By default, +a simple and fast Schmitt Trigger based algorithm is used to detect the +fundamental frequency of an instrument. For better and more reliable +results, there is an alternative FFT based algorithm which is much more +CPU intensive. + +As audio capture backends, ALSA and JACK are supported. By default, tuneit +will try to use the hw:0,0 ALSA device. + +This requires fftw. jack is an optional dependency, but enabled by default +in this build script. If you don't want jack support, then run the script +with USE_JACK=no in the build environment. + +Tip: Unless you're on a really slow ancient system, you probably want +to always run tuneit with the -f option. |
