Guitar Player Magazine says: "This ingenious super metronome was developed by funky-as-hell Sco sideman Avi Bortnick. It will leave out beats randomly to force you to strengthen your own inner time-keeping muscles, and it has other cool features for odd meters, drum machine-style patterns, and more... this is an awesome learning, grooving, solidifying tool." Strengthen your inner sense of rhythm! Time Guru is the only metronome with the ability to mute its sound at random, in sequenced patterns, or both, so that you can assess whether you tend to rush or drag or loose your place with odd meters. Time Guru can periodically leave you on your own so that you strengthen your own internal sense of time, rather than relying on the constant, rigid, external time keeping of a metronome. It's like training wheels that sometimes come up off the ground. Time Guru also features: -the ability to play in different time signatures or sequences of time signatures -create rhythmic drum-machine like patterns -save presets for tempo, meter, sound and muting- -35 loud sound sets; -Human or robot voice counting in English, Chinese, French, German or Russian - great for teaching! -tap tempo (5 to 300 BPM range) -super accurate, rock-solid timing via a customized audio engine. And of course it can function as a normal metronome. NoTreble.com says: "I love the aesthetic and layout of Time Guru. It’s very simple and elegant. Time Guru also offers ability to set randomness of your subdivisions (great for testing your internal clock)….There is one thing that Time Guru does that I absolutely love, and for which, this app will always live on my iPhone – at the top of the screen, you will see a series of numbers (1-7). When you press a number, it is set first in a sequence and you can choose a subdivision that will then repeat that number of times (or set it to rest that number of times). Sound confusing? It isn’t, because the layout is so simple. Every time you press a new number, it is set next in the sequence and you choose your continue to choose your subdivisions."}

I really appreciate being able to save each song time setting individually. I also like being able to choose the sound so I can hear it depending on what instrument I am playing. There’s so much I like about this app!

I used to have to program my old Boss Dr. Beat to mix rhythms. Not with time guru! Easy to customize and combine rhythms with this app’s novel approach. You slap your forehead and think: ‘why didn’t someone think of this before?’.

Helps builds synapses that recognize solid meter without leaning on the metronome to achieve it. One of the most useful music apps ever. Thanks Avi!

I came here after seeing Molly Gebrian’s YouTube video about fMRI research on brain activity when 1) following a rhythm and 2) sustaining a rhythm oneself. Check it out to see why the mute mode of this app might help you be a better musician. “What musicians can learn about practicing from current brain research - part 3 - metronome use”

I’m still a beginner, but this app is fun to use with its “random” feature! I would like to be able to see the time while using the app though.

I use this metronome for its simplest function as a click track, but love the random feature in particular. My only change would be the ability to see the phone’s time, Wi-Fi, battery status line.

The best, most versatile metronome I’ve ever used. Been using it since 2013 and see no reason to try any other. Thank you!

I learned about this metronome through the bulletproof musician podcast, which offers all kinds of great advice for musicians. This is just what I needed, because I need to use the Metronome but I don’t want to get too dependent on it, and this forces me to internalize the bait, while intermittently checking up on my accuracy.

This app is a beast for odd time. It’s great for setting up advanced tempo maps very quickly. Easy to use and very inexpensive. I have spent hundreds for metronomes over the years that are nowhere near as good.
