Okay for synthesizers, not for acoustic instruments

I downloaded Perfect Pitch, and tried to use it to tune my banjo cumbus. Yes, I was able to get the instrument in tune, but Perfect Pitch was really a little too perfect for my purposes. The pitch of a note played on an acoustic instrument is not constant, so the ear is a better judge of tuning than this very exacting bit of software. If your instrument is electronic, and entirely without vibrato, Perfect Pitch will read its tones perfectly -- but then, if that is the case, you don't need a tuner.
Rewarding freeware - Version: 1.1, 7/14/2004 01:30PM PST

As the previous comment says: this is a freeware application where you actually want to pay for. Although I don't like to be suggested a price (as is appearing after 5 times using the app. Will this reappear, even after I have paid??), but I certainly like to donate some dollars to reward the developer, for giving this perfect app away for free!

I had more then one shareware tuner that I had paid for but I tossed them all!
This one actually functions, most others just play notes and make you match by ear. You'd pay good money at music store for a box that tunes like this one. This is one piece of freeware I'll probably even pay for.
Works great with Griffin iMic - Version: 1.1, 1/17/2004 09:03PM PST

This tuner works great with my Griffin iMic USB input. A perfect companion to my Les Paul and GarageBand. Wish GarageBand had this built-in. Finally someone "got it."
Thanks for a perfect app.
Good Job - Version: 1.1, 1/12/2004 03:13PM PST

This app is awesome. Except the icon freaks me out.
Third-party Audio Hardware - Version: 1.1, 1/11/2004 11:03PM PST

pogmoor_dotmac: I suspect that the problem is that you are using a third-part audio device. Perfect Pitch does not currently support anything more than the standard line-in and the built-in microphone (if you have one). Support for other audio devices WILL be coming as soon as possible.
Won't work for me! - Version: 1.1, 1/11/2004 09:38AM PST

Perfect Pitch looks as if it ought to be very good, but I can't get it to work! I'm running OS X 10.3.1 on a G4 Cube (450 MHz). I'm trying to tune a classical guitar. With 2 different microphones and several different sensitiviy setting, it only registers after a delay, the needle sticks at that point and it won't register anything else for a long time. The note recorded is usually totally inaccurate and playing the same note on the guitar several times gives several, wildly inaccurate readings (wrong note, wrong octave). What's worse is that my e-mail to the developer has been returned with an invalid address message.

In a nutshell, Perfect Pitch. Highly recommended.

I have been waiting for a "listening" guitar tuner for a bloody fortnight... The developers of this lovely little app are truly the proverbial shiznit.
Long live Line of Sight Software!
So to have found one that doesn't crash and is free for use, unless you feel like donating some money, is a great boon on its' own. To then find that it works quite perfectly for my trumpet, even though somebody mentioned it doesn't bode well for acoustic instruments.
The reason I had downloaded this piece of software was to check which pitch my several didgeridoos were tuned for. This the software, not surprisingly, had some trouble with those, but by keeping my tone as pure and unwavering as possible was still able to give me a good indication.
I tested this by having my conductor lend me his pitching hardware the same evening to double-check the two didgeridoos that were in a pitch that was usable for a certain piece of music.
So, in the end, seeing as a professional piece of hardware had no trouble deciphering the pitch of a didgeridoo I can't in honesty rate this software as perfect, but it came quite close, if you're asking me :)
