Here's a fact that the music software industry doesn't want you to know: that click track you've been recording to is based on archaic sounds that have no place in a modern music workstation environment! Most of them were created ten, twenty years ago by an unpaid intern.

Your click track shouldn't be a forethought -- actually, it's a critical element that impacts the resulting quality of your recordings.

We've been working on the solution, and are excited to announce our forthcoming collection of bespoke metronome sounds.

We've recorded a sizable collection of metronomes: everything from classic digital metronomes from the past few decades to that old wind-up mechanical metronome that your childhood piano teacher loved (and that you hated). We also employed several phenomenal sound designers to expertly craft metronome sounds worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster. In total, it will give you a myriad of sounds to select between for your rhythmic inspiration.

Here's a free sample of this upcoming product, a Seiko SQ50, which is included in the '90s category in the collection.

Enjoy, and stay tuned for more news on this exciting new product. Your click tracks will sound so good, you'll be tempted to leave them in the final production!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
