Keep perfect time while practising guitar, piano, drums, singing or dance. Set any tempo from 20 to 300 BPM, pick 2/4 to 6/8, accent the first beat, add eighth notes, triplets or sixteenths, and choose a click, woodblock or beep. Tap along with a song to find its tempo. The clicks are timed by the audio clock, so they stay rock steady.
loading toolHow to use the metronome
- Set the tempo with the slider, the BPM box, + / − or Tap tempo.
- Choose beats per bar, clicks per beat and the sound.
- Press Start; the dots show which beat you are on.
Good to know
- Practise a hard passage slowly, then raise the tempo by 4–5 BPM at a time.
- Use headphones when recording so the click does not get into your microphone.
