# Metronome

Set the tempo, choose a time signature, and press start. The metronome counts from the browser audio clock, needs no sign-in, and keeps every click on the beat.

## A metronome that counts the tempo you set

Set the tempo and the bar length, then press start. The click is queued on the browser audio clock, so the pulse holds while you practice, write or count a group in.

### Keep time across 30 to 300 BPM

The slider steps one beat per minute, and the minus and plus buttons nudge the tempo without a drag.

### Accent the first beat of the bar

Choose two to seven beats per bar, and the metronome sounds a brighter, louder click on beat one so the downbeat is audible.

### Schedule clicks on the audio clock

Each click is queued ahead of time on the browser audio clock, so the pulse stays even while the rest of the page is busy.

## Set a tempo in three moves

### Set the tempo

Drag the slider or use the minus and plus buttons to land on a tempo between 30 and 300 BPM.

### Choose the bar

Pick two to seven beats per bar; the first beat of each bar carries the accent.

### Press start

The first click waits for your browser to allow audio, and then the pulse runs until you stop it or leave the page.

## A steady click, without an account

### 30 to 300 BPM

The range of tempos the metronome covers, stepped one beat per minute at a time.

### 2 to 7 beats

The bar lengths you can choose, with the first beat of every bar accented.

### 0 credits

The metronome runs in the browser and submits no generation job.

### No sign-in

No account, upload or download is involved in keeping time.

## Who keeps time with a metronome

### Players practicing to a click

## Metronome FAQ

### What tempo range does the metronome cover?

The metronome runs from 30 to 300 BPM, stepped one beat per minute at a time with the slider or the minus and plus buttons.

### Which time signatures can the metronome count?

The metronome offers bars of two, three, four, five, six or seven beats, and accents the first beat of every bar so the downbeat is clear.

### Why does the first click wait after I press start?

Browsers only allow audio after a user gesture, so the metronome opens its audio clock when you press start and sounds the first click from the following beat.

### Does the metronome drift while the page is busy?

The metronome queues each click ahead of time on the browser audio clock instead of firing a timer per beat, so the pulse stays even while the page is working.

### Is the metronome accurate enough for recording?

The metronome keeps a steady pulse for practice and for settling on a tempo, but it is not a substitute for a DAW tempo map or a hardware click when you need sample-accurate sync.

### Does the metronome need an account or credits?

The metronome runs entirely in the browser, with no sign-in, no credits and no upload, so nothing you play leaves your device.

### Can I hear the metronome through headphones?

The metronome plays through whatever output your browser is already using, so headphones and a speaker both work, and it never opens the microphone.

### What happens if I change the tempo while it is running?

The metronome picks up the new tempo from the next scheduled beat, so the pulse continues without a stop and start.

### How many credits does Metronome use?

Metronome runs in the browser and draws zero credits.

## Keep this tempo for your next track

Use the tempo you settled on in a generator, or open the beat tools and build around it.
