metronome volume

[james.]

can it be turned down independantly of the master cause i would like it just as a guide in the background while i lay beats an synths down etc not a massive all powering distraction

if you look through your ableton folder you can find the audio files that are used for the metronome - so you could replace them with another sound, or edit them to lower their volume. Dunno if there's an easier alternative, but this one's not all that hard.

If you have two soundcard outputs activated (for cueing), the metronome goes to the phones, rather than the master / speakers.

You should then be able to use the cue volume...

Or he could just use the cue volume, regardless of using the master out as the only out.
This is one of the main functions of the cue vol.

i can't believe this keeps getting posted!

To make a custom metronome in a few seconds with live, create a midi track, pick an impulse set with a sound you like...mark out a bar of quarter notes, eigth notes, whatever you want, with whatever sound you want, and set the volume....wherever you want.

yeah or you could just turn it down

Where are these files?
