ONLINE BASS TUNER HARMONICS MANUAL

An extensive manual on the science and art of drum sound and using iDrumTune Pro. Design, save and recall your favourite drum tunings and share them with the world. Understand the acoustics of drums in more detail, so you can identify which frequencies are excited and heard most prominently. Tune the resonant drumhead to make your drums SING! iDrumTune ensures that the two drumheads are working together, so you achieve rich sonic tones. Ensures that the drumhead is evenly tensioned, so that the sound decays with a smooth, even tone. Achieve perfected tom, kick and snare tuning quickly, accurately, every time. Pitch tuning helps you to find the perfect drum sound and overall tone for your drums. High and tight or low and powerful, the choice is yours. Easy! Make sure you are set at A440 or lower and your bass A is 55hz. Quite interesting if you ask me-īut if any of that’s of little or no interest, you can “just” ) get a clip tuner, or continue to use an App (I sometimes use piaScore’s built in tuner,) and go for it. What you may also want to investigate is that Equal Temperament, or what we use in most western music, is in fact quite out of tune, especially on any fretted instrument- Īnother form of tuning is Just intonation. What I like to do is tap the fork on the edge of the table, sing the note, tune the A on my bass, and then go from there. A on the bass is 55 hz compared to A440 on a tuning fork (or digital tuner,) which is 3 octaves lower.Ĭlassical training helped in this regard. Sure you can! I use a tuning fork and tune by ear. At the end of tuning the whole instrument up from the A, only ONE string is close to 4 cents off, and the boundaries of just-noticeable difference in human perception cap around 5C. Then you tune the D string off the A string, so it’s -1.96C, and the G string off of the D string, so it’s -3.92C (which compensates nicely for the tendency for G strings to go sharp!) and the B string up off the low E, resulting in net 0C difference and the E string off the E, resulting in the same +1.96C. You tune the E string off of the A string fifth, so it ends up +1.96C. You are right that the harmonics do differ a bit from the 12TET approximations, but it’s not off by much at all: the 12th and 5th fret harmonics are octaves and therefore 0C off, and the 7th frets are fifths and therefore only 1.96C off. This is literally how classical guitarists tune though, we tune our A string to a fork or electronic tuner and then tune the rest by harmonics.
