How Do I Change The Metronome Sound?

Anyone know if its possible to change the built in metronome sound? I want to make it so that it doesnt accent the downbeat with a different tone. Just the same click sound each beat.

Thanks.

I have wondered this in the past, and I'm pretty sure the answer is: you can't. The solution is to just make a midi drum loop instead.

I would love to be proven wrong on this.

The metronome sounds are inside the Ableton folders

called

metronome

so you can replace them.

Or make your own clips, as noted ^^^

Ive searched my files and dont see that file anywhere. Can you be more specific in terms of file path... I should note Im on a mac.. although Im sure its similar to the file structure on a pc.

Thanks.

Ah word, there the files are indeed.

To find them on your Mac...
1. Right-Click (option click) on Live.app
2. Show Package Contents
3. Contents
4. App-Resources
5. Misc

The metronome WAV files are in there. Good to know.

Finally, my sneeze/belch metronome has come to fruition.
