Creating a recorded click track??

hey i want to create a click track one that is recorded to its own track with out going out through the audio outs and audio ins I know i can engage a click to sound during recording and playing but i want to put one down on its own track so when im time aligning things i can match it up to this recorded click
Any one know if this can be done
I have Sonar producer 6.2 installed

i would like a function to bounce the built in audio click.

Alternative: Create a click track with midi and soft synth and then save it as a track template. Then just import track template, bounce, and delete whenever it's needed.

I don't know how metronome routing takes place under the covers, but it seems that it would be simple to add another button to allow the metronome to be included in any bounce or export. There seems to be a lot of posts on here asking for it....

I'll offer a suggestion that is more work, but also, alot more FUN, gives you practice, and informative/educational, especially since by your UID, you play Bass. (with a captal B):

Sound the Audio Metronome at the desired tempo, and record a Bass track just playing notes, any old note, along with the click. (if you add Bass syncopation here, it will show up in the final click, this is a custom click track, could be a real rocker, not for the faint of heart) Activate Audio Snap on the Bass track, filter out and/or disable undesired transients. Highlight the Bass clip, and do a "extract timing". This copies MIDI notes (the same note/velocity value) to the clipboard at the exact times you played Bass notes.

Highlight a MIDI track, set the NOW time to the first Bass note, and PASTE the contents of the clipboard. You now have a custom MIDI track that can be quantized and fed to a soft synth, TTS-1. Of course you may just do a shorter clip, and later groove-clip it.

Too much fun....or too much time on my hands?

Why?

Because i record to the Cakewalk audio metrodome, and my drummer specifically is used to that sound. During live performance, our drummer is fed a click, along with all of the keyboard sounds. i would like to be able to bounce a stem of the Cakewalk click to his monitor feed. i currently use drum samples, but he likes the cakewalk beep thing better.

thanks,
Q

Darn good reply. I never use it so I can't help much. But if you have any hardware synths you can us them to be your sound source and record that.

Hope you find a good way to do what you need.

Or get another drummer!

Please see my post above - you'll use the cakewalk click sounds (you choose which) and quickly make your own custom audio click track.

Thanks CP i will try it, it seems to be the quickest of options, and to all others i do understand there are other options Ive tried lots of ur suggestions before I just believe there should be that option of bouncing the click to an audio track. Like i said its not a common one amongst DAWs I guess how things advance minor simple things get forgotten.
I will follow up with CPs suggestion and if that works, seems others can use the same approach

I feel ya' my brother...

This was my thread on this.

http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=900344&mpage=1&key=󛳸

definatly good if the tempo doesn't change. i often have many tempo changes, such as bumping up the chorus 2-3 bpm (gives things such as a chorus a little lift). plus my compositions have varius tempo changes.

what format are the built in cakewalk sounds? i guess i could pull them into a sampler and make a midi track.

Actually, Tempo changes won't make a difference. Groove clips follow project tempo and key changes.

Turn on snap to grid and set it to 1/4 notes. Go to the cakewalk folder for metronome and pull out the sound you want. Place them to make 1 bar. Bounce to groove clip. Drag as far as you need. That's how I do it and I do it all the time.

So i dont see anything that say Groove clip, and when i do bounce it to a new track and then hit groove to clip it mess up the timing and throws everything off can someone help me/??

With the 64bit version of 8.5 Pro none of my third party FX are listed. None of the Sony FX from Sound Forge 10 64bit are listed as well. Any Ideas?

Wow 2007!
You should have started a new thread. 
You might need to make sure you used all your disks when you installed Sonar. Might not have installed all your plugs

Me too.  I currently do the output to input using a SPDIF cable and record the click track.  My Drummer likes the Sonar metronome since beat 1 per measure is different than the others.  It makes it easy for him to play on.
