Before recording
Before a take, the player can choose the song preset and tune each string to the correct target. If the session uses lowered guitar, alternate bass tuning, or a non-standard reference pitch, those choices stay visible.
- Song presets
- A4 reference setting
- Instrument-specific string targets
Overdubs and recalls
A session may return days later for an overdub. Keeping the tuning preset in TuneLT helps the musician recreate the same setup instead of relying on memory, text messages, or a photo buried in a chat.

- Recents
- Setlist-style organization
Producer and player handoff
When a producer, session player, or assistant prepares a tuning, the target can be shared as a file, QR code, JSON, or app link. The receiving player imports the preset locally and tunes without needing access to a studio account.
- .tunelt import
- QR import
- JSON sharing
Before the session
Session prep notes, studio resource pages, and producer checklists are better when the tuning is written down before the take. If a song uses alternate tuning or a non-standard reference pitch, the saved preset helps everyone come back to the same setup later.
For sessions that come back later
Producers, engineers, session musicians, assistants, and bands all know how easily small session details disappear. A tuning choice made on day one may matter again when a part is doubled, edited, or overdubbed later.
- Producers and engineers
- Session guitar and bass players
- Studio assistants
- Bands recording across multiple days
Before the first take
Create presets for each song, confirm the reference pitch, and send the setup before the session. When players arrive with the right tunings already imported, the first take does not start with a search through old messages.
- Create song presets
- Document A4 reference
- Share in prep email
- Import before arrival
Coming back for overdubs
When a musician returns for an overdub, the saved preset can carry the song name, target notes, reference pitch, and custom setup. That is cleaner than relying on memory or a photo from the first session.
- Song name in preset
- Reference pitch remembered
- Favorites for active sessions
Where studios can link it
A studio can place the page in its musician resources or booking email: "If we send alternate tunings, import them in TuneLT before the session." The page explains the details without the studio writing the same instructions for every client.
- Studio resource page
- Booking confirmation
- Producer checklist
- Musician onboarding
Keep audio trust simple
Studios are careful with audio. TuneLT uses microphone input for local pitch detection and does not upload studio recordings to a TuneLT backend for tuning. That point should stay plain and easy to find.
- Local pitch detection
- No TuneLT backend recording upload
- Portable preset data only
