How to use
When it helps
A metronome for anything that needs a steady beat: practicing an instrument or singing, matching dance moves, or keeping a workout rhythm. It works in any desktop or phone browser with no app to install.
Some web metronomes use timers to play sounds, so the beat slowly drifts. This one schedules each click ahead of time on the audio device clock, so the beat stays steady even if you leave it running for a long time.
If you do not know the tempo of a song, press Tap tempo along with it four or more times. The BPM is calculated from the average gap between taps. In 6/8 time, the first and fourth beats are accented.
FAQ
I cannot hear anything.
Turn off silent mode on your phone (the side switch on iPhone) and turn the volume up. Browsers can only play sound after you press a button.
Is the beat accurate?
Clicks are scheduled on the audio clock, so the spacing stays even even when the computer is busy. The circles on screen may lag very slightly, but the sound is precise.
Does it keep playing in another tab?
On computers it usually does. On phones it may stop when the screen turns off.
How is tap tempo calculated?
From the average gap of up to your last 8 taps. If you pause for more than 2 seconds, it starts over.
What is the BPM range?
From 30 to 250, in steps of 1.
