issue with metronome
The metronome in Platinum was working fine until the latest update. Now when I press "record," there is no metronome. I can get it to play during the whole time I'm recording. But I only want it to count off until the music starts. Then I want it to stop. How do I fix it?
Thanks!

I'm not sure the metronome ever only did a count in!
I always just add 4 or so hi hat or side sticks in measure one.
I know there's been many who wish for a negative first measure so the song always starts on 1.

Hmm...
I didn't know you could have the click set to stop after the music starts. That's cool.
A workaround might be to make a track just for the click, then set the volume automation to turn the volume down after your count-in?

Yes, it's always had a count in.
There are 3 little icons on the metronome part of the Control Bar
The top two engage the 'nome when playing and/or recording
The bottom one lets you access the detailed settings. Choose your count in there
Don't forget to use Audio metronome

Route the metronome to a new aux track, record it as audio, then have it whenever you want. I do this when I have to send out stems to other producers on other platforms so they can seamlessly align my tracks in their projects

Have you tried going to "Preferences/Metronome setting" ?
You can set your count in to how ever many beats, clicks you want.

Yes, but it only allows me to have the metronome on all the time when I record. It doesn't give me the option to have it count 4 beats then stop. Thanks! Greg

In that case you'll have to drop in a few short midi notes

In metronome settings, Use Audio Metronome is checked. For Output there are 4 choices: none, my interface, master and metronome. Checking 'none' does nothing. Master and metronome cause the metronome to continually play during recording. I haven't tried choosing my interface.
It used to count off 4 beats to record, then stop. Now it doesn't. I would love to find out why it stopped working. I can use the drums to do it, but I like having the ability to have Sonar count then stop.
Thanks!

Yes I seem to remember it happening that way once upon a time.
But I played around with it last night and couldn't get the metronome to switch off after the count in.

I did a few tests last night.
If I disable the playback and record metronome (both are NOT eluminated), I hear a 4 count then recording starts and no metronome is heard during recording

I will try that. Thanks, Chuck! Greg

chuckebaby is right. Under Preferences | Metronome you can have a metronome during recording or playback or both or neither. And you can have a count-off with or without hearing it during recording or playback.
There is a metronome bus and it is always possible that got deleted, muted, or turned down.

No problem. Now just mark my post "Best answer" so I can cash in my cakewalk coins and buy a washing machine.
