Re: Best/easiest way to generate a click for Mix+
I always just used a sample (or a couple of them) and arranged them on the grid and then duplicated as much as needed. It's easy enough to do, but is a pain if you change the tempo. An alternate way is of course to make a midi track to play a drum machine or sampler and print it back, that way you don't use up an input... if you have a console you could of course use the drum machine via midi and just output it through the console and not use up an input or output for the click. and midi follows tempo changes, unlike samples on the grid. I have tried using kontakt but the midi timing via the IAC bus was terrible.
moving up to 6.4.1 not only gets you the click plugin, but the ability to use Reason or another software sampler via rewire to play a more elaborate click track. in my experience, the midi timing is MUCH better in OSX than in OS9, at least when it comes to software instruments.
