Metronome (Click) Sounds

[nomatik]

Hello,

I am running PT HD2 6.9 on a Dual G5.

It would seem that my click plug-in only has one click sound to choose from, unfortunately most drummers I work with don't like it very much.

All my LE systems have multiple click sounds to choose from but there is nothing else other then the default on my HD system. Is there any way to import new click sounds into my HD system?

Use an audio track set to tick-based timebase, and record/import any sound you like to this track. Chop it up, and quantize to grid. You can also make this track as part of a PT template, and import it into any session at any time.

this is what I do but don't forget to set the track to be tick based so it will follow tempo changes.

I agree! The click sounds in the click plug-in are not good. ALL the drummers that I record find them unusuable. I know the work-around, but it would be very helpful if Digi would add a few more sounds, such as a rimshot or stick clicks. This would change the plug from useless to useful imho.

A rimshot for a click sound????

The MPC Click (UREI CLICK) has been used as a standard of the industry for about 40 years and hasn't bothered anyone I know save for those who have never worked with it. Most drummers I know don't want another sound already going on in the kit to be the click ....YMMV.

Have you checked out TL Metro?

Derek,

In reading the replies, I don't think anybody stated the obvious thing for you to try first. I'm also on 6.9.

When you insert the click on a mono aux track, you will see the digirack plug-in info pop onto the screen. If you click on the words "factory default", there should be a number of choices for the sound of the click. If that is not happening, things are not as they should be with your system.

Thanks for all your suggestions guys.


Steve,

That's really the problem. It only gives me the factory default option, there are no other options available. My LE system has options but my HD system does not.

Try to choose "Set root setting folder" from the plug-in window. Point it to your "plug-in settings" folder.

I have the choices, but I really don't like any of them either (there's not a way to crate your own settings for the click plugin, is there?). What we have done is to set up the click settings so the click is generated by an external synth. Then we can choose any sound we want. I suppose this would also work with a soft synth.
