4.8 (23)How fast 80 BPM is
At 80 BPM the metronome clicks 80 times a minute: ≈ 1.33 beats a second, one every 750 ms. On the usual scale of Italian tempo markings, 80 BPM falls in Adagietto, Andante and Andantino.
Press Start and the click begins at 80 BPM; nudge it with − and + or the slider. To learn a passage for 80 BPM, start at about 80% (around 64 BPM) and raise the tempo a few BPM at a time — the Pro tab's speed trainer does the raising for you, and its subdivisions add eighths (160 clicks a minute) or sixteenths (320).
