Files

Settings as JSON

Export as JSON in the menu saves the current settings to a single file, including the tempo, beats, pattern, progressive settings and tracks.

To load one, choose Import Settings File and pick it, or drop the JSON file on the screen. The current settings are replaced with what you load.

Export an MP3

Export as MP3 in the menu turns the click into an audio file. Set 1 to 20 repeats, and the length is shown before you export.

• One track: the repeats are the number of bars
• Multi-track: each track plays its own repeats, and the whole routine repeats the number of times you set
• Progressive tempo changes are not included. It exports at the start BPM

Record

Record the microphone while the metronome plays. You can also record video from the camera at the same time. Choose Show record button in the menu, and a record button (REC) appears to the left of START (choose it again to hide it).

Each plan has a monthly limit on recordings (audio and video count together). Each finished take counts once, and recording is disarmed when you run out. See the table in the Statistics, plans and help chapter for the numbers.

1. 01Press the record button to arm recording (allow microphone access if asked). The recording panel appears at the top of the bottom bars. It hides when you turn the record button off
2. 02Press START to record along with the metronome. The microphone waveform and the metronome beats scroll in the recording panel
3. 03Press STOP to finish. Click the waveform to play from that point, and choose Save in the panel menu (⋯) to open the save dialog and download the file (WAV for audio, MP4 or WebM for video)

• The panel's buttons sit below the waveform (or the video). The < and > buttons at the left end move between takes, the + next to them jumps straight back to the armed view while you are looking at a take (it does not start recording), the microphone button (the camera for video) switches between audio and video, and the button at the right end collapses the panel (only the buttons remain, and you can still record)
• Pressing the record button while the metronome is playing starts recording right away. Press it again to finish (the metronome keeps playing)
• Choose Count in 8 beats before recording in the panel menu to check it. You then hear 8 beats in a different sound after START, and recording begins together with bar 1 of the metronome (the bar count and timer do not include the count-in)
• The waveform follows the latest audio while recording and the playback position while playing. Scrolling it yourself stops following. Press the auto-scroll button to follow again
• Your takes stay in the history, and < and > move between them (the one after the newest take is the armed view, which is also where the panel starts when you turn the record button back on). Clear history in the menu removes them all after you confirm. They are kept only while this tab is open, and the oldest are removed beyond 10 takes (60 minutes in total), so save anything you want to keep. Each take can be up to 30 minutes
• Recording stays on this device and is never sent to a server
• Through speakers the metronome is recorded too. Use headphones to keep it out
• The first time you press the record button, the recording latency is measured automatically before recording is armed (8 clicks play through the speaker while a dialog is shown, so please stay quiet). If it cannot be measured (with headphones, for example), recording continues without compensation. If the beat lines and your recording drift apart, choose Measure recording latency in the panel menu. It plays clicks through the speaker, measures how late the microphone hears them, and saves the result on this device to line up your recordings (the result appears next to the menu item). Measure again when you change the speaker or microphone
• Switch to video with the panel button to record the camera together with the microphone. You are asked for camera and microphone access, and the camera preview appears while recording is armed. When more than one camera is available, the camera button at the top right of the video switches between them (on phones it swaps the front and back cameras; it cannot be used while recording). The button next to it shows the video full screen, with the panel's buttons and the transport overlaid at the bottom (on phones, switching to video opens it full screen). You can keep recording there. The controls hide when recording starts; tap the screen to show them and tap again to hide them (tapping does not stop recording). In full screen, the camera button at the top right switches cameras when more than one is available. Play a take back in the panel's video (the waveform is overlaid along its bottom), and Save in the menu downloads a video file (MP4 or WebM, depending on the browser)
• In the save dialog you can play the take back as a preview before saving. Options let you add the metronome sound (in the current sound, at the beats recorded with the take) and, for video, add the waveform and beat lines (overlaid along the bottom of the picture with a transparent background), and the preview looks and sounds the way you choose. Adding the metronome sound is meant for takes recorded while listening with headphones (with the metronome on the speaker, it may sound doubled with what the microphone picked up). Audio saves right away, but video with options is rebuilt while it plays from the start, so it takes as long as the video itself. Keep this tab open while it is being made (it pauses when you switch tabs and continues when you come back)
• Unless you add the metronome sound in the save dialog, the metronome is only in the recording or video as far as the microphone picks it up from the speaker (it is not recorded when you listen with headphones). One video recording can be up to 10 minutes, and the history keeps up to 20 minutes of video in total
