How do you do it in Samplitude?

Hi y'all,
I've got the latest demo version of Samplitude. Do I have to create a click track in Acid or Fruity Loops, and then import them as wave files into Samplitude, or what? What's the best way(order) to do drums, bass, guitar in Samplitude?
Also, I recorded a singe channel of my guitar. I copied into another track, and panned it to the right. I don't hear any guitar coming out of my right monitor. Any ideas?

Stuff used: Aardvark direct pro
AT 3035
Cakewalk pro audio 9.0, fruity loops, Acid, Samplitude demo

Thanks.
 
I've used the demo several times, and yes, there is something like a metronome, but it busted all the resources from my comp when I tried to use it.

Don't know why

Go into the system menu in Samplitude - under MIDI

You'll find the metronome in bar definitions.

I've never been able to figure out why the metronome is buried like that in Samplitude. It's one of the only things that annoys me about the program.

Thanks for the tip. Here's another ignorant question: how do you change the tempo with the metronome? I jerked with all of the metronome parameters, but there was no change.
Thanks

I dunno. Tell me a bit more about your setup & maybe we can figure it out.

Alright - took me a minute to find it again. :D Sekd has changed the location of the MIDI stuff several times it would seem. :mad:

I don't use much MIDI, so when I upgrade to the latest patch, I don't poke around much.

I'm using version 6.03. The metronome BPM is located under:

options--->synchronization. It gives you the MIDI clock I/O & BPM options.

See if this does it for you.
 
I'm using 5.9 so I may not be that much help, but I'll throw this at you anyway:

I always record my midi tracks to wavs and import those into Samplitude. Midi implementation is poor in Samp, but the recording aspect of it makes up for it, IMHO.

I gave up on the metro-gnome a long time ago because it's pretty challenging to configure, and when I did get it to go it appeared on all of the tracks recorded along with it.

You could possibly synch Samp with whatever sequencer you are using, but as to the effectiveness of that I can't say because I never tried it. If I'm using a sequencer or drum program, I generally work out those parts first and, like I said, drop 'em in as waves.
