with using the C3?
Thanks to all for your suggestions!

I'm really surprised you wouldn't like the c3. If you
are looking for a little more edge, you may want to try the audiotenica
4330 (I think that is the model number). Also, believe it or not, the
behringer b2 pro has quite a nice top end, and it is cheap in usual
behinger fashion.

I know there have been mic discussions here
before and I can't remember what the suggestions were. What would
people recommend as a great mic for mic'ing guitar? Is there one out
there for less than $500? I've tried the Studio Projects C3 and, though
I get a wonderful quality of sound, I'm looking for that little extra
punch. I also have a Shure Ksm27. Is that a better choice? Is there
one I don't have which would be even better?
Looking for ideas.
Thanks again!
Laurie
