Chromatic Tuner w/ mic input

[Toasted]

Hi, I'm training my voice, and I need a chromatic tuner with a mic input to sing into that will display the note I'm singing. Anyone suggest one?

[cheddatom]

Can you just use your PC? Or a pedal tuner with an xlr-jack lead?

[Toasted]

Mic + Xlr isn't a bad idea. I just wondered if there was something a bit more gadget-y that I could use, and a bit less heath-robinson-y

Looks good to me!

[cheddatom]

there are loads on that site. I don't mean to be a tw*t but I got it from searching "chromatic tuner" and got a few million results. - just saying 'cos there's probably something better/better value out there

[Toasted]

I was looking for recomendations more than anything

[cheddatom]

Ahhhh, sorry.

It's an interesting idea. Are you going to read sheet music and then use a tuner to make sure you're hitting the right notes?

I'm no singer, but I would have thought it better to learn to do it by ear. Do singing tutors have tuners?

As an experiment i'd be very interested in the results!

Whose covers will you be singing - some early Venom & Bathory stuff, or more modern black metal?

I'm training my ear so I can start to "hear" basslines in my head. I'm already getting better with intervals but my bass teacher feels that it will be good for my ear if I can use one of these gismos to check that I'm singing the "right" notes.

I think it makes sense in principle. Let's see what happens in practice

Hamster, I'm going to be singing Kraftwerk covers . . . . Kidding.

It's not really for "singing" it's really for "ear training". No, it doesn't make sense to me either

I've got the Korg DTR 200 which has a built in mic and sound generator if you fancy trying it!

[escholl]

i'd highly recommend a fender st-1, or even better if you can find an old korg at-12 that would be perfect

Korg tuners are awesome, and cheap, get one
