Abstract

A system, method, and processor-readable storage medium for providing metronome signals are disclosed. An example method includes receiving at least one metronome timing profile, obtaining an audio stream of a computer game, receiving a player instruction or software instruction, and generating, based on the player or software instruction, metronome signals according to the at least one metronome timing profile. The metronome signals and the audio stream can be combined and output simultaneously. The players can also provide settings for the metronome signals such as a selection of a sound or a frequency. The players can also create and edit metronome timing profiles. The metronome timing profiles can be also shared among players.
