How to Activate the Click/Metronome in Pro Tools 8
I just recently purchased Pro-Tools 8 and been having problems with the Click/Metronome Countoff when I'm recording either a MIDI or Audio track. Does anyone know how I can activate this? It gets pretty hard using a non-sound countoff or trying to watch the beat/measure count when I'm recording.
Thanks Deejay414 |

Re: How to Activate the Click/Metronome in Pro Tools 8
pg 349 and 350 of the reference manual...
Pro Tools provides options and controls for driving a click. The following steps are for configuring and enabling a click using the DigiRack Click plug-in or MIDI. To configure click options: 1 Open the Click/Countoff Options dialog by doing one of the following: • Choose Setup > Click/Countoff. – or – • Double-click the Metronome button in the Transport window. 2 In the Click/Countoff Options dialog, do one of the following: • If using the TL Metro or DigiRack Click plug-in, select None in the Output pop-up menu. – or – • If playing a click using MIDI, select the port number (device) and channel for the click from the Output pop-up menu. 3 Specify the note, velocity, and duration for the accented and unaccented notes. When listening to the click in your Pro Tools sessions, the accented note sounds on the first beat of each measure and the unaccented note sounds on the remaining beats. 4 Select whether the click is heard During Play and Record, or Only During Record, or Only During Countoff. 5 If using a countoff, specify the number of Bars to be counted off. To hear the countoff only when recording, select that option. 6 Click OK. There is a button on the transport you need to activate

Well using Pro-Tools 8 LE with Windows XP and not able to activate it either. I do not have a midi option right now. How can I activate the Metronome as well as the click track.
