90 Chapter 8 Performing Live With MainStage

Using the Tuner

MainStage includes a Tuner that you can use to tune guitars and other instruments you

play through an audio channel strip. The Tuner shows pitch on a circular scale with the

note name and octave displayed in the center of the scale. When you play a single note

on your instrument, the pitch is shown in relation to the correct pitch for the note

displayed.

To tune an instrument using the tuner:

1 Select the audio channel strip to which the instrument you want to tune is connected.

2 Click the Tuner icon in the Toolbar (or press Control-T).

The Tuner appears in the workspace.

3 Play a single note on your instrument, and watch the Tuner display.

As you play, the Tuner shows the note name of the closest note. If the note is not in

tune, the note name and the Tuner glow red, and a vertical red bar appears, showing

whether the note is sharp or flat.

The bar appears to the right of the note name if the note is sharp, and to the left if the

note is flat. When the note is in tune, the note name and the tuner scale glow blue, and

the vertical bar disappears.

Be sure to play only a single note at a time while tuning. The Tuner can’t tune to a

chord or interval, or if you play different notes rapidly. For more information about the

Tuner, refer to the Logic Studio Instruments and Effects manual.
