A reliable tuner is a must for any serious guitarist. The age of mobile devices has made PitchPerfect a perfect companion for the working musician. This app is great for the studio or for using in live performances. It can be downloaded for Android and iOS phones, and the app is very accurate when it comes to matching pitch. It eliminates the need to dig a handheld tuner out of the guitar case or place a clip-on tuner on the guitar's headstock. PitchPerfect has automatic note detection. This means users can tune in standard A440 as well as 50 alternate tunings. The only downside of this feature is that the guitar needs to be close to proper tuning before beginning. Users can tune their guitar with any sound input. This includes microphones and other line in devices. The app saves time because the player doesn't have to scramble looking for the note they want. It is even possible to check the intonation of the whole fretboard with this handy tool. Best of all, it's as close as the player's mobile phone or tablet. The software integrates with a number of other apps that are produced by NCH Software. It can be used with Switch Audio File Converter, WavePad Audio Editing, MixPad Multitrack Audio Mixer, and other digital audio workstations. Players will always know that their recordings are in tune when they use this tuner. This software is compatible with Windows XP through Windows 10, and also works on the Mac OS X 10.5 or higher. Android version 2.3.3 or higher is supported, and so is iOS 6.0 or higher. Frequent updates are delivered by NCH to make sure this app is current. It has been given high rating and reviews by users of mobile devices in Google Play and the App Store. It can tune six-string acoustic and electric guitars as well as a number of other stringed instruments. It will provide tuning for bass guitars, a banjo, mandolin, and other instruments. Players may discover that this app can replace multiple tuners that are much more expensive.
