78 BPM - Talking Metronome (4/4)

78 BPM (Beats per minute) Talking Metronome

I designed this metronome series to be as simple and minimal as possible yet of the highest quality.

My goal was to design a metronome with very precise time accuracy, that can be played loud to cut through loud musical situations without being annoying.

This version is in 4/4 time signature and feature a voice added to the metronome click that count the beats. This voice is helpful when you practice challenging ideas that can disturbe your internal count. Practicing with this metronome will help you because you can still hear where you are in the bar while you play.

I used Ableton Live to record the sound and process it. My goal was to get the best transient possible to allow a very precise time reference while at the same time keeping the sound dense with a moderate crest factor. I crafted the frequency response of the click very carefully to avoid harsh frequencies where our ear is very sensitive.

In order to keep this metronome lightweight, i decided to avoid any animation that can distract the attention of the musician.

This metronome is great for personnal practice, in particular for drums, percussions or electrical instruments where some metronomes struggle to be heard, but can be used by teachers or schools providing a solution for classrooms, where the loudness and size of a real metronome are just not good enough.


That's all, I hope you'll enjoy this series.
