The best suited monkey to this would be an Audio Engineer...lol..
It might be more expensive, but there's a huge advatage: most of them are house-trained, already...

Everybody approaches their equipment differently. Some people just like to dive in. Others will read the manual and any other available information before touching anything. I generally find myself somewhere in between that. I'll scan over a manual quickly just to get an overall idea. Then I'll go ahead and screw with it. When I get stuck, that's when I start hitting the manual harder. After all, certain pieces of equipment of certain genres generally have some things in common. If you have a talent for this, things make them easier to you. If you don't? You'll just have to work harder at it. And you may want to consider the many different professional opinions you'll receive here. There certainly is more than one way to do anything in audio.

It's so cool I get to be a whore!

ha... yeah i agree with all of you guys.....But i DO have the manual and i did read the section on the metronome.... the only problem is... its not adsressing my situation lol.... beleive me... i come here as a last resort... i like to try and find things out on my own... but im completely stumped and i had some issuse earlier with Cubase and my computer.. soim wondering if its something within cubase that im doing wrong orrrr if my computers just crapping out on it lol.... thanks guys for all yourr replies!

you need to read the cubase manual. its that simple.

what you have is a count in right now, not the metronome. you need to turn the metronome on. there are metronome and pre roll settings right on the transport window. thats about as much spoon feeding as you should get.

true, you may need to put newspaper down for live sound guys though.

Nooooo..... i know how to set the metronome up and eveything... all settings are correct and i DO have precount on, BUT i also have the metronome on... the metronome plays for a few measures then then dissappears

Try turning off the precount while double triple checking that the metronome is indeed on. If the metronome works properly without the count in then that tells you something as well. If that were the case I'd look in the detailed settings/preferences for BOTH tools and make sure one isn't overriding the other.

We aren't trying to imply anything other than we have all-and I mean every Mod and every experienced audio engineer-had those DOH! head slap moments.
