Thanks a ="Jimsweb, post: 26591, member: 4"]yes tunig e-b-e-b means you are playing for '3 kattai'. in western it is equivalent to transposing to +4 semitones.
In carnatic we do not have keys for karnatic tuning. So we have to re-tune our string instruments to the sruti (key) of singer. It is same for playing different movie songs. many songs are in D, D# or E. so you will have a hard time re-tuning your violin. now, one easy workaround is use free softwares like audacity. open your song in audacity and transpose the song to E (since the violin is tuned to E).
suppose a song is is C and your violin is tuned in E. Now open this song in audacity and transpose the song to +4 semitones. You will have a matching pitch with that song and you would be able to practice that song easily. This will help you to re-tune your violin for different songs.
