Hello all!  I am new here and have not been in the music business or in a studio in decades.  I have been recording my songs (pop/rock/blues) on my home digital studio for years (BOSS BR-1180)...    But now my daughter is composing contemporary classical pieces (think Philip Glass) and it is time to record them.  She has written a Cello and Violin part to a couple of songs.  I have questions th

I am using Pro Tools 12.8. was wondering if there is any way to create a click track to only run and then turn off after a few measures. I am recording with my friend who is playing drums while I am on guitar. We want to play our song live all the way through and want a nice click to begin with that ends after a few measures so that we can flow through the rest of the song.

Hey there,

Hi there,
I'm recording on a HP Envy, via an Allen and Heath ZED 10X mixer. I've tried Sonar LE and Audacity, and in both cases, the metronome gets recorded in the track. Does anyone have suggestions as to reasons and remedies? Thanks.

I'm looking for a metronome vst that does BEATS PER SECOND? Like on an electronic piano

I use REAPER, and its metronome seems to only have one speed (?)

Is it possible in any DAW? mine are DP7, reaper, PT7. As far as a i know i can't do this, and just shut the click off when sections like that come up, and let the band handle the timing. I'd be great if there was a function or work-around that i don't know about, so we could define the slowdown if needed.

thanks!

Hi guys and girls from the forum,

Hi guys. I am looking to use a midi setup with a live 5 piece band. I am trying to use some form of programmable midi tempo/time signature track to also control effects for all the instruments. The effects may be rackmounted hardware or vst(i). I will probably use hardware for the effects and just use a vsti for the drummer's triggers.

What controls the timing for the Click Track/Metronome when I'm recording?
Is it controled by the converters internal clock?

There have been many times where it seems like the metronome starts okay, then slows down at some point.
I'm currently using Sonar 8.5, but also had this problem when I was using a Roland BR-1600CD 16 track recorder.

I'm wondering what most groovin rock bands do when recording. do they use a metronome or not?
