Lead In Click Less Than Even Bars

[MJP]

Is it possible to create a lead in click that's not an even number of bars? By that I mean can you say make it 1 and 1/2 bars (6 beats)? If so, how? If not, is there a way to slide the track(s) ahead by 2 beats after a 1 bar click lead in? The project I'm working on has a stereo MP3 track consisting of a vocal and instrument that I imported that starts at the very beginning of the session but there needs to be a 2 beat intro of drums. It would go something like this:

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 - drum intro for 2 beats - 1 - 2 etc, etc...

It would be nice if you could set the click engine to beat units instead of bar units.

Thanks in advance!

You could create a meter change for 1 bar. 1-2-3-4 (meter change to 2/4) 1-2 (meter change back to 4/4).

Besides that you can use relative grid to slide the mp3 file to wherever you want.

Can't you set a pre-roll of 6 beats?(asking as I have never needed it, but wanted to help)

[MJP]

Both reasonable suggestions. Never used pre roll, so I'm wondering if you can get an audible click on pre roll.

thanks, Mark.
