The only way the metronome would find its way back to the guitar track is via the software mixer.
Or if you are set for "what you hear" and are actually still using your on board sound card.
Pushing buttons is not how one will learn how Sonar works. You really need to take the time to read the help files. There are plenty of Videos and a book by Scott Garrigus. The info on the full versions applies to LE other than missing features, they all work the same.
In case you have not bothered to read the tutorials on how to set up for recording audio, I'll explain briefly.
Most importantly:
Make sure you have installed the most up to date ASIO drivers from the Roland web site. I am pretty sure it also includes a software mixer GUI interface. Make sure you follow directions for implementing this first.
Check in Preferences Audio to make sure only the Roland is your audio device. Obliterate all traces of your on board sound card from within 20' of Sonar. Forget it even exists.
The following is assuming your using a mike into input one (1) of your interface.
Play hard and set the levels just below peaking.
You should hear the guitar in your headphones via the Quad captures headphone jack.
Insert an audio track in Sonar and keep it in focus. (selected)
Press I to open the track inspector.
Open the "input" dialog and choose the quad capture / Left channel Mike 1 input ( the wording will be different but it should be the top of the list)
Arm the track (= REC) and play your guitar, the tracks meter should move.
If it doesn't the issue is in your software mixer routing.
If you wish to hear the metronome during recording then set that using the metronome dialog found to the right of the main display ( tempo/ time etc)
But now your on your own and you will need to read the manual for your quad captures software mixer routing to set up for the proper headphone mix. It probably has a default setting that says something like- zero latency tracking.
So the only way you could be recording the metronome is your routing your master outputs ( 1/2?) back to the armed track. This is either via the software mixer or your on board card.
