Phil O'Keefe Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I use an app from Peterson called iStroboSoft. It's basically a Peterson strobe tuner in app form. I have it on both my iPad and my iPhone, so if someone needs to tune while we're working in the studio, I just hand them one or the other and away we go. I like it because I can teach someone how to use it in just a few seconds, and it's very accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they do. https://www.petersontuners.com/products/istrobosoft/ Regardless of OS, it's ten bucks. IMHO, it's money well spent. They also make a strobe clip-on tuner too. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/StroboClipHD--peterson-stroboclip-hd-clip-on-strobetuner-high-definition I also have one of Peterson's now-discontinued VS-II hardware strobe tuners. I really like their tuners - especially their ease of use and their accuracy. They're very good for intonating your instruments too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The iStrobostomp can use the phone's built-in mic. Works great for acoustic instruments, and even an electric if it's going through an amp that's at least as loud as an acoustic would be. I've even positioned the body of an unplugged electric so it's touching the phone, and was able to get it to work that way in a pinch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeepEnd Posted September 27, 2020 Members Share Posted September 27, 2020 I have Free Universal Tuner by Dmitry Pogrebnyak (available from google Play Store) but to be honest I prefer a cheap clip on tuner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
