The Studio Tools

Smart Metronome

The Smart Metronome is built on a professional audio scheduler, so the click is sample-tight — no browser drift.

How to use it

  1. Set your tempo and time signature, then press play (the play press also enables audio).
  2. Choose a subdivision — quarters, eighths, sixteenths, triplets — to hear the grid inside the beat.
  3. Use the tempo trainer to step the BPM up automatically as you repeat a passage, instead of stopping to nudge it yourself.

Pro tips

  • Practise slower than you think you need — clean at 70 beats the sloppy version at 100 every time.
  • Drop the click to beats 2 and 4 only (where your drummer’s snare lives) to build real pocket.
  • The Studio Coach can set it for you — ask it to “set the metronome to 96” and it hands you a button.
