Metronome Routing and Meter Events

Metronome Routing and Meter Events

2003-01-14 by Clay <bass17yl@yahoo.com>

I posted this a week or two ago and never got any responses:

Any way to route the metronome to the sends?  It'd be nice to be 
able to send the metronome out of one of the sub outs to my 
drummer so that I don't have to waste a sequencer track on a 
click.

Also, several weeks (months?) ago I asked about how to 
properly insert meter changes in a song.  Anyone have any 
advice?  The one time I was able to get it to work, I made a 
"song" in Cakewalk that only contained the meter changes (no 
note or CC info) and used E-loader to get it into the XL-7.  From 
there, I layed out the patterns into that song in step mode.  This 
worked and led me to believe that I could do it again simply by 
entering the meter events before building the song (since 
inserting the meter events into an existing song failed 
miserably).  After trying this several different ways, though, it 
doesn't seem to work.  Anyone know the correct way to 
implement meter events?  Preferably without having to go 
through Cakewalk and E-Loader . . .

>>>I don't think you can do this with just the metronome, you still have 
to waste a track on a click.  With 32 channels though, is that really an 
issue? <<<
