96 BPM Metronome

96 BPM (Beats per Minute) Metronome

I designed this metronome series to emulate the behavior of mechanical metronomes as accurately as possible.

Mechanical metronomes got some advantages over digital ones. The pendulum movement gives the musicians visual clues about the tempo which can be very useful, especially for slow tempos. Unfortunately, the timing of mechanical metronomes is often not very good at slow tempos resulting in uneven beats. Moreover, the loudness of mechanical metronomes is insufficient for drums practice and you can't plug headphones on them.

My goal with this series was to create a metronome with an idealized behavior. keeping all the advantages of mechanical metronomes but at the same time getting rid of the downsides and inaccuracies. I kept the traditional range of tempos from real mechanical metronomes, which is from 40 to 208 BPM (Beats per minute).

Using After Effects expressions, I programmed the behavior of the pendulum very carefully, taking into account the non-linear and tempo-dependent effect of the weight of the needle on the movement amplitude and inertia.

I recorded the click sound of a real mechanical metronome, then process the sound in Ableton Live. My goal was to get a clear transient for precise time reference, but yet keep it soft and pleasant to avoid discomfort when using it for an extended period of time.

Once the behavior and the sound were correct, I approach the graphic design with minimalism in mind, to provide all the necessary information without clutter and distraction, in order to get a metronome both very useful and elegant.

This metronome is great for personal practice 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.

Great for the toughest lick in Europa 👌. 4:03 of the 5 minute 22 second version for any interested guitarists 👍.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be

There once was a ship that put to sea
And the name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
Blow, me bully boys, blow (huh)

Not a musician at all, but this series really helps to visualize my heart rate. I'm a (self-proclaimed in training) protector in an OSDD-1b system and this helps SO much to calm down littles and middles who co-front, meaning I get control of our brain but the co-fronting alter has control over some or all of the body. Most of them panic easily so I use this to help before they can elicit a physical response. Currently typing with one hand, but that's okay :)

Im trying to keep in tempo with it but the only this keeping in tempo or being even faster is my heart beat😭😭😭

[yourmulum]

Holy crap, that's stressful to try to keep in tempo

[michowdy]

Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye
Goodbye

Tell me somethin', girl
Are you happy in this modern world?
Or do you need more?
Is there somethin' else you're searchin' for?
I'm falling
In all the good times I find myself
Longin' for change
And in the bad times I fear myself
Tell me something, boy
Aren't you tired tryin' to fill that void?
Or do you need more?
Ain't it hard keeping it so hardcore?
I'm falling
In all the good times I find myself
Longing for a change
And in the bad times I fear
