Hi, 1 thing to note, virtual audio cable will only work if you are using
wdm. If you are using asio drivers for your interface, as you know you can
only select 1 device at a time. So this solution wouldn't work then, well
not without some other problems. If you have a saffire interface, this is
where the virtual loopback ports come in handy! BTW, I thought you could
record a click by setting it to run on playback as well as recording? So
that when you mix down the bus will include the click track? I think I did
this once a few years ago, don't remember how, but I know it's doable. Or
maybe I used a physical cable, can't remember.

HTH, D!J!X!

Kevin,

Sonar doesn't allow you to record a physical click track unless you make the
metronome a midi one and route it to a channel on a synth that's set up to
give you a percussive click, such as a rim shot on a snare drum. If you're
using Sonar's internal audio metronome, you can get around this by
physically patching from an output source on your audio interface into your
input source, but you'll need to be aware of creating a feedback loop if you
patch from the same output and input source. A better solution, which is
what I'll be doing at some point in the near future, and that is that you
can acquire a program called Virtual Audio Cable. This will give you
additional ins and outs for you to route things to. If you have your
metronome routed to a Metronome Bus in your projects, you would route it's
output to the Virtual Audio Cable, then set an audio track to the Virtual
Audio Cable so you can record a physical click track. I run into this quite
a bit as I do production for a duo in Florida; They require a couple of
measures of click before each song starts. Sonar doesn't allow you to render
an internal audio metronome to your mix because there isn't a physical click
track to include in the rendering process.

This link should take you to the download section of the Web Site where you
can purchase a 32 or 64-bit version of the software:
http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.htm#download
If that doesn't work, you should be able to Google it or use whatever search
engine you like to find it. It's not too expensive, but it ought to solve
the problem for you.

Hope this helps; and let me know how you make out if you go that route.



Mike

Subject: [ddots-l] Recording a click track using SONAR's Audio Metronome?


guys,

I'm having a senior moment.  How does one record a click track using Sonar's

audio metronome as the source, rather than using one of one's MIDi 
instruments?  Currently, my audio metronome is output to Master.  I thought 
that, if I chose some other output destination for the metronome on my MOTU 
interface, such as Analog, 7/8, I could then choose that as the input on a 
fresh audio track with Master as the output.  However, I can't seem to play 
the click back.  what is the proper routing?

thanks,
Kevin
