I've listened to musicians who say that using a metronone makes you robotic, that it decreases your 'feel.' That's ridiculous. Either you have feel or you don't. Feel is one of those intangibles that can't be taught. But if you do have feel, using a metronome will allow you to play cleaner - and that'll make your 'feel' have more, well, 'feeling.

I'll admit that I don't have a lot of discipline when it comes to practicing. I'm not the type of guy who sits at home with a metronome and runs through scales and stuff like that. But I do go through phases when I'll be more diligent, and I notice that warming up and working on some patterns will make my playing cleaner.

So, first you have to be able to play with a metronome. Then you take your freedom. If you play in an orchestra, you got to watch the conductor, he is like a metronome, but it is more difficult because he can change rhythms.

To me, there's no question that using a metronome develops your speed and accuracy. If you're learning scales or you're jamming on parts that you can't quite pull off, it's a must.

I think it's beneficial to practice with a metronome or drum machine in order to strengthen your sense of time. It will help your concept of time and improve your feel.

When you use a metronome, you'll start to notice where the notes are falling, if they're on the beat, behind the beat, between the beat, and so on.

Even Angus says that Malcolm is a better guitarist than he is. He makes the drummer's job so easy, he's a metronome.

I put a metronome up to all the songs, and I tried to really keep it true to the original tempos.

Michael Shannon

The stage is a routine. It keeps you grounded, like a metronome. I find that soothing.

Used mainly for perfecting timing when learning and practicing musical instruments.

Music Practice

Adjust the metronome to match the tempo (speed) desired for the music piece.

Beat Control

Listen to the metronome's consistent ticking to maintain a steady rhythm while playing.

Steady Rhythm

In computing, it ensures tasks are synchronized and done at the correct intervals.

Technical Processes

A metronome in computing can also refer to a function coordinating multiple processes.

System Coordination

The metronome can regulate the sequence in which computing tasks happen.

 that is spontaneously generated, or improvised, in a way that's matched motorically and in terms of lower-level sensory motor features? I have here what we call the paradigms. There's a scale paradigm, which is playing a scale up and down, memorized, then there's improvising on a scale, quarter notes, metronome, right hand -- scientifically very safe,

 Most people would agree that, whoever the geniuses are-- and you could say it's the people that can combine ideas that are staring everyone else in the face, but they somehow connect something that no one's even thought about. Like Mozart's metronome.

What Does 'Genius' Mean?...

 Is time universal? In other words, is there an audible tick-tock throughout the galaxy, a master clock, so to speak, forging ahead like Mozart's metronome? The answer my friends is no. Time is not absolute.
