- Problems with the realtime preview when using higher rates:
- It is not possible to completely hide certain areas of the spectrum.
- You have corrected the frequency response of a sample and then analyze the result once again. The result does not match the corrected frequency response (the blue line before performing filtering).
- Also resonance-like sounds arise in wideband band passes.
- In the "Fade start" or "Fade end" filter mode, fading is not applied uniformly.

84 SAMPLITUDE QUICK START
Metronome settings
The dialog "Options > Program settings > Metronome settings" allows you to activate the
metronome function. The metronome may also be set as an audio metronome or as a MIDI
metronome.
Active while playback: This option activates the metronome click during playback.
Active while record: This activates the metronome click during recording.
Pre-count for recording (measures): Specify the number of beats that the metronome
will pre-count prior to recording. If you activate "Pre-count clicks only", the metronome
will stop before recording.
The "Punch recording" button in the toolbar (view page 67)" blinks during pre-counting and
th
e "Record" button blinks in the transport console (view page 52). When recording begins,
both buttons remain active until the end of the respective recording period.
Detailed information about different punch functions is provided in the "manual.pdf"
documentation, in the help file, and under "Play/rec -> Record mode/punch in -> Punch
marker mode (view page 581)".
Audio metronome
First beat/beats: This setting allows you to specify individual samples for the metronome
("volume") for the first beat of each measure ("beats") or the remaining beats of the
measure ("beat").
