RT60 vs drum tuner EZ

Now you can have an RT60 measurement tool for the iPhone. Another in the series of acoustic analysis and test applications from Studio Six Digital, RT60 measures reverb decay time for each octave band, 63Hz - 4kHz, by pulsing pink noise on and off, filtering the incoming signal by octave band, and measuring the timing of the decay of each octave band. RT60 conforms to international acoustics standard ISO 3382 for measuring room decay time (RT) using either the T20 or T30 method. RT60 will measure down to 50ms, and up to 4 seconds. Results are displayed for each band above the band, and the overall RT60 is calculated and displayed on the top of the screen. RT60 requires at least 25dB of headroom between the noise floor of the environment, and the level of the pink noise for T20 analysis. Turn up the amplifier to get more headroom. To use RT60, connect the iPhone output to the input of an amp and speaker, and carefully turn up the level after you tap the Generator icon. RT60 smoothes the results of several readings to get a more stable result. *** Screen Graphics The red bars are the current SPL level for each octave band. The thin black bars show the most recently measured maximum and minimum dB levels for the octave band that the RT60 calculation is using. The vertical yellow bars show the decay range that is available. Note that in some situations, you may not be able to overcome the ambient noise level in the room to get a good reading in every band. *** Calculations If a valid RT60 time can be computed, it is shown above the yellow bar. If it cannot be computed, no bar or value is shown. When your analysis is complete, you can save the graph image to your photo roll to include in a report. *** Calibration & Microphone Like all of the Studio Six Digital apps, RT60 can be calibrated. We set this field to the typical iPhone value, but if you have access to a calibrated SPL meter you can adjust this number as needed. There is a field to select Internal or External microphone. When Internal is selected, a compensation network is used to compensate for the response of the built-in or headset mic. When External is selected, no compensation is done. See our web site for more detailed information.

drum tuner EZ clears your heads & locks in real drum tones, without wasting ear-sweat. Jamming in the garage? Rushing a soundcheck? Tracking in the studio? 〉 2-STEP TUNER: 1. Tension by feel >> get close by ear. 2. Fine-tune each lug >> match pitch and you’re done. No gimmicks, no voodoo. Just snares that crack, toms that sing, and kicks that punch. 〉〉〉Why drummers grab drum tuner EZ • 'cause duct tape isn’t tuning, bro! • Your snare finally sits where the producer wants it • Clears heads before your guitarist finds the right pedal setting • Cheaper than a 'pro' drum key, but the app works with the free one you received with your kit too • Cleaner than your cymbals • Easier than explaining 7/8 to your bass player • Snare, toms & kick sounding tight, also when fills get loose :p 〉 Key Features • Lug tuner for 4–10 lugs • 0,5 Hz accouracy rounded to 1 Hz accuracy | Detects 30–550 Hz drum pitch... No other tool does.. except Drumtune PRO. • Modes for snare reso, snare, tom, floor tom & kick • Custom mic sensitivity + color settings • Runs on iOS 17 to 26+ (if it runs nowwadays TikTok, it runs this.) 〉 From Stage to Studio Believe it or not: the more you use this drum tuning app, the more your ear learns. It's like pitch-gym for drummers. Tuning more often sharpens your awareness of how head tension shapes tone. Soon you’ll hear every change in snare, tom & kick pitch! Result? A sharper ear, tighter kit, smoother gigs, and the confidence your kit sounds pro... even when your chops are still in practice mode. For those who doubt>> 1) Clearing a drum head to perfection is just a step in the process of getting a good sounding kit. 2) It doesn't matter whether you clear a drumhead by ear, with a tension-measuring device, or with a pitch-based tuner. Cleared drum heads sound like cleared drum heads, and they don't care about how you cleared them: they sound the same either way. You could clear heads perfectly and still get a "meh" drum sound for your needs, because didn't clear the heads in the right 'spot' to achieve it. 3) To get your kit sounding 'great', it matters "where" you clear each drumhead: a) "where" in its tensioning range for its diameter and head type, and b) "where" tonaly, towards the opposite head, and for that given tone, c) so that the drum sits nicely between the other drums in your kit, d) while having a playing feel and tonal decay dynamic that pleases you. Those that tuned enough drums, realize the above makes sense, like grabbing a cup of coffee in the morning. 〉drumtuner EZ is a tool to help clear drumheads. It's support for that facet of the tuning process to get to the sound you're after. 〉You make your own tuning choices, like you do when tuning by ear... drumtuner EZ is not your travel-guide, deciding on your sound destination for you. However, should you embark on the drum tuning journey, you may find in this tool a great travel-companion instead. You tune for your mood & vibe. You control on how your drums sound through mastering the stuff in topic 3. We wish you happy travels to a sound destination! Questions? Hate mail? sos@drumtuner-ez.com
