Windows Guitar Tuner
Casio Bauman
LINGOT is a musical instrument tuner. It's accurate, easy-to-use, and highly configurable. Originally designed as a guitar and bass tuner, its configurability gives it a more general character. It looks like an analog tuner, with a gauge indicating the relative shift to a certain note. The program automatically guesses the note to tune.
Related to this toppic, Rakarrack is the best Guitar Effects software out there. Before using it, you'll need to configure JACK (qjackctl) to connect the guitar audio input to the speakers output (at this link you'll find more info about how to use Rakarrack).
GuiTuner tries to detect the pitch of the sound recorded in real time from the audio device using some methods ( by now only based on FFT ) that you can configure at runtime. It is self-explanatory, you just have to connect your guitar or your microphone to the sound card, configure the input device using a mixer and see what the program tells you: it displays the note nearest to the picked sound and the interval between it and the note produced by the instrument. If the sound produced is lower than the right one the left arrow becomes green, if is higher becomes green the right arrow.
fmit / sudo apt-get install fmit is included in the regular software sources. It was the only one that worked for me. Although you will need to fine tune a few of the settings. With older versions of Ubuntu I had the problem, that the sample rate was low, when the sound preferences were not open (weird - I know). A workaround to that is using pulseaudios oss-wrapper by starting fmit with:
I'm no expert and haven't used it, but Rakarrack sounds like it will fit the bill. It's primarily an effects pedal, but also features a tuner. Combined with Ardour or Audacity, it should let you plug your guitar straight into your Ubuntu PC and start recording.
If you have trouble with fmit, then you probably need to poke around to learn some basics about Linux sound systems. It's not always 100% plug & play, but usually the answer is simple when you find it.
Like professional tuners, PitchPerfect Guitar Tuner captures (using a microphone or via line input, if your guitar has that possibility) the pitch of the string you press, instantly identifying it and telling you the necessary adjustment for proper tuning.

Instrument tuning applications aren't two a penny on any platform - it takes some seriously good coding to handle the real time audio signal analysis. Airyware Tuner has been in the Store as a Windows Phone 8.1 application for years (there's even a free 'lite' version here), but now we have a proper Windows 10 UWP version - it runs perfectly under Windows 10 on Mobile, Desktop and on Continuum screens.
Impressively done, even though the interface itself bears no resemblance to any other Windows 10 application. My guitar is but a trivial test case for such a tuner - I'm sure the target market will something more ambitious!
You may remember that, almost a year ago, I reviewed Accurate Tuner Pro here on AAWP? I rated it highly, but there have been plenty of new competitors, of varying degrees of quality, released since. In the spirit of starting 2014 with options for you, the Windows Phone enthusiast (and musician), here's my round up of tuning utilities for the platform - for the guitar, at least. Other instrument round-ups may follow in due course!
Guitar playing and fiddling with tech seem to go hand in hand, judging from the number of fellow strummers I've come across. Many worse than me and a greater number a lot better. But we all have to tune our guitars every time we get the 'ol six string (or in my case the 12-string) out - which is why there's a booming cottage industry on every mobile platform in guitar tuning aids of every type. Here's a comprehensive option for Windows Phone....
Before delving into what Accurate Tuner Pro (ATP) does, I should go a little philosophical, noting that there's a distinct benefit to staying 'old school' and low-tech, in that sampling tuners reduce tuning each string to tweaking the tuning pegs and watching the fancy animations - you essentially stop fiddling when the display says so and never mind how the string sounds. Ultimately, as a player, you want to improve, but you also want to improve your musical ear, I'm often appalled by the numbed of players who carry on strumming something which is obviously out of tune because they just can't 'hear it'. I should emphasise that I haven't got 'perfect pitch', but I can recognise when a note's not 'right'. In part this is because I've usually tuned my guitar by ear, playing a tuning fork to get a reference tone and then tuning by harmonics across the strings, or by playing the appropriate notes on a nearby electronic piano or organ and tuning to those.
Even with ATP, after tuning across all the strings, my guitar didn't sound 'right' - every guitar has its own little, miniscule idiosyncrasies, i.e. no instrument is perfectly intoned. By tuning by ear, I was able to make these little allowances as I went.
The argument against tuning using reference tones, by ear, is that 'on stage' (i.e. in a noisy and busy environment), it's hard to hear accurately enough to make the needed changes. By plugging your instrument into an electronic tuner, you can interface directly with a tuning engine and get accurate pitch even if Motorhead are playing on the other side of the room.
This then is the big selling point of sampling/'chromatic' tuners - except that here, on your Windows Phone, you can't plug your instrument in - you're reliant on the microphone - which brings us back to problems in noisy rooms: in this case, the software having to pick individual frequencies from a barrage of sound. Which often doesn't work very well.
The Rolls Royce of tuning applications, and suitable for every other instrument on earth, thanks to options for every musical and tuning system (for guitars, above, right) known to man. For guitarists, the chromatic tuner works brilliantly, with the orange panel (above) glowing green when the note's nominally "in tune".
Plain and simple, as far from Accurate Tuner Pro as it's possible to get. Set this to 'repeat' and then tap the string letter you want and twang your own instrument strings until they sound the same as the samples coming from your phone speaker. Your own musical ear is the key here, and this utility will help train it.
As the name suggests, chords, scales and metronome are all included here as well, but the tuner part is also effective. The neon blue indicator moves left and right and glows green when you're in tune - the big red button switches the bottom display from waveform mode (shown) to frequency analysis. Also included (shown right) is a manual 'by ear' tuner, though there's no auto-repeat system so you have to keep tapping manually.
