If you are just starting out in tuning, invest in a XLR measurment microphone like the dayton Emm6 and a device to interface with your computer. Smaart was worth the purchase for me for that stuff. I will be using it when I teach waves to my physics classes and my wife is also a theatre teacher so will be showing her how to use it and her tech students for their shows.

I would even suggest purchasing Smaart di 2, it will save you a bunch of time. If you are going to be measuring a lot of different things, I would at least get a XLR microphone and something like a motu m2 or focusrite 2i2 and use open sound meter. So overall, I can definitely recommend open sound meter and if you aren't using it (even with a usb microphone and a cheap loopback device) you are missing out on very valuable information. Smaart has a lot of keyboard shortcuts that makes things super quick to measure. Smaart always remembers your settings, probably that autosave everything. I created a m4 and a usb sound card setting and switch between the two instantly when I was taking those measurements.

Smaart just remembers all of your stuff everytime. Like close it on accident and re-open without changing anything it will remember. It does seem to remember if everything is ALWAYS plugged in. It doesn't remember if you unplug something. It will take overall more time because you have to change all of the settings every time you open it. Overall Open sound meter works well enough if you are just tuning one thing and then putting everything away. Saving -> Smaart auto saves everything and recalls everything upon opening, Open sound meter doesn't even warn you before you exit.ask me how I know. Setting up and Measuring again -> Smaart is easier (it remembers and you can easily create pairs to switch) Initial measurement setup -> Open Sound Meter was easier I have been playing with smaart only for a little bit (The demo then I purchased my own copy recently). Here are some final thoughts after playing some more with Open Sound Meter vs.
