Then map the tempo changes so that the DAW plays it back exactly in the way you desire. You can do that by using any DAW, by entering all the notes of that rit/accel part including a little bit of preceding/following bars. This may make it more naturally sounding and flowing than the performance with a strictly even and constant tempo.Īnd you might encounter issues when rit or accel was indicated if you became obsessed with playing in tempo as a result of metronome overuse.Īnd further I could suggest, if you are a perfectionist more or less, I strongly recommend to precisely figure out how you need to execute rit/accel (and optionally the speed/length of fermatas, rolling chords and vibratos etc. So IMPO it is better to do away with it as soon as you think you have learned that sort of basic aspect of any "rubato" tune.Įven if the tune you would play with it is not any rubato or has no rit or accel indicated, I dare say the most of the tunes are better performed with reasonable tempo variations as you phrase it.
But of course we should eventually play as written, or "rubato". Playing a rubato tune with it may seem to be a nonesense, but there is still a point to do so, as doing so would clarify where the up/down beats will be at. I also use it for tunes at the initial stage of learning for the better understanding of them, but it is not as significant as the aforementioned measuring purposes. These uses are chiefly for measuring purpose to track progress of them, and represent over 90% of my metronome use. The percentage is one thing, and also there to consider is what you play with it.įYR I use it for warming up and other physical workouts as well as working on any problematic part of a tune.
