How it works
- Set your tempo and meter. Pick a BPM from 30 to 300, a time signature (presets from 2/4 to 12/8, or a custom one), subdivisions and the click sound.
- Choose the length. Count in bars (1 to 999) or in time (up to 60 minutes), and preview the first bars for free before exporting.
- Export the WAV. Download a 16-bit 44.1 kHz mono WAV, rendered sample-accurately so it locks to your DAW grid.
Features
- Sample-accurate rendering. The click is rendered offline with the Web Audio API: every hit lands exactly on the grid, with zero cumulative drift even over an hour.
- Every meter covered. Presets from 2/4 to 12/8 plus custom signatures (1–16 over 2, 4, 8 or 16), with an optional accent on beat 1.
- Subdivisions and four sounds. Add eighths, triplets or 16ths, and pick between beep, click, tick and soft sounds.
- Nothing to upload. There is no file involved — the click track is generated entirely in your browser and saved straight to disk.
FAQ
Is this click track generator free?
Yes. Anonymous users get 5 free uses per day across AudioKit's free tools — no account needed. A use is only counted when you export the WAV; setting up the click and previewing it is free. AudioKit Premium removes the daily limit.
Why export a click track instead of using my DAW's metronome?
Because a WAV click travels. Send it to bandmates so everyone rehearses at the same tempo, feed it to the drummer's in-ears live, drop it on a field recorder or a video shoot where there is no DAW, or keep it in a session as a plain audio file that survives any software change. Inside your DAW, the built-in metronome is fine — the exported click is for everywhere else.
Will the click stay in sync with my DAW grid?
Yes. The file is rendered offline with sample-accurate scheduling, so the spacing between clicks is mathematically exact — no live-playback jitter, no cumulative drift. Import it, set your project to the same BPM, align it to bar 1, and it stays locked for the whole duration.
Which tempos, signatures and sounds are available?
Tempo from 30 to 300 BPM. Time signatures: presets 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/8, 7/8 and 12/8, or a custom signature (1–16 over 2, 4, 8 or 16). Subdivisions: none, eighths, triplets or 16ths, with an optional accent on the first beat. Four click sounds (beep, click, tick, soft), and a length in bars (1–999) or in time (up to 60 minutes).
Why does it export WAV and not MP3?
Because MP3 is the wrong format for a click. MP3 encoding adds a short silence (encoder delay) at the start of the file, which shifts every click off the grid — exactly what a click track cannot afford. WAV starts at sample zero, is read natively by every DAW, and a 16-bit 44.1 kHz mono click is tiny anyway.
