Default Click count vs Main counter for 6/8

Can anyone explain why, when I have a 6/8 meter, the click still stubbornly insists on counting in 3? Can't quite work out if it's me or ProTools that's at fault here.

Default Re: Click count vs Main counter for 6/8

It looks to me your main counter isn't 6/8 but hard to say because of there resolution. Just that I am seeing a dot in there, and the click plugin isn't like 1-2 would equal 1, 3-4 would equal 2, 5-6 would equal 3 so double-check that first

Might be a bug as well, but maybe it is a config error

I don't seem to be able to get it to just click 8ths no matter what I set the values to. It always ends up sounding like a waltz.

You set tempo resolution in the tempo event dialog and click value in the meter event dialog. So for a typical 6/8, you'd set your tempo resolution to dotted-quarter, and in your 6/8 meter event set clicks to 1/8th notes.

Never even noticed that option before, thanks. Just assumed all functions would be available within the click plugin itself (I know, silly me).

Not sure why this doesn't work when you deselect "follow meter" in the plug-in though? Why doesn't the plug-in play 8ths when it's set to it - i.e. why doesn't this setting produce the same result? It only clicks 4 times, and then misses out the final 2.

Shouldn't there be an additional "meter" option within the plug-in in order to it to click 6 times instead of 4, if you want it to "not follow the meter" ?

Thanks - this makes much more sense now I've become aware of the click option above.

Also, what is the point of having these light up as quarter notes when they're so patently not? Surely they should display whatever click you're actually hearing?

I'm not sure the GUI on this click plugin has been very well thought out really.
