Using a Click (Metronome)
A click track (also known as a metronome) gives you a steady time reference while recording guitar
tracks. Eleven Rack session template sessions include a click track already added and ready to go.
Pro Tools also provides a menu command to quickly add a click track in one step.
To use a click track:
1 Choose View > Mix Window to display the Mix window.
2 At the top of the track, select the Click plug-in.
3 In the Click plug-in window, click the Librarian menu and pick a sound. You can pick a cowbell,
sidestick, and other common click sounds.
4 Select View > Transport > MIDI Controls to view the MIDI controls in the Transport window.
5 Click the Metronome Click button so it’s highlighted blue.
6 Now click Play in the Transport window or press the Spacebar to listen to the click.
To create a click track in a new session, you can quickly add one by choosing Track > Create Click
Track
. Pro Tools creates a new Auxiliary Input track named “Click” with the Click plug-in already
inserted.
