I think the metronome built into the site is somehow faulty. I try playing along with it but it always ends up about half a beat off. I had the same problem with one that I bought. Why can't enyone make a 'nome that works?

It's difficult to make a metronome that will run in a website.

We are working on a new improved version that should fix this issue.

I think you will see the new metronome by the end of this month. I have seen a pretty good beta version, so it should be ready pretty quickly.

I've seen this problem before. My solution was to download the metronome and use it locally as an executable program on my laptop. That got rid of any latency problem due to "streaming" the program over the internet.

Lots of companies make metronomes that work fine. If you bought a faulty one you should return it for a refund or exchange.

Good to hear there is a new GT version on the way, Jon! :)
