Metronom in Melody Imitation

Post by bobmusic »

In the Jazz Exercises of melody imitation there are melodys of two bars in length and some start with a rest in the first bar. But the Metronom is not playing while listening to the excersise. So, for me, it's more like guessing where the melody actually starts.
My wish is to have the option turning the Metronom permanently on during the whole exercise.

Best regards, Robert

Hi,
In most of the Jazz melody imitation exercises, you get one bar of metronome to cue you in and enable you to catch the pulse. Isn't it these in the exercises you have tried? If not, which exercise(s) are you referring to exactly?

In jazz exercises it's melody imitation 1.5
Yes, that's right, before recording the answer there is a precount bar, and even after precounting the metronome plays through. I miss the option that the metronome plays during the whole exercise, that means also when the example is given. When I have a 2 bar example and the melody starts at the last eights note in the first bar it would be much clearer to hear the beat.

Also I found a bug in the same exercise: There is a 2 bar exercise starting with two quarter triplets. When the exercise is played the second time, the precount starts in the first bar instead in the precount bar (where is then silence) and when it is played the third time, precount is shifted for another bar and starts in bar 2. That's confusing.

Best regards, Robert

Hi Robert,

Thank you very much for the bug report. We have managed to reproduce it, and we're taking care of it asap.
As for the metronome playing during the exercise, I have notified the developers about it so that they may consider adding that as an option.

Hi Quentin,

to have the option for a constant metronome click would be great, thank you!

Hi guys,

It's on our developers' to-do list, so it will be added as soon as possible :)
