New free online metronome, tuner, and tuning fork from the developers of "Transcribe!"

My very favorite software developers have put up a few online music programs for free, they run as Java apps in a browser, so no need to download anything:

The Seventh String Metronome

how useful

(for the computer age .... )

And wouldn't this music be so much better if those who created it had such vital tools?

llig: I fail to understand how either the metronome or the tuning fork could be of any use whatsoever to those without ears.

Am I missing something?

I have very good ears, yet I depend on my A440 tuning fork to tune pianos.

(how useless)

for those hanging on to a genetic hierarchy

Does this mean I have to unplug the computer, load it into the van, set it up at the session ( Idon't know where!), so I can tune up the old banjo.

As dependent on tuners as I am I'd rather use my ears!!!....

And wouldn't the music be so much better if those old blind harpers had been able to see!

Mind you if those illiterate peasants had had access to the internet they'd have spent all day downloading pictures of potatoes, so there'd be no music anyway.

Maybe it's me, but I tried Transcribe two times and found it very difficult to use for just basic slowing down and looping, so I gave up. Amazing Slow Downer was much easier. Sorry for being critical, but I just wondered if anyone else ever found this to be true?
