Just purchased Strobosoft. Why did I wait so long?

[Wolfeman]

Wow. It's well worth the $100.

I kinda stayed clear of the plugin since I own a Stroborack. I figured, "Why would I need something I already have?"

Well lemme tell ya, having a Petersen tuner available all the time while my PC is on is great. And it has every bell and whistle you can think of, but it's so easy to manipulate everything.

Much better than having to go run to my rig every time I need to tune.


If you don't own a strobe tuner, and don't have the cash for a hardware unit, you should seriously check it out.

the funny thing is that it was originally a free plugin that Peterson bought from JHC and then slightly developed from there.

edit: it seems you can still download it here.

I'm confused, is it standalone or a plugin??

StroboSoft™ 2.0 VST/AU Software-Based Strobe Tuner

You can use it as a stand alone program, or run it as a plug in. The $50 version only works as a standalone program though.

I want the rack so bad.

lame. i'm intrigued but i'm pretty much over paying $100 for a software tuner.

I'm pretty happy with http://www.aptuner.com/cgi-bin/aptuner/apmain.html
Ap tuner

It's standalone, which I prefer, because it works alongside your DAW and has 0 latency because it's not routed through the DAW.

It's more than just a standard tuner, though, so you do get what you pay for. It's especially useful if you do setups a lot, or have a lot of other instruments other than guitars.

I'm honestly tempted, I hate G-tune - it's always been ridiculously tweaky and often jumps between the note I'm playing and its upper octave (with multiple guitars, pickups, and even interfaces )

Is it both RTAS & VST?

VST. Needs a wrapper for PT.

Looks good, but for that much money the least you could expect is for them to support every platform.

Strobosoft has a few options to adjust to prevent this from happening.

So far it hasn't given me issues.

yeah I hear you. I definitely want it, that pricetag is just daunting for a tuner. I'll put it on my wishlist and get to it someday..
