Apps: Pitch

February 1, 2017

We've been testing a new app from Daniel Kuntz called Pitch. Kuntz has several apps including Tone, an ear training app. Kuntz describes the app as:

“Pitch is a sleek, minimalist instrument tuner for iPhone.

Features:

- Simple & easy to use
- Quickly tune any musical instrument
- Detailed analytics to help you track your progress
- Hear individual notes or chords with the tone generator
- Works great in noisy environments
- Transpose to any key
- Dark and light modes
- 100% free with no ads!”
— App Store Description

Pitch has some features you'll see in other tuner apps like displaying your proximity to actual pitch and generating tones. Where the app stands out from the crowd is analytics. The app tracks analytics over time and gives some long term feedback on intonation. The developer describes it as "...a fitness tracker for musicians."

“It’s a fitness tracker for musicians!”
— Daniel Kuntz

We found the app to be helpful and a handy way to see how intonation is shaping up beyond just one note at a time. Separately, we found the app easy to use and pleasing to the eyes (no ads!). 

Pitch is available on the ios store and is free. Let us know in the comments what you think about the app.

iTunes is evil. A necessary evil, but still evil. You can say many great things about many of Apple's products, but that same affection does not extend to iTunes. It's hard to manage your music library on Apple devices without out those in the iPhone etc. crowd have to cope with it. It's particularly challenging with classical and to a certain extent Jazz as well. iTunes has a hard time reconciling the same "song" across different artists. 

The folks over at Macworld wrote a pretty good guide on how to manage your library in the iTunes world and minimize headaches. Note that we said minimize, not eliminate. The best thing you can do is have a system when tagging things in iTunes and stick to it. Hopefully, Apple will get it together someday and fix the problem for people like us who want to have 19 different recordings of Fanfare for the Common Man. 

Tells us in the comments how you manage your library.
