About 45 BPM

At 45 BPM there’s a click every 1.33 seconds (1,333 milliseconds). With 8th notes on, that’s 90 clicks a minute; with 16ths, 180.

On the metronome’s scale, 45 falls in the Largo range (40 to 59): broad and slow.

Slow tempos are the hardest to keep steady. The gaps between clicks are long, so it’s easy to rush. Turn on 8ths or 16ths to fill them in.
