If you are using any version of sonar above 3, if you have a multiple
outputs sound card, why not use the audio metronome and just set the out put
to a dedicated bus? Then just send the bus's output to say output 2 of the
sound card and plug the headphones/headphone's amp there?
Or just set the output of the metronome to another output on the card? When
you enable the audio metronome that output option becomes available all the
way at the end of the metronome dialog.
 
HTH, D!J!X!

Hi SB.,
 
I found this post which kind of covers what you are talking about.  They are
using a Korg Triton as their midi source but you can use a soft synth as
your midi source.  You want to find a soft synth that will make the metronom
sound you desire so, you might want to go with the Roland soft synth and
choose one of the drum kits.  This is because the kit sounds, such as a
snare, will become your midi metronom based sound.
 
One thing to note is that you will want to set the audio track related to
your midi metronom to the output of your audio card/controller.  If you
still want to have your player hear only the metronom and the sounds they
are playing, you will probably need to have an audio card/controller with
multiple outputs or use more than one audio card/controller.  This way you
can direct the sounds you want your player to hear and you can decide what
you want to hear as the producer. You'd just plug their headphones into the
associated output of the audio card/controller.  All of this can be avoided
if you settle for hearing the metronom as well. smile.
 
Here is the post.  To skip past all the crap leading up to the goods, use
the Control F find keystroke and type "producer".  This will bring you right
to the steps this guy discovered will do what I believe you are trying to
do.

Let us know how it goes.  Someone else might have a better solution here.
 
Good luck.
Stacy.

Thanks.  I figured there was a metronone page somewhere.  I will try this
tomorrow night.  Thanks for the info.  By the way, do you know if you can
send just the metronone out of a single output, say to a drummer's
headphones?  I've pondered on how to do this--muting the instruments for him
would also mean muting the tracks for me at the control helm, right?  I just
don't know if Sonar has an output for the metronone, but I will go see.
Thanks, again for your help.
S.B.

Hi Stacy,
 
Go to menu bar, tools, project, control Tab to metronome, Tab along until
the set metronome as wav or audio (or something like that) and, if you want
to hear it while you play, check that box with the spacebar and, if you want
to hear it while you record, check that box.  You'll notice the settings for
changing the volume levels for the metronome cliks or pings.  they should be
fine the way they are.  Then Tab to ok and that should do it.
 
hth.
  Also, there are no bad questions, ever.
 
SB

Hello.  I've enjoyed reading these post for the past few weeks.  I wish I
was as smart as you guys.  I am somewhat new to Sonar 7 and will probably
post many stupid questions in the next few months.  
My question is:  I can use the hot keys to turn the metronone to a MIDI
synth, but I hear nothing.  (I've been using the WAV sound.)  I assume I am
to run it through one of my soft synths but I don't know how.  Can anyone
give me a brief idea on how to do this?  I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
S.B.
