Click during Count-In

Activates a musical count-in that is played when you start recording from stop mode.

In the Count-In section, the following options are available:

Use Bars & Beats Count-In

The following options are available:

  • Number of Bars in Count-In

    Allows you to set the number of bars that the metronome counts in before recording starts.

  • Time Signature at Record Start Position

    Activate this to let the count-in automatically use the time signature and tempo set at the position where recording starts.

  • Time Signature at Project Position

    Activate this to let the count-in use the time signature at the project position.

  • Use Custom Time Signature

    Allows you to set a time signature for the count-in. In this mode, signature changes in the project do not affect the count-in.

Use Time-Linear Count-In during Pre-roll

The following options are available:

  • Count-In Click Count

    This allows you to set the number of clicks you hear during the pre-roll, before playback or recording starts.

  • Interval in Seconds

    This allows you to define a time interval for the clicks. You can calculate the position of the first click by multiplying the count-in click value with the specified interval and subtracting this value from the position of the left locator.

  • Emphasis

    This allows you to select an emphasized click. This is useful if you want to have an audible difference between the first and/or last click and the other clicks.
