Sending a Click Track Out for Performances

[Digable Dialogue]

When performing live for stage, we perform with a drummer. I send him a monitoring headphone mix out from the AKAI EIE interface headphone output while using the main outs (outputs 1 & 2 out of 4 total) for the main Front of House mix.

My question is how would I send him a click track that would change it's BPM as I perform BPM shifts song by song? I would need the click track to not be heard through the main FOH mix.

I believe if I got a click on an actual track that could follower the master BPM, I could send it out of my unused output 3 & 4 so it would not be heard by the audience.

You can use Scenes to do tempo changes, just right click on them and you'll see the option. In the I/O on the Master, set the CUE out to 3-4, then the metronome will not go through the Master out. Or, use clips as a click and set the output to 3-4.

...or you could try ClyphX, where you can use the clip to change tempo (or anything you like) instead of scenes.

Looks very cool. I am going to check that out myself. Thx!

Love the idea of just using another column of clips and launch them with my scens. I'm assuming I just create a four bar loop clip with a click sound I put on it?

Also, how do I initiate the click track on that Master CUE? Will a click automatically sound or is there any other set up I need to do to that CUE in the Master I/O?

Thanks
