How to use

  1. Set the tempo or tap it (T key).
  2. Choose a time signature, subdivision and per-beat accents.
  3. Press Start (or the space bar), or download a WAV click track.

Worked example

At 120 BPM in 4/4 with a subdivision of 2, clicks are 0.25 s apart (60 ÷ 120 ÷ 2) and beat 1 of each bar is accented.

Supported formats and limits

OutputAudio click, WAV click track
EngineWeb Audio look-ahead scheduler (clicks are scheduled on the audio clock, not timers)

Limitations

  • Bluetooth headphones add their own audio delay, which no website can remove.
  • In x/8 metres the BPM counts eighth notes.

Questions

Is the timing steady?

Each click is scheduled a fraction of a second ahead at an exact time on the audio clock, rather than played when a page timer fires, so the spacing stays even. At 120 BPM in 4/4 with a subdivision of 2, clicks are 0.25 s apart.

Can I use it as a click track in a recording?

Yes. Choose the tempo, time signature and number of bars and download a WAV click track to import into your editor.
