Nothing, different words for the same thing.Very basic question:
What is the difference between a measure and a bar?

Hmm, I have a Boss as well. It has a little digital needle that moves from left to right and the beats come when it hits either side. Obviously the needle moves faster as you increase the tempo. If I set it to 4/4 it ticks on the outer edges and beeps when it's straight up and down (directly in between the sides, indicating the & strum).rcsnydley wrote:helloworld wrote:Is there anyone else out there who can chime in on this one. I have never seen a metronome that counts 8 beats on a standard 4/4 time signature. Does your metronome have a setting for 1/4 notes and 1/8 notes?No, a digital metronome of decent quality set to 4/4 will click 8 times per measure, once per 1/8 beat. It clicks four times per measure when set to 0/4.

I have a really good Boss digital metronome and in "normal" mode it plays 4 beats in 4/4 time. But I can set it to play in 1/8 or even 1/16th notes. And you can set the volume to accent whatever beat you want to hear.
Like I said, I think playing 1/8 notes gets too busy to play along with.
Cheers! :cheer:
Sorry, mine is a Korg. I had it out last night and was scrolling through the options, and there are some for triplets, and other strange accents as well.I have an inexpensive Boss and it counts the 1/8 notes as well. As the needle goes back and forth, it beeps at each side for the 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &. When it reached the last &, it makes a different tone, to let you know you have finished 4 full beats.
I can also set it so it beeps half way between each side as well......
