Im new to this program i purchased the creative audigy sound card and they gave me the Cubase VST program with it.Well i am trying to record an audio track, i can record the first track no problem! But when i record the 2nd track i get the metronome and the first track in the background of the second i can't get rid of it! Is there a way i can keep them seperate or am i doing something wrong in my set up? Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Well, if your in Cubase VST, look in the bottom right corner of your transport bar and you will see a button that says "click".

Push it and turn it off.
 
i've done that but still comes out when i record the 1st track i need the click but when i turn it off and play the 2nd audio track on it seems to record the click
 
I'm presuming you are recording the audio track whilst listening to headphones so the mike doesn't pick up and record the click from the speakers....

if so, then I guess your sound card mixer settings need changing - the metronome click is a midi synth sound, so when you record audio you're probably recording both the microphone input and the midi synth output at the same time. it's easy to change, just bring up the mixer panel for the soundcard (probably bottom right in the taskbar) and make sure that the record input source is set to microphone (or whatever you're using) ONLY. Then it doesn't matter what is playing in cubase while you record, only the microphone stuff will actually be stored.
 
click options on your tool bar...then metronome....in the metronome window you have three little boxes in the left hAnd corner...deselect "during playback" one and that should do it for you
 
Clicker Death

I'm new to Cubase as well and had the same problem. My set up might not be the same as your's so I'm shooting in the dark here.

I have my mics feeding into the ins of a Fender 16 track mixer and the 4 submaster outs pluged into a Quatrro A/D that then hooks up to my laptop via a USB port. I was a running the Quatrro outs into the returns of my mixer in order to monitor my work and to hear the clicker. It turns out that I was also feeding what I had recorded on track one right back into the sound board and in turn onto the next track I was attempting to record. My solution was to run two of the outs from the Quatrro to the power amp that the monitors are hooked to. It worked I can either push the sound through the speakers or headphones. You might post your recording configuration (i.e. Mackie sound board in to whatever A/D you are using and so on) that way someone with more time and experience than me could take a shot at an answer your problem.

Anyway, hope I helped. Good luck
