Re: Mix with click?

This is one reason I prefer tagruvto's method, creating my own click track rather than using the metronome. That way, it's just another track in your project that can be exported alongside any subset of tracks you want. Great for collaborations. Plus you can insert cues such as fills to help you anticipate changes while overdubbing, something a metronome can't do.
Even though you haven't done that for this project, you can easily add a click track before sending it to your collaborator. Like tagruvto suggests, just add a MIDI track, open the step sequencer and create a 1- or 2-bar beat. That'll make a groove clip that you can stretch out to the length of the song. Route it to the TTS-1 or a drum sampler and freeze it. If you want to insert cues, right-click on the groove clip and select "bounce to clip(s)", which will convert it into a standard MIDI track that you can edit.
I've been doing something similar for years for our backing tracks. We use a castanet patch for the click, drummers love it, they can always hear it because it has a very sharp attack. We use a sine wave beep G beep for cues.
I do it a bit differently though. I bounced 4 castanet clicks to a track, trimmed and looped it and dragged it to the audio library. Anytime I need to add a click, I just drag it into the project and extend it.
