1.What is the best way to make a click track?
2. What seems to work bests for tones?
3. What seems to work best 1/4 1/8 1/16 notes
4. BPM verse tempo of song ...I'm not sure if BPM more like tape speed.
Thanks for help on this subject.

In Reaper:
Select File > Project Setting > Project settings tab. Set the BPM (Beats Per Minute)
Then
A simple metronome is available under
Insert > Insert/Click Source
Hilight the resulting item and hit "Ctrl+F2" to change parameters.
Drag the edge to loop to the desired length.
Hope that helps,

good questions! and answers. I always wondered that too.
-
Hey Nick,
Is BPM = tempo of the song or is it speed of the recording software?
-
BPM = beats per minute
tempo for the song
Sonar guys, is there a shortcut for adding a metronome to a track somehow?

Thanks Ray.

For a nominal fee, I could come over and pop my knuckles in time for you. I'll even bring my own mic. ;)

Cuts like a knife ::)

I don't know if I should believe you guys or what about the cowbell.
So far I've found standard click in Reaper is a click sound, but it looks like you can install what ever sound file you want.
-
it was a serious suggestion. many session drummers prefer the cowbell because it really cuts through a mix. suppose there are two approaches... the cowbell, where you can always hear it over your own playing and the mix... vs. something that the tracking drummer/musician can oly hear if his/her timing is off.

Something silly.

Thanks Letizia.
Tricia,
I saw Christopher Walken on SNL many years ago doing the orginal cowbell skit
and that's why I thought these guys were making a cowbell joke.
-
that walken skit is hilarious! :)
as much as cowbell is ridiculed in the music world... as a click, it's pretty popular.

It is the loudest in my mix. :o ha ha
-
Could either of you guys post a cowbell sound file that has worked out well?
Do you want the cowbell on the downbeat or on every 1/4 note ?

I knew we went down this road before!
