120 BPM - Metronome

120 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.

I have to say, this is a really amazing sequel to 119 bpm. I hope the series keeps it up!

[fujitivefilms]

Wow. The emotional theme paired with the rich fluctuating undertones really creates a beautiful masterpiece which can only be described as amazing. Truly art.

For people who are wondering who might like this video, it helped me a lot to practice cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) since it is the rhythm at which compressions are performed and to save lives on time :)

If at any point of time in life you feel stupid, just know that people dislike metronomes.

[karim_ghibli]

I don't get why this track by them is more popular than the 115 BPM. I personally think that one's a banger, it just hits different.

[Sgengibre]

put it in x2 the beat actually sounds sick, remind me of 240 bpm

[jarrett]

that guitar solo at 7:56 is so emotional

[elijahsantucci]

This is by far there best album I can’t wait until they come through my city the show is going to be sick!!!

For joker's neutral special, he wields a Gun

[veremox]

i use this to study. after like 15 minutes it gets me into some sort of hypnotized state and i'm super focused lol.

[leahjoy]

Yeah.. I use this metro everyday for my Flute Practice!!! Really useful.

[lopliz]

Every one be like: I used this to play my flute. I used this for guitar.

Me: I used it to play Kahoot on piano

[declanhogan]

you have to listen to all these guy's work before you really understand the meaning of this song

[Filmedbynova]

I listened to this in hopes of replacing the 60bpm metronome that has been in my head the last 10 yrs. Thank you.

Sorry, I don't mean to freak you out
But I hear someone inside my house
Heart racing, keepin' me awake
Paranoia slippin' in
Checkin' all the locks again
It's so loud inside my head
Got me feeling paralyzed
I can't see without the lights
A chill is runnin' down my spine
Starin' out the window
A knife under my pillow
But it's all inside my mind
Oh, I'm holding on for dear life
Why's this happen to me all the time?
Got me starin' out the window
A knife under my pillow
But it's all inside my mind
I know I've made this call before
Not crying wolf, I'm pretty sure
There's just some things I can't erase
Paranoia slipping in
Checking all the locks again
It's so loud inside my head
Got me feeling paralyzed
I can't see without the lights
A chill is runnin' down my spine
Starin' out the window
A knife under my pillow
But it's all inside my mind
Oh, I'm holding on for dear life
Why's this happen to me all the time?
Got me starin' out the window
A knife under my pillow
But it's all inside my mind
But it's all inside my mind

I hate playing bass to this because the beautiful tunes of this metronome far outshine me. The melancholy timbre and the emotion of this metronome are something I could never replicate.

[tfnlel]

I like to think that deaf people think we dance to this

[servicepupphoenix]

im too broke to afford a watch that tells me my heart rate, so whenever im having a medical episode, i pull these up and feel my pulse to make sure im not dying ✌😗

[byuben]

Listening to this at 2.0x speed... amazing
