Question 1

What tempo is 96 BPM?

Accepted Answer

96 beats per minute is Andante — one beat every 625 milliseconds, about 1.6 beats a second. A bar of 4/4 lasts 2500 ms, so a three-minute song at this tempo runs roughly 72 bars.

Question 2

How do I practise with a metronome at 96 BPM?

Accepted Answer

Start with the click on every beat and play something you already know. When it feels easy, halve the beats — set 2 per bar so the click only marks beats one and three — and keep time in the gaps yourself. If 96 is too fast for a new passage, drop the slider, then come back up in steps of five.

Question 3

Can I change the beats per bar or the sound?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pick 2 to 12 beats a bar under the tempo; the first beat of each bar is accented. Switch Sound to Drums for a kick, snare and hi-hat instead of a click. Tap sets the tempo from your own taps. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.
