-PRO TOOLS CLICK TRAX-

.

-as of [4 SEPTEMBER 2024]

.

-for [music recordings], it is better to measure [time] in [‘bars’ / ‘beats’] rather than [‘minutes / ‘seconds’]

.

.

*’EDIT WINDOW’ TOP ROW* –>

.

(when you use ‘bars/beats’, you can record to a ‘click track’)

(go to the ‘track dropdown menu’ and select ‘create click track’)

(all the way at the bottom)

(and no KS)

.

.

(youโ€™ve created a new ‘auxiliary input track’ with the ‘click II’ plug-in on the first track insert)

.

*open ‘transport panel’*

(hold down [COMMAND] on your computer keyboard)

(then press ‘1’ on your ‘numeric keypad’)

(the floating ‘transport panel’ opens)

(hit KS again to close ‘transport panel’)

.

.

*the 4 bottom buttons are…*

*WAIT FOR NOTE*

*METRONOME*

*MIDI MERGE*

*CONDUCTOR*

.

(you need to have ‘count off’ + ‘metronome’ buttons on)

.

*count off* ON –>

.

*count off* OFF –>

.

*metronome* ON –>

.

*metronome* OFF –>

.

.

(if you turn on ‘conductor track’, the click will follow the project tempo on the ‘timeline’)

.

(if you turn off ‘conductor track’, you can adjust the tempo manually)

.

(press ‘space bar’ to hear playback w/ ‘click track’)

.

.

*SELECT “CLICK/COUNT-OFF”*

.

.

*you can customize the ‘click sound’ with the ‘output’ dropdown menu* –>

.

(in ‘xpand!2’, choose a ‘big drum sound’ for a stronger click)

(i’m using “big drum 1″…)

.

*to mute tracks* –>

(click ‘M button’ to turn it red)

.

*in ‘transport panel’, you can turn off ‘click-track’ by de-selecting ‘mute button’)

(you can also turn off ‘count off’ by clicking ‘count off’ button)

(the ‘yellow background’ is replaced with ‘black background’)

.

*set meter* –>

.

*double-click ‘meter button’ to navigate to ‘meter change’ window* –>

.

(click on the ‘music note’ button to set the ‘beat unit’…)

.

(when playing in standard 4:4, the ‘beat unit’ i s a ‘1/4 note’)
(aka ‘quarter note’)

.

*’TEMPO DEFAULT’ IS ‘120 BPM’*

*to change tempo, go to ‘edit window’)

(at the top is the ‘song start marker’)

.

(click on the tiny ‘+ button’ to right of ‘tempo heading’ to ‘add tempo change’)

(make sure ‘location’ is set to ‘1|1|000| so that your ‘custom tempo’ starts from the beginning of the track)

.

*to set tempo manually* –>

(turn off ‘conductor button’ in ‘transport panel’)
