[222Sucram]

Does it have 9/8 time, do any metronomes have 9/8? ive been looking around but no luck

[AaronMaraj]

@DynuhstyzHD Yea. It subdivides into Eighths, Triplets, and sixteenths. Check out :50

[pixusbubblejet]

Do You know how to set it to be tuner?

[CKS5000]

great video i watched one by some guy from musician friend but he didn't do as good a job of explaining things plus couldn't see what he was doing. two thumbs dude.

[Zombi78]

Nice rundown of the MA-30. Much appreciated.

[TempestaRiggs]

Thank you so much for reviewing this metronome. I'm buying one as soon as get online to Musician's Friend. I play extremely fast rhythm passages and this thing would help a lot for me to keep up my stamina and dexterity.

[isaacvelasquez31]

Can you tell more about the time signatures? thanks

[Keaton47]

this metronome is a piece of fucking shit what a waste of 20 billz i cant hear it over my drumset regardless if im playing perfectly or missing every beat, even if im barley tapping the fucking drums, oh and guess fucking what, OOOO plug the headphones in, that dosent work either. piece of shit.

[stringsavvy]

@Keaton47 I don't believe this metronome was designed for usage with a drum kit. I do know that the drummer in my jazz band uses this metronome with our sessions, and just uses louder headphones.

Aside from that, there are other, louder metronomes like the Boss Dr.Beat which are loud by themselves but also have 1/4" output for amplification. If that isn't loud enough, there are also ones used by marching bands loud enough to fill entire fields :P

[pnoyrock76]

@stringsavvy Is this has a earphone output?

[ChrisD1andOnly]

@Keaton47 try hooking up computer speakers to the headphone input

[Davve355]

@Keaton47 The only problem i've got, is that you can only hear the beat in your left ear if using headphones plug in… And that's very annoying… Anyone else who got the same problem ?

[fiercetruth2009]

@Davve355 slightly pull the headphone jack out.

[Virtuoosi6]

Does that have the 7/8 time signature?

[stringsavvy]

Yes, Virtuoosi, You can set a time signature with a count of anything from 1-7, or you can set articulations (8th, 16th, triplets)!

[ksbg247]

I just got one of these, brand new and when I opened it and inserted the batteries the damn thing refuses to start up.

What do you think could be responsible for this Mr. Stringsavvy?

[stringsavvy]

Could be a product fault. Try exchanging it for another?

[chopin65]

I have this metronome. It is the best value for its range. It makes a great metronome for students.

[donnyboy305]

where do the fucking batterys go?

[stringsavvy]

On the sides of the unit are spots labeled "push." Squeeze these two tabs inward and take the metronome apart. The batteries are located on the inside. Snap back together when finished!

Please refrain from using harsh language in the future :)

thanks a lot! im about to buy one.. im a drummer so do you think i will be able to hear it? im dont play super loud but drums are a loud instrument to begin with so.. you think it will be audible? (without the phones)

[ShelterDogs]

I'm buying this for my drum practice too. I've heard that most metronomes, even the higher end ones are hard to hear when practicing. What's nice about this is the pendulum feature. I've got a cheap Quartz one, and it's hard with just a blinking red light. So hopefully this will help. Besides, a lot of those higher end Boss ones don't seem to get very good reviews on amazon. Lots of different problems with them. This one gets a solid 4.5 star rating based on over 70 reviews on amazon.

[winnerbaby44]

yeah.. i already have mine.. since i play mostly with mufflers on my drum kit im able to listen to the metronome perfectly.. and for the price is a great deal! the only bad thing for me is that although it plays triplets dotted 16ths 8ths etc.. it doesent play any off those in odd countings.. you can choose from acentuating 0 notes up to 7 notes or you can chose the triplets, 8ths 16th...

other than that.. its a great deal

[ToOlOGT22]

if your just gonna set it on a table or somewhere close to you, then no, but i have this and i hook it up to my big stero and only like that, i can hear it

[Potteris]

I have this thing and i have a classical guitar,- what I have to do with this metronome to set up my guitar strings?????

[stevieVantanna]

These are cheap on amazon.

[livingroomancaster]

Thanks for this. Nice to hear the sound before I buy one off the internet.

[gongjuboi]

dude that's cool i just bought one today and i found this video lol

[stringsavvy]

Generally metromes have a high pitched click that will come across unpitched- but if you are particularly sensitive to the tone it produces- you could look into a drum machine of some sort though some can be quite expensive. They will generally come pre-programmed with basic beats and often have spaces to save your own.

Many guitar effects processors also have various rock and other beats pre-programmed.

[HolyFife09]

i cant get my korg metronome to work it doesnt have sound help me lol i turn it on but theres no sound and i press mute to see if its on mute but that still doesnt work

[stringsavvy]

If the sound is up and there is still no sound, Its possible that it could be malfunctioning? Try calling Korg- there should be a number in the manual.

[jdean9]

can anyone recommend a compact metronome that produces a percussion-like sound as opposed to a "note". most modern metronomes produces sounds that are perceived as notes, in this case an E note and that drives me crazy unless i'm actually playing something in E

[stringsavvy]

Absolutely! Be sure to check back at my site for updates!

Thank you for watching!

[indiefilmmaker2011]

thank you for this. We own one and my Dad put it into triplets, and I can't play with that. I like duplets. So, this was very helpful.
