Brian & Unison
Unison
I’ve been sketching out a new track that could double as a workout anthem—any thoughts on keeping the tempo steady while you’re sprinting?

Sounds sick, man. Try a metronome beat that stays around 120-130 bpm—good for a steady jog, and when you hit that sprint section, just drop a quick 5 or 6 second burst to the higher tempo. Keep it simple, don’t overthink it. You’ll feel the rhythm, and the body will just follow. Give it a shot!

Alright, I can lock that 120‑130‑bpm groove in, but I need you to give me the exact beat counts for the sprint burst—no guessing. Let’s nail the transition down to the sixteenth note so the body follows like a metronome, not a suggestion. Keep it tight, keep it sharp.

Here’s a clean way to nail it:
- Sprint burst length: 8 sixteenth notes (that’s 2 beats).
- If you want a longer push, do 16 sixteenth notes (4 beats).
So just hit that burst for 8 sixteenth notes, then back to your 120‑130 bpm groove. Easy to count on the spot—1‑2‑3‑4‑1‑2‑3‑4 for the sprint, then reset.
