How do I use StudioMetronome.pro?

Sign in, set your BPM, choose a time signature and subdivision, optionally adjust per-beat volumes, then press Play. You can save setlists for quick switching between songs or exercises.

Tap Tempo lets you match a real song speed by tapping a button 6–10 times. The metronome calculates and sets your average tapping speed as the BPM.

What are per-beat volumes (Beat Blocks)?

Per-beat volumes let you control the loudness of each beat in a bar independently. You can create backbeat feels, accent downbeats, or mute beats for groove training.

Using the Free StudioMetronome.pro (Quick Start)

Step 1: Sign in (required)

StudioMetronome.pro requires sign-in before use so your setlists and settings can be saved across devices.

Choose Google sign-in or Email sign-in
After login, your profile is created automatically

Step 2: Set your tempo (BPM)

BPM means beats per minute.

Tap the + / – to adjust
Or use Tap Tempo (next step)

Tip: If you're practicing something hard, slow down until you can play it cleanly.

Step 3: Use Tap Tempo

Tap Tempo is for matching a real song speed.

Tap the button 6–10 times
The BPM will settle on your average tapping speed

Tip: Tap with the beat of the song, not your fastest finger speed.

Step 4: Choose a time signature

Time signature tells the metronome how many beats are in a bar.

Common choices:

4/4: most pop/rock
3/4: waltz feel
6/8: "1-2-3 4-5-6" rolling feel
7/8 / 5/4: odd time practice

Pick the one that matches what you're learning.

Step 5: Choose subdivisions

Subdivisions help you practice timing inside the beat.

Quarter
8th
Triplet
16th

Start with fewer clicks. More clicks aren't always better.

Step 6: Use per-beat volume (the "Beat Blocks")

This is where StudioMetronome.pro becomes serious.

For each beat in the bar, you can set volume:

0% = muted beat
higher = louder beat

Examples:

Backbeat feel: beat 2 loud, beat 4 medium, others softer
Accent downbeat: beat 1 loud, others softer
Groove training: mute beat 1 sometimes to test your internal time

Step 7: Hit Play

Press Play to start. Press again to stop.

If your browser pauses audio (can happen in some cases), you'll see a clear message and you can resume with Play.

Step 8: Save a setlist

A setlist is a list of songs/exercises with their BPM and settings.

Create a setlist (example: "Gig Set" or "Warmups")
Add items with: song name, BPM, time signature, subdivision, per-beat volumes

This is the "practice dashboard" part: fast switching, no fiddling.
