My band really like to rehearse with a metronome. Problem is some of our songs have tempo change mid-song. Im just wondering if there is a metronome out there where you can set a BPM for X amount of bards/cycles and then set it to change to another BPM after that automatically. If not, is there any other tricks we could use? Thanks. |

You don't need any fancy sounds, but it needs a good sequencer that will switch tempos (not all drum machines do this).

edit: anyway - use some simple soft [eg. reason] or drum machine to program 1/4 bar clicks, export to mp3, transfer on a mp3 player, earplugs etc.

| | | | For the record. My drummer is not a novice player. He is a professional, and likes to play professionally. Meaning he likes to rehearse the songs to a metronome. He doesnt need a metronome, he just prefers it. |

Your best bet is to get some DAW on a laptop and do it on there, eg garageband etc. They normally let you set the tempo different halfway through. I'm not sure of any hardware solutions.
