Questions
What tuning is The Nothing in?
Korn recorded The Nothing (2019) in A Standard at concert pitch (A 440), measured by TuneLit on the CD. The Darkness Is Revealing uses A Standard −8 ¢; H@rd3r uses A Standard +12 ¢; This Loss uses A Standard +10 ¢.
Why does The Nothing sound out of tune with my guitar?
H@rd3r sits about 12 cents sharp (A ≈ 443), so a guitar tuned to A 440 clashes with it. The Tune buttons on this page set the tuner's reference to match the record, song by song, so you only tune the strings.
