How often should I plan to retune my LP2? Will the tuning fluctuate much based on the quality of the power or is it more of a heat issue? Does ambient temperature matter much (i.e., is 65 degrees vs. 80 degrees a big deal?) or is it the operating temperature of the oscillators themselves?
The power where I live is notoriously noisy/varying and I’ll be using the LP in a few different studios, so I’m curious how conscious of the tuning I’ll need to be.
My thought is that I should go through the tuning process once and then leave the LP2 in Auto tune mode. Is that what most folks do?

It’s more of a heat issue, unless we’re talking about really unstable power, like a brownout type situation.

Ambient temp. doesn’t matter much as long as the LP has been turned on for a while (like, 15-30min) at the current ambient temp. Warm-up and sudden drastic changes in ambient temperature are more the issue.

That’s what I do… works fine; usually I can use my LP as a tuning reference for the other gear in my studio.
