The Metronome - a useful tool for musicians, composers and songwriters

The METRONOME -
No musician should be without a metronome. For composers or songwriters a metronome is an invaluable aid in capturing the precise tempo the moment a composition is born.
A tap tempo metronome is the most useful in this respect. You can capture the exact tempo of a song in a moment.
For music practice a metronome is indispensable when it comes to practicing scales on the piano or keyboard. The same applies to all orchestral players and of course guitar players.
Setting the metronome at a slow speed at first and then increasing the metronome speed bit by bit will increase your skill and technique on your instrument in no time at all.

1. TAP TEMPO great for capturing the tempo of your latest song. Tap in the beat and DR. Beat instantly lets you know what tempo your song is at.

2. Doctor Beat has a clear display with two bright LED's and a LCD needle which clearly gives visual clues as to where you are in the beat. Great at slower tempos.

3. Roland's DR. Beat is not just a metronome. It also comes with a very usefull set of rhythms. Dr. Beat has nine rhythms with 24 beat variations. Odd time signatures are possible with up to 17 beats per measure. As well as odd time signatures there are clave patterns for practicing your Latin grooves.

4. Dr. Beat's extras are a mute button, its pocketsize measuring 5.2 by 3.5 by 1.2 inches (weighing only 8 ounces) and a battery saving function. It also has a 12 reference tones (semitones) and comes with a stereo headphone out - handy for composing or practising in noisy environments.

4. Apart from the rhythms the metronome click is pleasant to listen to and not electronicky.

About Niko

My main interest is music and music related products. I am a guitar teacher by day, and by night I love using the computer to record my own compositions. The latest craze is logic pro 7 - fantastic compared to the old days of struggling with tape.
