The only options I have for metronomes in n-Track are the PC speaker or crappy midi drums. Is there a plug-in or something that will give me a standard click?

click track
I think output to speakerIS the click track, you want to heat the click but you dont want to record it right?
This is all i found in the manual? not very descriptive is it?
You can open the metronome settings window by clicking on the metronome icon on the toolbar. Set the tempo, choose MIDI or PC speaker output and if the metronome should be hearable during recording and/or during playback. Click on the test button to hear if the tempo is right. OUTPUT TO: - PC speaker: check this option if you want hear the metronome clicks through the standard PC speaker - MIDI note: check this option if you want hear the metronome clicks through a MIDI synth. You can select which MIDI device to use: usually you will set the metronome device as the same device used for normal MIDI output (as set thorough the Preferences/MIDI/MIDI devices dialog box). If the program reports an error when starting playback, make sure that you have not selected MIDI MAPPER in the metronome settings and the actual MIDI device the MIDI MAPPER points to (as set through Control Panel/Multimedia) in the Preferences MIDI devices, or vice-versa. If you want to use the same device, select the same entry in both settings (i.e. both MIDI MAPPER or both “Xyz Inc.MIDI synth”

heh, i was actually wondering about that too.
i think what he asked though was more like...uhh...is it possible to get the metronome click from n-track to an analog out on an audio interface, to headphones, to a drummer. something like that.
unless you explained that and i didn't get it :]

oh and progger, i'm pretty sure you could make your own click track pretty easily. i haven't messed with this yet, and i'm not good with terminology, lol, but try recording a little noise like snapping your fingers or whatever, quantize it to 1/4 notes, and paste it over and over again for a few minutes.
set the track to "play" but not re-record while the other tracks record.

Thanks. I toyed around with this a little bit, and took off the accent on the first beat. With those midi hi-hat sounds as the metronome, I can function pretty well. I just couldn't take the PC speaker option or that snare drum accenting the first beat of every measure.

i usually just do a kick/snare beat with Fruity Loops and import it in......

Yeah, i think i'm safe in saying that Flavio has focused on the audio portion of N, not MIDI. And the metronome (from what i hear, since i've never used it) topic comes up often. Most of us don't use it.
I, too, use FLoops.
