Ableton Forum

Hi Ableton Experts,
I'm familiar with how to listen and adjust the metronome. What I can't figure out is how to route and record the metronome audio without using an external audio interface. Is this a case for Rewire? I guess I could easily Rewire Ableton with Logic running as a slave, but that seems a little hefty for a simple task.

Purpose? It's part of what I deliver to the other musicians & studios I work with (using other DAWs) and to the publisher.

I found the metronome.adg file and I guess I can make clips with midi info....each for every time signature...but that's not ideal.
There must be a way to get access to that signal, either midi or audio.

Come on, that's not so painful to make your own click track...

Regarding your comment about different clips for each and every different time signature -- wouldn't you just need to make one clip with the high pitched click first, and then copy paste like 12 - 16 lower click notes after on each beat, and then you could just adjust the loop length for your various time signatures? Loop 3 beats = 3/4 time, loop 4 beats = 4/4 time, loop 5 beats = 5/4 etc.

If you are specifically talking about routing the audio through a separate audio channel, separated from some other audio stream, but without an external interface, you are going to have a bad time.

If you had an external interface the matter would be trivial:

15.6 Soloing and Cueing

I'm not sure if I'm following you entirely though. Regarding rewiring into Logic -- that's nonsensical. Whatever you are doing with that cue track can be done directly through Live, there's no need to add a layer of complexity to it.
