Metronomics Metronome vs EarGuru

Metronomics is not only a metronome, but a tool designed to help build a solid sense of time and rhythmic security. Use Metronomics to generate random patterns, sequenced grooves, or a combination of both to help you practice with more than just your typical click track. Enough features to keep a professional busy for years or start a beginner on the right track. Metronomics gives you complete control over how subdivisions are played — add subdivisions of any type (including custom subdivisions like 5/7) and have them played all the time, at random intervals, or in a sequenced pattern. Features: - Choose from a variety of built-in sounds for each subdivision - Generate patterns using random or sequenced variations of different subdivisions - Build drum grooves and use built-in preset patterns such as claves or ride cymbal patterns - Choose any number of beats per measure or practice mixed meters such as 4/4 + 3/8 + 5/4 where the segments of the bar get accented automatically - Use any type of subdivision. Common types like quarter notes, sixteenth notes, eighth triplets, etc., or create your own. 5/7, 23/4, no problem! - Take a rhythm and use the “offset” feature to move it to different parts of the measure to practice with - Set the metronome to speed up or slow down by a given amount after a set number of measures - Have Metronomics start with a countoff - Set the metronome to run for a certain amount of time - Share saved metronomes back and forth with other Metronomics users - Track your metronome usage. See how much you’ve practiced each day and in total, with the option to turn off time tracking - Train yourself with “independence” mode where you can set some bars to be inaudible — keep the time going yourself until the click starts again - Variable swing feel — choose how much each subdivision swings - Speech sounds for counting up to 10 that can be assigned to any subdivision (English language only) - Play in the background - Synchronize with compatible apps and devices using Ableton Link - Normalized sounds for good volume - Manual describing how to use the features and hints about how they might be useful Pro subscription features: - Circle view that allows you to visualize subdivisions as orbiting points - Grid view that lets you easily sequence patterns on a grid much like a drum machine, but with the more powerful features of Metronomics - Inspector mode — graph your own playing with microphone or MIDI input and see how you line up with the metronome - iCloud sync — sync your saved metronomes via iCloud Drive - MIDI output — set subdivisions to send MIDI data to other synthesizer apps or use built-in MIDI sounds - Custom sounds — import your own sounds for subdivisions - Custom time signature denominators — go beyond the usual 2, 4, 8, 16, etc. - Audio export — export metronome patterns as audio files for practice, sharing, or use in a DAW - MIDI export — export metronome patterns with each subdivision on a separate track Within Metronomics, there is an option to upgrade to Metronomics Pro, which is an auto-renewing yearly subscription service.

Only you can do the work of serious ear training. EarGuru helps you do it with three independent modes, each targeting a specific area. In LISTEN mode, EarGuru plays a group of notes, all different, and you try to identify them from lowest to highest. Beginners will want to start with 1, then move to 2. Experts can go all the way to 11 notes if they choose to. In PLAY mode, EarGuru plays a note, or a chord of up to 4 notes, and you play it back as quickly as possible on your instrument before it moves on to the next one. In SING mode, EarGuru asks you to sing a note, and as you're singing, EarGuru plays the note so that you can make sure you've sung it correctly and in tune. All three modes can be used without looking at the screen, using the CONTINUOUS PLAY mode. This app relies on you, as a serious musician, to self-evaluate. If used regularly, it can completely transform your hearing.
