Our verdict on The Metronome by Soundbrenner
The Metronome by Soundbrenner combines a metronome, practice tracker, chromatic tuner, rhythm tools, setlists, and wearable connectivity in one app. It is designed for musicians practicing, performing, or recording across instruments and skill levels. The metronome supports customizable time signatures, subdivisions, accents, tap tempo, and speeds up to 400 BPM. Practice tools add goals, streaks, session history, reminders, and instrument-specific tracking, while the tuner supports tuning profiles.
Its strongest fit is a connected practice setup. The app runs on iOS, Android, and macOS, and supports Ableton Link, USB MIDI, Bluetooth MIDI, and Soundbrenner wearables. Setlists and rhythm presets help organize repeatable sessions, while instrument-specific tracking and reminders give the practice features more structure than a basic click track. Musicians who already work with MIDI equipment, Ableton Link, or Soundbrenner wearables get the broadest ecosystem fit.
The free plan covers core metronome features and adds substantial practice functionality, with additional features offered through Soundbrenner Plus subscriptions. The app does not provide a dedicated polyrhythm function; its published approach uses time signatures, accents, and subdivisions for that kind of practice. Choose it if you want metronome functions tied to goals, tracking, setlists, tuning, synchronization, and wearable support. Choose another app if dedicated polyrhythm tools are central to your workflow or if you do not need its broader practice ecosystem.
