metronome click in Pro Tools. This ensures that recorded material, both
MIDI and audio, will align with your session’s bar and beat boundaries.
Aligning track material with beats allows you to take advantage of many
useful MIDI editing functions in Pro Tools. It also enables you to arrange
your song in sections by copying and pasting measures in Grid mode.
To set up a click track, use the TRACK > CREATE CLICK TRACK command.
This command inserts the Click II plug-in on a new Auxiliary Input track. The
Click II plug-in is a mono plug-in that creates an audio metronome click
during session playback. You can use this audio click as a tempo reference
when performing and recording. The Click II plug-in receives its tempo and
meter data from the Pro Tools application, enabling it to follow any changes
in tempo and meter that have been set in a session. Several click sound
presets are included for you to choose from.
To create a click track, do the following:
▪ Choose TRACK > CREATE CLICK TRACK. A new click track will be
created in your session.
To configure the Click II plug-in, do the following:
1. Choose OPTIONS > CLICK to enable the Click option, if not already
active (or enable the Metronome button in the Transport window).
2. From the Insert panel for the click track (Mix or Edit window), click on
the CLICK II insert nameplate. The Click II plug-in window will open.
