click with no accents

[jakulu]

Hey Abletonians,

I'm running the latest version of the software. Is there any way of having no accents of the click?
I'm playing drums with Superior Drummer 3 inside of Ableton and it's so annoying I cannot just get simple, even click.

Best,
Jakulu

I guess you mean the metronome sound.
On Windows you can find the wav files used for the sound here

Code: Select all

C:\ProgramData\Ableton\Live 11 Suite\Resources\Misc\Metronome\Samples

and here

Code: Select all

C:\ProgramData\Ableton\Live 11 Suite\Resources\Core Library\Defaults\Metronomes\Samples

You have to Google for the exact MacOS locations.

Move the Up version of the sound to some other location.
Make a copy of the non-Up wav file and rename it to Up.
Now you have two wav files that sound the same, so no accented Ups.

You can also play a clip in Session View. Not quite the same but mostly the same as a metronome.

Thanks guys, it's a pity the metronome hasn't been updated in the 11 version.

Updated in what way?

Did changing the wav files solve your issue?

The way I use Ableton a lot as a drummer, is to have a template set up where I have one midi layer on which I use Superior Drummer 3 plugin.
The metronome that comes in Abletion natievly is quite basic. It doesn't let me have no accents or use odd time signatures. But, the thing is that I do need the accents sometimes as well, so swaping the files won't help much right?

So what I ended up doing which is what @yur2die4 suggested, which is that I created another midi layer with a click/ metronome sound which works in corespodence of the tempo set for the project. This will have to do for now

Thanks a lot for your input Lovely People!

I use Ableton as a drummer and have set up a midi track with a drum rack on it. In the drum rack are a variety of blocks, claves, cowbells, shakers, beeps so I cam create any metronome/click track that I want using midi clips, either by looping a one bar clip, or creating a bespoke clip for the entire song. I’ve done the same with a cues track by having a drum rack with different words (countin, verse, chorus, breakdown etc) and then creating a midi clip that guides me through each song. Both of these tracks are panned hard left in my in ears so they stand out from the rest of my mix.
