Acoustic guitar tuner



Among other standard equipment that one can connect to a computer is a microphone. To record sound you can either use web cam microphone or an ordinary one. In the following example we are going to use an ordinary little microphone of low quality which will help us tune an acoustic guitar.




The software we'll use is called Audio Tuner.


 
The acoustic guitar tuner software that we use will only hear an ordinary microphone input.















Because our mic is not very sensitive, once it is connected, it's volume has to be turned up. Here we amplify microphone to maximum. This time we don't have to worry about sound distortion, since we are only using it for tuning a guitar.














How to tune a guitar

 


To tune an acoustic guitar, you play a string and match it to desired frequency. Audio tuner software will display heard frequency in red color, which you then tune to match the green marker.
