The timekeeping revolution is here.
Until
now, metronomes have displayed the beat with either an oscillating,
inverted pendulum or a blinking light. The classic pendulum metronome works well for a single
musician, but is difficult to see by more than one musician at a
time. It also cannot be controlled by MIDI or other electronic timekeeping signal.
Cheap digital metronomes often have a small blinking LED but
this is no more easily visible to more than one musician than the
pendulum metronome and also cannot be slaved to MIDI.
An end to rigidity and non-musicality
Anyone with much studio experience has
probably had the misfortune of being asked to record their parts
while listening to a click track. Although we don't know
of anyone who prefers a click track, it is often
a necessary evil. While the LaserMetronomeTM can be used in conjunction with an audible
click track making it much easier to stay on the click,
when used instead
of an audible click, the LaserMetronomeTM overcomes several previously insurmountable issues.
Music that breathes...but in perfect time
The LaserMetronomeTM swings a laser beam back and
forth in time which allows the musician to
see not only where the downbeat is, but where he or she is in
relation to the downbeat....in a way most naturally processed by
the brain and in much the same way that a human
conductor is followed. A click tracks pound the exact
moment of the beat into your ears but the LaserMetronomeTM, like a
human conductor, allows musicians to know their intra-beat position.
Good musicians often wish to push or drag at one or more places
within a song, and this is much easier
to do while using a LaserMetronomeTM. For more information on why the LaserMetronomeTM 'works'..... More-->
