No Metronome Settings?

Post by slinky005 » Sun Aug 22, 2010 8:07 pm

Is there no way to adjust any metronome settings other than count in?

Hi, what settings do you want to adjust? Volume, tone?

Use the cue volume control on the master channel.

Why not creating a click track? (impulse on a track containing a sample or two that don't sound annoying)
that's how I do it.

You can replace the default metronome sounds. You have to do it manually for each new Live version, though.

The metronome wavs can be found at:
(Mac) live app > right click > show package contents > contents > app-resources > misc > metronome > samples

and as Tone helpfully pointed out on PC:
C:\Program Files\Ableton\Live 8.1\Resources\Misc\Metronome\Samples

I replace mine with a neutral Logic klopfgeist click.
Also, I use the same sound for both the up- and down-beats.

Sounds kind of like the proximity tracker in Aliens... grab 'em here if you like:

Cheers Paddy that's useful info.

Btw I enjoyed that interview with you and Michael that I caught on Youtube recently.

For those that may be interested it's in 8 parts and starts here:
