Difficulty making a CLICK TRACK in Sonar LTE...

Every other audio program I have used has a simple "make CLICK TRACK" option... Why can't I just make and save a click track in Sonar LTE?? The metronome function is not what I'm looking for -Ya'll know what I'm sayin' Right??? Honestly, I would just use Audacity if not for the lack of simultaneous multi-tracking. Sonar is tough...
 
Thanks,

    In SONAR there is no built-in 'click track'. Click is generated 'on the fly' and it can be routed to any output. Thus you don't need to create a track for it.
     
    If you need the click track, make an instrument track with your favorite click sound, open Step Sequecer and make a click pattern. Stretch the clip to fill the whole song and bounce that instrument track to normal audio track.

    from The Craig:
     
    1. Choose Insert > Stereo Bus to create a new bus for the audio metronome.
    2. Rename the new bus to Metronome.
    3. Choose Edit > Preferences > Project – Metronome.
    4. Select the Recording check box and clear the Playback check box (you’ll hear the recorded metronome instead during playback).
    5. Select “Use Audio Metronome.”
    6. Click the Output drop-down menu and select the bus named Metronome, then click OK to close the Preferences dialog box.
    7. Click the Metronome bus’s Output control and select New Aux Track on the pop-up menu.
    8. Arm the Aux Track for recording.
    9. Begin recording.

    Is Sonar LTE a lite version or something? It might not have Aux Tracks then.

    SONAR LE was an X1 version given away with Roland hardware. Not heard of "LTE" and forget now if that LE version was updated to X3, but seem to recall a second iteration for some reason.

    - Get the free Cakewalk by Bandlab (SONAR Platinum minus some plugins):
       https://www.bandlab.com/products/cakewalk
    - Open your project in CbB.
    - Add a Metronome bus if you don't already have one, and and route your audio metronome to it in Preferences.
    - Right-click the metronome bus and choose Insert Send > New Aux Track
    - Disable Input Echo on the new track, and arm it for recording.
    - Enable metronome on record, and record as many bars as you need.
    - Or punch record a single bar, Ctrl+L to enable Groove Clip Looping, and roll it out.
     
    Note: If you have a Manual Offset entered under Preferences > Audio > Sync and Caching > Record Latency  Adjustment, you'll want to zero it temporarily to get sample-accurate click timing recorded.

    Yes, don't waste your time with LE, I have it somewhere around here and was the most pathetic version ever. 
     
    Any DAW's I ever used have metronomes, not click tracks. If you need a click track you need to import one or roll your own. There's a zillion way to make a click track.

    Making a click track isn't the only thing you're going to have difficulty doing in SONAR LE. Finding the install floppy in case something goes wrong is one I can think of....
     
    But have no fear, you can now have an improved version of the real thing for free.

    Register with the same email address and password you use here and what was once full SONAR is yours for the downloading.
