160 BPM - Metronome

160 BPM (Beats per minute) 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.

I purposely avoid any accent, to keep this metronome versatile. As a result, it can be used for any time signature or time signature change, and offer just what is essential : A steady time reference.

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 personal 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.

[swickzy]

as someone that’s in marching band, this sound will haunt me forever.

[thomascrawley]

theres something really satisfying about sitting down and starting this at 0:00 and reaching the end of the video in one sitting

[someobscuremusicchannel]

This is the perfect BPM, not too fast, not too slow, it's just right for a song to sound bouncy and energetic without being too fast. Also, the best song ever created uses this BPM, so it's automatically the best.

[emmam]

For someone as fit as josh, I have a feeling that this is slow for the meat beats. I mean we all know how fast his hand can go. Have you SEEN him drum????
