TE Tuner App Just vs Equal tuning
I want to get better at just intonation because my goal is to win an audition for an orchestra. I’ve been using the TE tuner App with the equal temperament for tuning because I normally only play with pianists; however, I don’t want to train my ear with equal temperament if orchestras mainly use just tuning. What is the best way to use the TE tuner App with the Just termepermnt tuning? Should I be changing keys on the app each time I play a different piece or should I stick with key of C since flute is in C? TYIA!

I've found using drone pitches and tuning with my ear to be more helpful. At least for me, trying to chase the tuning needle just lends itself to practicing correcting my pitch instead of finding the pitch center by ear and replicating it. I like to practice a varying number of scales outside of just C drone for C, E for E, etc - think practicing Cmajor with a B drone - so it forces me to not only tune the typical Maj3/6, P4/5, but also min2, tritones, etc. Getting creative with it can be fun.
That being said I'm a string player, but I feel like something similar could work for flute too!

Audition burnout, normal part of the process?
I've been working with a coach and practicing at any available hour for the past year+ to win a job, but not only has my progress stalled, but random health problems are starting to set me back.
In the past burnout has just been a normal part of the process, and I wouldn't be worried about feeling strained. Heck, my peers who are now working in orchestras often described the dark places they had to go through in order to be winners. But insomnia, brain fog, and headaches are getting in the way of practicing.
If I'm not the most talented I am committed to being the hardest worker in an audition roster, but there are days I just want to quit because I don't get feedback on why I don't advance. I don't know if I'm putting enough effort in, need to swallow my pride and double down, or…
