I'm using Live 8 with a Presonus Firepod.
I have 3 microphones going into the Firepod. 1-Vocals, 2-Acoustic guitar, 3-Electric guitar.
I have a midi controller for Piano,Synth, etc.
I have a FCB1010 for triggering clip buttons.
I have all my instruments tracks "Monitor In" and then sent to a Bus that I use as input on 4 looping tracks.

My question is how can I monitor the metronome through my headphones and still hear the master output that the audience hears without them hearing my metronome?

I tried setting the master outs to different outputs (7-8) and then using the cue outs as (1-2) for my headphones and that works except the cue system doesn't let me hear what the audience hears. All cue'd tracks seem to come pre-fader and then the click is too loud or too quiet and like I said I'm not hearing what is actually happening at the master.

Any ideas? I just need to monitor the master (that the audience hears) through my headphones with the addition of a click track that the audience cannot hear.

Thanks!

Haha I think I figured it out already.

I set up a new track and set the Audio From to Master. Then set the Ext. Out to my headphones (1-2) and this does it!
Got the idea from http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php? ... +metronome

Feel free to comment on other ways or how you do your live performance but I'm hoping this has solved my problem.

As a related topic, perhaps someone knows of a good visual metronome with a large display - something large enough to see from across the stage or from the corner of one's eye?

I've scoured the web and can't find anything to do the trick.
