Tuning For BIAB ?
What is the best tuning to use when playing steel along with BIAB. I never seem to be in tune with songs in BIAB. I imagine BIAB is tuned to straight up 440.
I guess I could try a straight up 440 on steel, but I thought I would ask before I started re-tuning and changing everything on my steel.
It would seem like a real hassle to have to re-tune every time I play with BIAB

What is your Biab using to make the sounds?
If you're using midi, as opposed to RealTracks,
perhaps there is a global tuning option in
your soundcard/sound-device.

Never had a problem being out of tune with BIAB.

I had the same problem with being out of tune,then I discovered much to my amazement,that I was so use to playing alone,and just doinf riff's and stuff like that,that I was just off fret markers alittle bit.It was a great learning lesson and now,I am more untop of my game.I thought I was in tune the whole time,but was always falling somewhat flat,when playing with BIAB.Thats my 2 cents worth..hope it helps somebody!!

Hi Andy, I have the 2011 BIAB Really like it. I use it mostly for making my back up rythum tracks in the studio.
I am dumpping the BIAB into my Nuendo4 program after rendering. i am getting a great sound and good performance.
I haven't noticed that tuner, man that's great. glad you brought that out. the main instruments for me that has been out of tune has been the fiddles.
Again thanks for the tuner.
