Thank you. OF COURSE a metronome is not used by everyone. No one's expected to use it. But I personally want it. I have a full song going, and Its pretty good (said some friends and random people I asked) but there are 3 metronomes in fl studio 10, and one of them is a beep which makes my song sound better at points. Its hard to recreate. It's not like the metronome is the main beat. I guess you'd have to hear it to really know.

You could just play it and record it from your speaker. I mean: Go to volume settings -> Options -> Properties -> Recording -> OK -> Uncheck microphone and check Speaker or Stereo Mix or Line In (it depends on your computer). (assuming you're using windows) Do not forget to post the result here.

I don't have to hear it to know, I use a metronome for playing bass and it is most definitely the main beat. If your metronome isn't the main beat, your doing it wrong.

Obviously you need to hear it. its a CLUB beat. SO, the metronome is just extra. Plus, like i said, MY metronome is a beep/bell sound. It's just that it sounds really....PLAIN without a metronome. Ill attach what it sounds like without the metronome. EDIT: Never mind, the extension .wav or.mp3 is not allowed (or so says the site) so I can't upload it, but still.

There is a difference between doing it wrong and being wrong, metronomes aren't used to make your song better they're meant for learning to stay on beat and with the rythym. Once you replicate the metronomes sound it's no longer a metronome, it's just a beat. Either way if he wants to use the metronome in his song I'm not going to stop him because technically there is nothing wrong with it, any musician would shun this person for his shenanigans; he clearly has a lot to learn.

Shun me for my Shenanigans? Seriously? Look, Metronomes can be whatever you want them to be. Technically, a metronome can be used for EXACTLY what im using it for now. Maybe Following others is the type of thing that makes you a one-hit wonder like Justin Beiber. Yes, he only HAD ONE top song. Baby. That's it. I don't follow other people. It's not fun, because you can't really say you're original. Plus, How the hell do you make music wrong?! If it sounds good, it sounds good and it'd only sound good if it's well put together. Makes sense? I Know it does.

Using a metronome isn't following others, its what a metronome was made for and it's what it will always be for. Also once you use a metronome in a song its no longer a metronome, its just a beat! It's not original at all you just happen to discover that a constant beat sounds good in your song while using a metronome.

no anything that makes sound can be used in music if you want to make an album using only that squishy sound your hand makes when you masturbate then seriously who is going to stop you??

I'm not even sure what everyone is arguing about anymore, I said a metronome is used as a main beat. Once a metronome is put into a song its no longer a metronome, its just a beat. I have never said that he couldn't put it into the song, or that its a bad thing.
my previous post: Using a metronome isn't following others, its what a metronome was made for and it's what it will always be for.

he had more than one top song s***
why do you think he's still making music videos with f*** chris brown and s***
if he truly was a one hit wonder he would have already been dropped by his record label by now but since he's so talented and usher loves him he definitely is no one hit wonder
also topic maker learn music theory and then maybe you wont look like a complete idiot
