Gentlemen! I'm sorry for the rather stupid question, but still. The band and I had a need to quickly switch the metronome during concerts (we played a song, immediately started playing the next one). With an iPhone lying in your pocket, this is impossible, because you need to get it, unlock it, switch the tempo, lock it and return it to your pocket, which takes a lot of time. What do you recommend? Is it worth buying some inexpensive ice module (I knocked on the pet - the right meter went into my ears) or can I somehow manage with just a laptop? Who uses what?

Play without a metronome at all, why don't you need it
runner
I don’t trust myself enough to play without clicking.
With or without a click - everyone's personal choice. The metronome gives me confidence; with him I know for sure that the song will sound exactly the way it was written. Let me give an example of Mr. Ulrich: he plays without a meter and constantly pounds, as a result of which many songs lose all quality and fat (for example, the legendary "Sad But True", which I personally simply cannot listen to live). So here to each his own.

if you need a click, play with it, and don't bother sending those who are rinsing your brains with stereotypical nonsense. There are a lot of approaches to the performance of music. And if you play with a playlist, then you can't do without a click at all.
In general, the easiest option is to install Frozen Ape Tempo on the iPhone, it supports playlists, moreover, it can expand this playlist to full screen, and switches from song to song with one touch.
Total-the recipe is as follows:
Install FrozenApe Tempo - prescribe a concert playlist - disable auto-lock in the iPhone settings - put the phone nearby on a chair - expand the playlist to full screen and play :))

I played hip-hop with samples, the meter gave me a DJ, because it was not realistic to switch the meter, everything was a mixtape. And yes, for android there is drummers metronome - a great thing.

You can record a click track, for example. In some topics, we change the pace several times.
You figure a track like this (in a sequencer, for example, or GP), and then you throw it on your phone.
There is such an option.
runner
Thank you all for your answers! Apparently, the option "long headphone cord + phone on the floor" is really the most convenient.

Do your guitarists have their instruments upset or what? How can you play an entire set in a row without ever adjusting? Our guitar tunes through each song.
runner
Naturally, not the whole set. But 2-3 songs can be played in a row.

A tricky move
Doing a metronome track in the sequencer
You download all the tracks to your phone. Prioritizing the playlist
You take the headphones with the headset and set up the button control in the player.
Double click - next track. That's all, it takes half a second to switch.

What about the volume of "Frozen Ape"? Just bought a headphone extension cable and realized that the already not very loud "EUM Pro Metronome" (below) began to sound unacceptably quiet. Will "Frozen Ape" be able to compensate for the 5m extension cable?
insider
headphone amplifier - solves this problem))
runner
The fact is that the music through the extension cord sounds at normal volume, but the metronome is very quiet. So I came to the conclusion that the problem is with the metronome, not with the phone's sound processor or headphones :)
pavel_drumsss
yes, it is loud, plus it has a bunch of different click sounds to choose from, among which there are very "punchy"

I use the same pro metronome, no problems with the volume. Playlists are compiled by one-touch switching, everything is very convenient) I put the phone on a chair next to it, or on the one next to it, or on a couple of my own covers, and turn off the auto-lock. The ears of an ordinary one are quite long, everything is comfortable. Frozen is also good, but he did not suit me, because I didn’t find it broken, a year ago, when I was looking for it, but in principle I won’t buy software))
runner
I just love to get up during concerts, so I miss the usual wire :)

And if you buy a cover that clings to your hand for athletes, and cut out a window in plastic so that you can press the screen, is not enough?))
runner
By the way, also a thought.

any bullshit on the shoulder will hinder the movement of the hand, or at least cause discomfort. Personally, I took off all watches and bracelets when I wore them without taking them off, even while sleeping. I knew people who even took off their fingerprints for the same reason.
aroma
here as anyone, it is necessary to try. I even had to get used to outerwear, with very long and wide sleeves, now nothing interferes) you can attach this thing to the sleeve of a Velcro T-shirt and to the leg, or you can buy a bicycle holder and hang the phone on the rack, for example)) there would be a desire, in general)
kreker
Yes, I didn’t get to the Philharmonic jacket and military uniform right away, but I’m used to it) But there are parties - don’t hit the lying one. And when you really need to blame, then down with the T-shirt.

If you buy Frozen Ape premium, then it will just be possible to control it from an iPhone headset, play-stop, trace. track, previous, like songs karoch.
(On the blacked-out screen of the office)
And yes, through a 5 meter extension cord it works, you can hear it perfectly. I played it myself at the concert
andreevmaxik
and what is not a simple physical meter on the side of the counter?
hammered the whole set into memory and that's it. one-key switching.
no need to stretch, a cord and a short one will do.
amdm
well, so the cost is. still carry it with you. and clamps / rack to stir up)
to me, for example, as a student living in a hostel and carrying all the Staff on himself - not an option at all)
andreevmaxik
aggravating circumstances were not described in the context of the task.
plus I also carry everything on myself: a small one and sticks in my left hand, a pedal and electronics on my right shoulder, cymbals behind my back. plus personal belongings and a catering unit. and nothing - alive.

Zymi seems to be called, the norm is a meter, you can save by the name of the topics.

In the very EUM Pro Metronome there is a function that will automatically switch tracks for you. You just specify the number of measures for the tempo, and it automatically jumps to the next track. The order of the tracks, of course, can be set by yourself.
runner
Yes I know. But a concert is such an unpredictable thing. Few people will be late, and everything flies at once. So only manual switching, only hardcore :)
