Pro Tools Reference Guide152
When listening to the click in your Pro Tools
sessions, the accented note sounds on the first
beat of each measure and the unaccented note
sounds on the remaining beats.
4 Select whether the click is heard “During play
and record,” or “Only during record,” or “Only
during countoff.”
5 If using a countoff, specify the number of Bars
to be counted off. To hear the countoff only
when recording, select that option.
6 Click OK.
To enable a click from the MIDI menu:
■ Choose MIDI > Click.
To enable a click in the Transport:
1 To view the MIDI controls in the Transport
window, select Display > Transport Window
Shows > MIDI Controls.
2 In the Transport window, click the Click but-
ton so it becomes highlighted.
3 To use a countoff when recording or playing,
click the Countoff button in the Transport win-
dow so it too becomes highlighted.
Hearing the countoff before recording is helpful
in getting the feel for the tempo before you be-
gin playing. The Countoff button in the Trans-
port window displays the number of bars to be
counted off.
Wait for Note and Countoff
Wait for Note and Countoff are mutually exclu-
sive and cannot both be enabled at the same
time. If, for instance, Countoff is enabled and
you click the Wait for Note button, Countoff is
disabled.
