Hi great details thanks. Just one point - once metronome/count in set up and working in the Control Room you need to set the Control Room back to mix otherwise you get the metronome sound but no sound from the recorded channels.

Amazing video as usual!👏👏 I know there is a way to replace that click sound with your own sounds for example I have a kick drum hit that I love and always use but i have to paste it in every time and duplicate it and make sure is on the grid etc if i can just get that hit to replace that click sound it would make me soooo happy and it would sit perfectly on the grid, at this point i will pay someone just to teach me how to do that 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ can you make a video on it? Or I could pay you half hour just to teach me how to? Thanks

Ah now I realize what you meant. Yes you can replace the click track sound with your own sample. I’m not actually doing it in this video but I believe I show where it is. And if you have that, you can also generate the click track as audio in the project like I do show in the video at the end. So then you have an audio track with your sample on the beat.

Nice video 👍 I just have problem with click track. In my project i have tempo changes and after rendering metronome to click track, the volume is changing. I mean in the part that tempo change it also render wrong click sound... Any help?

@LanewoodStudios 11 ай бұрын

Thanks. I never ran into the issue that you're having and can't really think of the top of my mind what it could be. Did you try asking the question on the Cubase forums? Might help to add an example.

@JozefHollyPiano 11 ай бұрын

@@LanewoodStudios Thank you for your response… It only affect the sound in the click audio track after i render it from tempo track. And only at the point, where i have tempo change in the tempo track. I cant find any informations about this issue. I will try to write on steinberg forum. Anyway nice videos from you. Thank you ;-)

@MIsweetshadow Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the video. I have one question though. While playing in 6/8, how do I change the click track to double tempo (12 notes per bar instead of 6) ? Or let's say i'm in 4/4, is there a way to make the click track play in triplets or 16th notes triplets ? If anyone knows i'd be happy to learn more about it.

@LanewoodStudios Жыл бұрын

You can just generate another click pattern for 6/8 time like I show in the video. It quite flexible.

@MIsweetshadow Жыл бұрын

@@LanewoodStudios Thank you for answering that quickly. I just realized that there was a little box with a number in it between the pattern graph and the name of the pattern. Changing the value was all i had to do. It was right under my nose the whole time ^^

@larskronke Жыл бұрын

Does anyone have an idea why the click patterns won't be applied when i set it to default for let's say a 12/8? I want it to accent every 4th click but cubase always just accents the first. I'm using cubase artist 10

No special plugin but it may not be in the Cubase version you have. Check it at www.steinberg.net/cubase/compare-editions/ It's in the recording section.

You basically wear closed back headphones during recording and keep the click level down enough so that the click track does not bleed into the mics.

You literally cant change the time signature to anything but a 4 or 8 in Cubase Elements. You have to have Pro and maybe Artist can do it. Total bullshit. Steinberg sucks for taking SO many deatures that ANY musician pr producer would call essential and they force you to shell out $500 to have those features.
