So last weekend I drove an hour out to the nearest GC to pick up a Tune-Bot..I have a decent set of ears when it comes to tuning..but its a long process for me...my aim with the Tune-Bot was to clarify my tuning methods as well as solidify my ability to properly differentiate minute tonal differences.
Upon first opening the box I thought the device looked pretty well thought of and after much research the options built in sounded, well..sound.
However..I cannot seem to use it properly and I am wondering if anyone else is having the same issues. I've watch their instructional video a few times and while its not a hard concept to grasp..I cannot for the life of me create consistent results.
I've loosened my head(s) several times, then bring them up evenly to begin tuning, however, when striking the center of the head I'll come up with, say 240Hz and the next hit(without touching a lug) I'll produce 170Hz..The same problem occurs when trying to find the tone of a single lug. I'll place my finger in the center of the drum head to avoid overtones and whack close to a lug a couple times..every consecutive hit is resolving a different tone..
So what is the deal? This is apparent with every drum I own..I've tried them all, on their proper settings and I've literally spent hours on this..
Thanks
