Hi there. I'm new to Cubase and I have stupid question. I've been having problem with the metronome. I want to be able to keep the metronome running as reference while recording. However, I found that the metronome clicks get recorded (softly) as well and I can't get rid of it. (I ticked the box for audio click and click while recording). Am I doing something wrong or is it not possible to have audio click while recording but not recorded?
I noticed there's there option of MIDI click, but I'm using a mac and I don't know how to set up a MIDI output. (I'm using Lexicon Alpha which doesn't have MIDI).
If anyone can give me some tips that'll be great. Much appreciated! =)

May 20, 2008 05:07 am Your click is bleeding thru? Adjust your speaker/mic placement or try recording thru headphones.

May 20, 2008 06:53 am I do record through headphones. The click bled through not only when I mic-ed an acoustic guitarbut also when I was recording guitar direct in via a line 6 floor pod.

May 20, 2008 03:02 pm ok thats just odd. I've never encountered that problem. Let me think on that for a bit and see what I can come up with.

May 21, 2008 12:31 am Thank you. I'm using a Lexicon Alpha if that helps.
May 21, 2008 02:32 am Can you post a clip? The only way the click will get recorded is if the output is being routed to the input. Are you using a mixer infront of the lexicon? If you unplug the mic/guitar and record silence, does it still record the click?
May 21, 2008 09:44 am i had the same problem a while back, what i did was turned off the click. and programmed a hihat/snare in a midi drum track instead, worked fine for me, only problem was latency, so i had to ajust the time bar to compensate (which i used a click for, seeing as it is playback not record there is no bleeding of click into track)
it's a complicated way of doing things, but it works, maybe until the real problem is solved, you could use this solution

May 21, 2008 06:25 pm I've never heard of this issue or had it with my setup. Thats weird cause I have every problem possible most of the time. Have you tried the official cubase forums?

May 22, 2008 03:07 am No I don't use a mixer. I think I wil try creating a rhythm track with Garage Band and import it to Cubase and see what happens.
