eh? what do you mean by double times? I set it to 60 and i get one click per second... isn't that normal?

Also, regarding it lagging, I think that depends not on internet latency but on what processes you have running on your computer/if you use your computer at any time. For example, if I alt tab, it will lose a portion of a beat- but I won't be alt tabbing/browsing internet/etc while playing ;)

I still think my Seth Thomas pendulum metronome is sexy - even if it doesn't keep even time anymore.............

Manny, Which one are you referring to, DB88 or DB-12?

crowmadic · 12-01-2006, 08:48 AM

rowuk,
is your metronome design too lengthy to post here? If not, instructions to build one could be useful.......thanks

crowmadic,

If you really want to build a good one, buy the DB-88 and the DB-12, disassemble them, reconstruct one with the features suited to your use. Of course, you should first take a two year course in the Cleveland Institute of Electronic Technology if you have not already. It is a very simple course and you should be able to finish it in 9 months if you have nothing else to do.

Toothbrush not included.

And now for someting completely different...

The Tama Rhythm Watch is great. It's good and loud and has tons of different options that are easy to use. I find it much more user-friendly than the DB, yet the capabilities are just about the same.
