Counting in, metronome - click
I assume I'm making life way too difficult. Advise please . . .
I'm making snippets of click track, one - two bars segments in the original DP file and exporting them to Live. Then I turn them into clips. This is so the drummer can count the tune in and have an on going click track. I have the outputs for his ears only. Can I do the same with the metronome in Live? I mean is this DUH?? Can I set the metronome up, perhaps using different sounds than the standard metronome sound in Live, and send this signal top a different output rather than the House 1/2. And can I set it up as 2, 4 or 6 bars ahead of the point where the song starts? Otherwise I'll set up the count cclicks and set the FOLLOW ACTIONS accordingly.
OK. I see where I can send the cue mix to outputs 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 whatever. How can I set up to start the tune after X bars of count?

Nobody knows? So you can't set a start point for the metronome, like a 2 bar count off?

Hm. OK. Options. Is it also in Live 4.1? I don't see Diverse under the Options menu. I haven't yet found Options in refernce manual. But I need to look closer. Between the Super Bowl and ordering pizza.

Re: Counting in, metronome - click
you can't set the metronome to a different sound (afaik) but you canHenry Robinett wrote:I assume I'm making life way too difficult. Advise please . . .

set the cue to whatever out put you want, this is where the metronome
goes. we do the same in my band. for count ins and such i add
an extra scene at the beginning of the song.
also we don't like the click so we usually make a loop for the drummer to hear, and put it on the first scene of a song in a track and then
remove the stop buttons from the rest of the slots, so it just goes for the whole song.

Yeah, there is in this folder...longjohns wrote:i bet you can change the metronome sound. i'm almost positive that there's a file called metronome.wav somewhere in the program folders
C:\Program Files\Ableton\Live 5.0.2\Resources\Misc
I'm assuming you'd just replace the files (there's 2) for the new noises you wanna use, but keep the file name the same.
