Sonar 2, Delta 1010, and metronome? Any tricks for clicks?

[tubedude]

I really need a metronome function and I dont want to buy a seperate soundcard for it. Anyone know what to do here?
What about the onbaord AC98 that came on my mobo? Is there any way to set up the metronome to use that for a click?
Thanks.

Use a DXi. The VSC supplied with Sonar will work fine. You can use a midi cross stick, or finger snap, or tamborene, or whatever you want. Create one measure in Piano Roll and then copy and paste for 50-60 measures.

In fact, you can probably also use Session Drummer fed to a DXi. SD has a click in it, and you wouldn't even need to copy and paste.

Hey, pretty cool, Moskus. Not bad for $10. However, I would still use Session Drummer thru a DXi since it's pretty easy, free and I'm cheap.

I use a Delta 1010 and Sonar and I just set up the metronome in Sonar with the MIDI from our keyboard. I can record metronome clicks with any sound on the keyboard, even tempo changes. If I want it to be a track I just record it and bounce it to an audio track. Works with playback, recording, or both. I hope this is what you were talking about.

....or render one bar as audio, create a groove clip and save it. It should import into any song at the project tempo - even responding to tempo changes if I'm not mistaken.

Cant find a site or price on that plug in, looks like it would do the trick...
