[hoppa]

Hey there ive just received my copy of sonar 7 the producers edition. I am running it through a new laptop Acer Aspire 5349. and using the fast track M-audio interface.

I think you just have your metronome set to "play while recording".
There should be a button somewhere on the interface to turn it off.

I suggest reading this for more info, as I'm not familiar with that DAW. Metronome in sonar is driving me crazy
