live drumming with a click track

Post by WhiskasFX » Mon Jun 07, 2010 4:21 pm

I want to drum along with some of the tracks I've made in ableton. How can I get the click track to only come through my headphone output and the rest of the track go out through the soundcard's external outputs?

WhiskasFX you need a multi-channel soundcard to do this.

You can set up the outputs in Live's preferences. For example Master goes to outputs 1/2 and Cue (click track) goes to out puts 3/4.

On a desktop PC with onboard sound you can usually accomplish this using the surround channels. On a laptop you need an external interface. Mac's you'll need an external card too (i think, i'm a PC boy).
