I have used Metronomics for about 2 years now, I’m a long run musician (20 years and counting..) I can say it’s the best metronome ever! You can do pretty much everything you can think of… 3 of the best (optional) features to me: polyrythms, mixed meters, gradual tempo speed variations. And it has many many more features, and it’s cheap… What else could you want more!!!!! :) Thank you Mr Nastos!!!

Description
The Metronomics apps are the only metronomes that give you complete control over how subdivisions are played -- use custom subdivisions (such as 5/7), custom samples, preset patterns, random intervals, sequenced grooves, silent measures, or anything else you can think of to help drive your practice routine.
Metronomics HD not only features a beautiful innovative interface optimized for the larger screens, but also a new set of features, including "Inspector" mode. When activated, the Metronomics Inspector listens to and records your playing (either from an audio or MIDI input) and graphs it next to the metronome output, showing you how in time you are compared to the metronome. It will also analyze your playing and attempt to show you how far away you were from the beat (measurements are precise when using MIDI input and based on audio analysis when using audio input). With this feature, Metronomics HD moves beyond the normal one-dimensional metronome and becomes an even more useful practice tool, with interactive feedback on your playing. You can also choose to play back or export your practice session to listen back to what you played while watching the visual analysis from Metronomics.
Whether in Inspector mode or not, you have access to over 40 different samples for each subdivision, plus the ability to import your own WAV files to use as custom sample sounds. Use any of these samples for any type of subdivision, including common types like quarter notes or eighth note triplets, sequenced grooves like claves or ride cymbal patterns, or a "custom subdivision," such as 7/5 or 25/4. Then, save your preferences and have everything synced over iCloud, allowing you to stay in sync with Metronomics HD on iOS if you also practice with your iPad.
Features:
- Generate patterns using random or sequenced variations of different subdivisions
- Include preset patterns such as claves (including odd-meter claves)
- Choose any number of beats per measure for your time signature, including mixed meters such as (4 + 3 + 5), where the segments of the bar get accented automatically
- Choose from 40 different included samples, or import your own WAV files
- Use any type of subdivision, including custom numbers (5/7, 13/4, etc)
- Move rhythms to unusual parts of the measure with the "offset feature" -- think quarter note triplets, starting on an offbeat
- Sync your saved metronomes and presets between the iOS and OSX versions of Metronomics HD using iCloud
- Email saved metronomes back and forth with other Metronomics users
- "Inspector" feature graphs your playing alongside the Metronome, using microphone or MIDI input
- Play back or export your playing with the metronome
- Swing feel, with customizable swing amounts

The best metronome available
Wonderful!!!
I have to admit that before purchasing this app I was hesitant, but after using a little this metronome, I had to change my mind: it’s a great app, one on the best metronome ever. It’s possible to increase automatically the speed by increments, study polyrhythms (tha’s one of the main reason I bought it) and study tuplets. I would have given it 6 stars!
Beginner stymied from the beginning
The features look pretty cool and probably would be for a more advanced musician. I’m close to a beginner so possibly I’m missing something obvious but the first thing I wanted to do was play a song in 6/8. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to set the beat to eighth note. Am I supposed to double the tempo and use quarters? The metronome feature on Guitar Tuna lets you set a time signature so I assume this is a common function. I tried emailing for support but the email bounces
Very Fine Tool
Fabulous app! The Inspector mode is a really powerful and wonderful new tool. The metronome is boundlessly customizable - to the point of being almost a full-fledged sequencer/drum machine. Includes “rhythm training” features, like cutting out for x measures and coming back, or programmed speed-up practice sessions (has timer but doesn’t calculate time of practice session automatically) Odd time signatures, polyrhythms, and swing are no problem for this app. Features stochastic fill beats that you can dim as another way to “build rhythm security." The inspector mode is the best part of the app though. It almost turns my drumming practice into a video game, and i’ve only used it for a day. Now for every beat, I can instantly how close I was to the metronome click, and whether i was ahead or behind. This could be used even beyond musical practice for mindfulness practice in theraputic applications. I look forward to the inspector mode being improved and added to… I would like to see better live feedback mechanisms. As it is, there are red dashed lines appearing at the peaks in your the waveform against the grid of the metronome. There is also a “last peak” number in the upper right which tells you how close your last beat was to the metronome click - as a percentage of the duration of the beat. It would be nice to have more color-coded instant feedback whehn you’re playing, to make practicing even more like a fun video game (maybe even rewarding harp sounds - or pretty droning string harmonies start to play when you’re on a role of good timing) . Also, an explanation of “Peak Average” (is it really a true average? More useful would be an average of the absolute values, or an RMS). Finally, to be able to set the inspector to milliseconds instead of percentages as an option. But the point of this review is really, WOW, and THANK YOU, and Nice Job. This is a quite a fine app. Virtually no bugs. Runs great on my old machine. Great GUI. Good Help page on the internet. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to practice a lot and imbue their inner worlds with synchronicity.
far and away the best
i’ve tried a lot of metronome apps for MacOS, WIndows and iOS. This is the best. It has all of the features that I’ve always been looking for and tons and tons of others. Even with all of the versatility, it is very straightforward to just use this as a plain old metronome “right out of the box.” I love the “Inspector Mode,” in which the app records your playing and analyzes its accuracy relative to the beat. It has a great “visual beat” which functions like the conductor being watched out of the corner of your eye.
Du sérieux
Je nai pas encore exploré cet app à fond, mais en quelques clics jai pu me rendre compte du sérieux de lentreprise. Ce métronome original et bien pensé complète loffre existante (comme le très bon Tempo et lexcellent Clockwork) et apporte du nouveau dans ce domaine. Les pros apprécieront particulièrement.
Super métronome
Vraiment génial, on peut faire à peu près tout ce qu’on veut comme schémas rythmiques, ce qui change d’autres applis mal conçues. Le mode « inspecteur » est aussi très pratique, il permet de mesurer la la précision du jeu en enregistrant ce qu’on joue. Super bien pensé je trouve. Manque juste de pouvoir faire un « fast forward » sur l’écoute des résultats et l’app est parfaite pour moi. Bisous
