    For tuning a guitar/synth I use either a hardware tuner (Zoom multiFX for life, yay) or Ableton's built in tuner. It works great for external gear, fast and accurate. But it only displays the note and cent offset.

    But now I've got a need that displays the exact frequency in Hertz, because using a sine oscillator and my ears for that is painfully slow. The only other tuner plugin I've got installed is Nembrini's Tuner which kind of works but it seems a bit wobbly and kind of slow to update. I've tried several in the past and I can't remember one that displays the actual frequency of the signal.

    Any ideas?

    Te tuner on Android (also) does this. Mtuner (melda) errr the free Gtune, and there are many more. Search for 'hertz tuner' in the interwebs and you will find loads of options
