Adding a Count-in to Match the
Timing (Count-In)
Timing (Count-In)
When you’re playing along with a song, you can make
sure that your playing is in time with the song by
sounding a count before the song starts playing.
Sounding a “count sound” leading up to playback of a
song is called “Count-In.”
On the ep 880, if you playback a song while the
metronome is sounding, two measures of lead-in count
will be heard at the beginning of the song. See also
“Sounding the Metronome” (p. 19).
