Frequently asked questions

How accurate is this online metronome?

Very. Each click is scheduled on the audio hardware clock about 100 ms ahead, so timing doesn't drift or stutter the way simple timer-based metronomes can.

How does tap tempo work?

It averages the time between your last few taps and converts it to beats per minute. Pausing for more than two seconds starts a fresh count.

What BPM should I practise at?

Start slow enough to play cleanly — often 60–70% of the target tempo — then raise it a few BPM at a time once it feels easy.
