Metronome Only Plays When MIDI Is Playing

Post by Be_Far » Thu Mar 23, 2023 12:25 am

Hi,

I have an issue with my metronome. I want it to count in before I start recording, so I have 2 bars of count-in in the metronome dropdown, and the only when recording check selected.
When I go to record a clip, the Cue Out (set to my headphone out, 1/2) and the Master Out (set to my headphone out, 1/2) audio previews both register sound, but I can't hear anything. If I send a MIDI note during count-in, however, the metronome plays. This is still the case if I have the metronome set to be permanently on: it will only play if I am actively pressing a MIDI note, or when replaying a clip it will only sound while a note is being played back. This happens both on ASIO4ALL and MME.

Any ideas? Thanks!
