I'm not sure if the Layla card has midi capabilities. The click tracks in CW use either midi or the PC speaker. If you don't have a midi source you can't produce a midi click track. The PC speaker is essentially unusable due to low volume and the fact that you can't route it throught your headphones.

I have Sonar and A Delta 66, which also does not have midi capabilities. I have to have my keyboard (Alesis) plugged in, midi cables, with a midi adapter plugged into the game port and the audio out plugged into the sound board. Kind of a pain but I do get a click track.

Ziggy.......... which Cakewalk do you have? Do you have Drag and Drop Drommer? You can try making a click track from the percussion beats - use a tambourine, cowbell, whatever. Not technically a click track, but it serves the same purpose. You can change the tempo by messing around with the tempo/length/fit to time edit functions. There might be some demo software that came with the Layla card that can accomplish the tempo change as well (wavelab?) Hope this helps.

Thanks for the responses to my quest for a click track. I am using cw9. I can get it to produce a click track, I just cant get it into the headphones..... Layla has midi capabilities.....but I wanted to see if there was an easier way than having a midi insturment connected at all times.
I guess a loop would work.......Thanks, if you have anymore ideas on this please help me out.
I'll let you know if I can come up with a different solution. Thanks

Zig 12+1 -
Here's what I do. I make a midi track of a finger snap (or some other similar sound) one measure long. I then copy the one measure and paste it for however many measures you need for the song. After that I record the midi track to an audio track and delete the midi track. You can then use the audio track as your click track and it will come through your headphones with no problem.
It's a little bit of work - but not too bad. It's even easier in Sonar with DXi synths. With DXi synths you can just "bounce to track" rather than having to actually record the midi. All in all it should only take you about 5-10 minutes to create the click track.
