Version: Weird Metronome 1.4
"Excellent freeware metronome"
Pros: It is very customizable and just works great! I've never had any problem with uneven or "missed" beats. I've copied the following directly from the developer's faq to explain why that might happen on some computers.....
"The beats don't play back evenly for me. What's up?
This is an unfortunate problem with Windows. Timing just doesn't work as perfectly as I'd like it to. I've got the program set up to use the most precise timer available in the system, but Windows still messes things up occasionally.
You could try turning off all the programs that run in the background, such as virus scanners, instant messenger clients, task schedulers, and so on. Apart from that I don't really have any better advice than to get faster hardware. This could include more memory, faster hard disk, faster processor, faster motherboard, better sound card, and so on.
Another thing that might impact performance is if you're running a software MIDI emulator. You'll probably get the best results from using the MIDI hardware on your sound card. Unfortunately this may sound like the pings and pops of an old fashioned arcade game. A more recent and/or expensive sound card would probably sound better...."
There is more info in the faq section that could be useful too.
Cons: Absolutely none!
