Can I run click tracks and backing tracks live without a laptop?
Yes. Metronome Map 2 plays the click, count-ins, voice cues and your backing-track stems from a phone or tablet. Pan the click and cues to one side and the band to the other, then use a stereo split cable or an audio interface to send the click to your in-ears and the backing tracks to front of house — no laptop or DAW in the chain.
How do I turn a song into a backing track?
Import your own audio file. AI separates it into vocals, drums, bass and other on the song’s beat grid. Mute the part you play and practise or perform with the rest, or export a stereo WAV backing track with the click and cues on their own side (Pro).
What is Metronome Map 2?
Metronome Map 2 is a metronome app by PM Technology that follows the structure of a whole song. You map the sections and bars once, and the click, count-ins, spoken or recorded cues and note pages all follow that map in rehearsal and on stage.
Is Metronome Map 2 free?
Yes. The metronome, song maps, cues, notes and set lists are free forever. AI works on 1 whole song a month for free. Pro costs US$4.99 a month or US$39.99 a year and adds full-song AI for 30 songs a month with no ads.
Can it handle odd bars and time signature changes?
Yes. Set the song’s time signature, then add odd bars wherever the song changes, such as a 2/4 pickup or a 6/4 turnaround. The click follows the real grid of the song instead of a fixed count.
Is Metronome Map 2 on iPhone and Android?
It is out now on Google Play for Android phones and tablets. On iPhone and iPad it is in beta on TestFlight, with the App Store release coming soon.
Can I use songs from YouTube?
Yes. Paste a YouTube link and the video opens in the official YouTube player inside the app. Tap along with the video to set the beat yourself and add sections while it plays; when you practise, the video then follows the click. The beat is not detected automatically for YouTube and the app never downloads YouTube audio — AI beat detection and stems work on audio files you own.
Which files can I attach?
mp3, m4a, wav, flac, aac, ogg, aiff, mp4 or mov, up to 150 MB. Uploaded audio is processed on our server and deleted within 30 days; results are stored on your phone.
Does the click stay in time with the stems?
Yes. Click and stems run on the same audio clock and every click is scheduled ahead of time, so there is no drift.
Can I use it offline?
Everything except the AI features works offline, including stems you already downloaded.
How do I cancel Pro?
In your Apple ID or Google Play subscriptions. Pro stays active until the end of the paid period.
