I keep a tuner on the desk. Rather than going to software, and into the box, which requires a mic or an input.... I simply turn it on and tune up.

Hit STOP to silence the music
Press the ON button
Pick the string & tune.

It's faster than negotiating through software with a mouse.

Normally, tuning once is sufficient, but if something sounds off..... it's a quick process to check.

I used to have a Conn Strobetuner connected to the line output of my guitar amp and turned on at all times during a show back in the days when I was gigging. Simple to check a string in a song or between songs. It was critical to me then, but in the studio now, I have more time..... and so I use the little pocket tuner that's always laying beside the keyboard on my DAW desk.
