Hi- First of all it helps to know if you have a Turkish or Arabic type oud. You can tune a Turkish oud down to basic standard Arabic tunings, but if
you tune an Arabic oud up to Turkish pitch it can cause problems from too much tension on the strings.
You can find a lot of info on this forum (or the web) by doing a search on oud tunings. Here are a couple of links to this topic (which has been
covered a lot) in this forum to get you started-

If Im somewhere and need a tuner badly- I go to Damman's online tuner- just google "online tuner" and Dammans is the 4th or 5th listing- really
useful-
if you're using an arabic oud- try (from the lowest pitch to the highest)
C FF AA dd gg cc this amongst the most common.
