    Guitar tuner app for Linux?

    I use this for Windows, but I can't seem to find anything in the repos that does this. You know of any?

    Would there be a reason my front mic jack wouldn't be working from a software perspective. I know the hardware works.

    edit: Switched to the rear jack logged out then in, and mic works. Still can't figure out how to work it. It's giving me a different reading on the same string every time. sometimes 3 notes away from each other.

    Here's an online tuner that runs Flash.

    If at first you don't succeed - just buy the company and tell them to make the one you want.

    Let me Google that for you. The fifth hit down has a discussion of several tuner apps, but all of them might help you.

    If you read my op it says I was looking for something in the repos. I would have to be really, really stupid to go installing random apps off the Internet. That's why I ask for recommendations, so I don't have to do something so insanely stupid.

    Thanks for some reason I have trouble doing it by ear though. I need one that uses the mic to tell me exactly when it's in tune.

    Re: Guitar tuner app for Linux?

    TuxGuitar has a tuner in it that works fairly well. I still prefer just using the tuner I bought for my Electric Guitar. But just tested the tuner app in Tux Guitar and it was fairly accurate when compared to the tuner I have. The program also has alot of other fun features you may like. It's also in the Repo's which is a huge plus.

    The tuner is in the tools tab

    Tested gtkGuitune also. It's accurate also.

    Please note I am testing this with an Electric Guitar plugged into the Mic port on the front of my laptop.

    Having messed with them. I would still suggest going and buying a decent tuner.
