  • Works, but not as good as hardware

    My hardware tuner broke recently, so I bought the bx_tuner. It works ok, can tune my guitars with this, it does work better than other software tuners I have tried. However, I find it to be less accurate and a little more fiddly than a dedicated hardware tuner. It seems to take a while to hit its frequency. However, I am able to tune my guitar with this.

    I don't know why, but I never get an E note, it'll always be an Eb. I've done several comparisons with the Ableton Live tuner and I don't really know what I'm doing wrong.
    I've tried it with my guitar and bass, but it all comes back to not being able to tune an E, just because it always shows an Eb

    Another ask for 432Hz please, pretty please. Great little tuners in its simplicity, but the limited frequency options are a drag.

    What can anyone sayabout a tuner plugin? Not an awful lot to be honest with you. They are hardly the most exciting plugin after all. But let's face it, ask any guitar player what the most essential item is on their pedalboard and many will tell you that Its got to be their tuner.
    The BX Tuner is nice looking and it works very well. It even has a couple of additional features when compared to other plugin tuners I have used such as muting and dimming. These, though not the most essential features, are a nice touch - especially the muting.
    What I don't understand is why it costs so much for a plugin tuner. I have had hardware tuners just as effective but costing the same ammount or less. I also have also used free plugin tuners that work just as well (though without the mute option). Many virtual amp plugins feature tuners built in as standard so this may not be the most essential option for new software.
    I purchased this on an offer so I persoanlly can't complain about the price to much. If your after a plugin tuner that offers the mute function then you may find there are not so many plugin options. However, if you can live without that function (after all, your DAW channel has a mute function) then you may want to compare a demo of this pluginwith some of the free tuners from other manufactures.
    I'm a big fan of Brainworx stuff and have quite a few of their plugins. It is hard to get excited about a tuner but I have found that this has now become my main tuner in my guitar effect chain in my DAW.
    Conclusion:
    Pros: Looks good, does what it says and delivers the results well. Muting function is a nice addition.
    Cons: That price just seems a bit steep when you consider other plugin tools from up and coming developers out there. Plus lets face it, it's very hard to get excited about a plugin tuner.
