Some people say that practicing complex time signatures is really only effective with a physical metronome, but others think online metronomes can do the job just as well. I’ve been trying to learn some odd meters like 7/8 and 5/4, and I wonder if these free online tools can keep the timing accurate for those strange rhythms. Has anyone used an online metronome to practice pieces with changing or irregular time signatures? I’ve noticed that sometimes these metronomes are great with a steady rhythm, but I’m not sure if they handle complex patterns without messing up the beat. When switching between different time signatures in one session, do online metronomes adjust smoothly or feel clunky? Also, can they keep the BPM consistent throughout long practice runs? I’m curious about the pros and cons from those who depend on them for this kind of practice.
