For drop d I can usually just pop the nut and tune down, retighten and fine tune the rest, or do all the tuning with the tuners/fine tuners (sometimes it takes a sec, sometimes a few min)... for other tunings I have to adjust the springs and play around till it 'falls in place', and it usually takes a 15-30 min. Just start playing around and you'll figure it out, it's a simple 'system', so by good ole trial and error youll figure out what to loosen/tighten/adjust to get the tuning you want. As a side note $50 sounds crazy to charge someone to tune a guitar... maybe go somewhere else where they will show you how to do it if you can't get it easily yourself.

: I just bought an Ibanez S-470 with a Floyd Rose lo-trs2.
: I like to be able to change the tuning of my guitar
: between standard tuning and different drop tunings
: constantly to play different things. I have 11-gauge
: stings, how can I change the tuning without going to
: to a gutar store and paying $50 for them to do it
: every time I want it done. Please help, I love this
: guitar!
: everytime
