Bomb Factory tuner is wrong

[Fastermouse]

I noticed that I had just tuned to a floor tuner then a tuner in my Bogner Line 6 and then when I touched up at the desk with Bomb Factory and I was 10 cents too low. I then checked it agaist TL inTune and I was still in tune. I then created a sine wave in inTune and ran it through the BF and yep, they were different. I will stress that they were both set to 440hz. Not looking for a fix but be aware. BF can be wrong.

Yup.

Tom, what sucks about this is that it is only a little bit off, and hard to hear. How many tracks have been, well, not ruined, but , shall we say "soured" by this? I am not going to get all hot and bothered over this, but ...WTF?

I know, I felt the same way when I discovered this. I haven't used this tuner in years. Fortunately we listen to our instruments and make subtle adjustments by ear.

Hey Faster, how ya doin?
How's the music coming along?

Hey, I was thinking about you today. New cd is moving right along. ( For my band) My own stuff is kind of on the back burner. I also found a steal on a '36 Baldwin grand that I am restoring from the inside out,. Like I needed another project!

As to the BF tuner, I think that all of the times I have used it , it has been on just my guitars and basses, across the board, so no tuning discrepancies. (I hope) Something will come back to bite me on the ass though!

Ahh - so you have a band as well? You're a busy guy!
Holy crap - restoring a grand piano sounds like A LOT of work.
So many moving parts!

Glad to hear your CD is moving along and good to hear from ya man!
Do you have a website for your band?

As for the tuner, I've never used it. I use my trusty ole boss tuner.

TOM - it's good you mentioned retuning instruments by ear while recording. Nice to be reminded that we have ears and don't always need to rely on technology!

Yeah, here ya go.

This has a couple of demos that I did on the old Mbox When I first joined the band. LOL! I played everything on these, except the Lead Vocals. The songs were written by our Singer and Bass player. I had just joined the band and we needed some stuff to gig on.
I actually am kind of proud of how they turned out.The quality ain't all that but it held up well enough that I decided to start a studio life again. I played bass drum on one track and the snare and hi hat, and then the toms. OMG LMAO! After I was done, I kept meaning to add our Bassist and drummer, but I didn't ever get up the nerve to try to mic up his stand-up. ( I have now and I am really stoked about the cool sound we have come up with...hope you guys will agree)
And now here I am 4 years later, with a kicking project studio and no job except trying to make records in the daylight and make music at night.

I haven't listened to those demos in forever, and I just heard the tail of that annoying MBox whine that I used to suffer from. LOL! How did that slip in!
