Routing Metronome to Head Phones

Just wondering if there was a way to route the click track (i.e. metronome) to the head phones only.  I've got an idea for a project and while building the project, I would like to have the click track on a set of head phones without it coming over the monitors. 
 
Currently, I am working in X1.  I should be updating to X2 in a week or two.  I imagine the "technique" or the principals would be similar.
 
Thanks in advance.

Cakewalk V-Studio 700 and with VS-700R.

    Assuming you can route some of your outputs to monitors and split off a separate output to your headphones with your VS equipment...

    One of probably many techniques to try is you could create a single track with a midi drum beat that substitutes for the metronome.  I do that all the time. I use TTS-1 to provide the drum sound. Route the output of that track to a bus of your choice and route that bus to something on your audio device that goes to your headphones.

    It is absolutely possible to route the Metronome bus directly to a headphone output. I do this myself from time to time. However, it really depends on your audio interface's routing capabilities. I didn't notice any mention of your interface, so I cannot comment whether you have this available.

    Kind regards,
