My apologies if this has been covered before but the search on this forum has been less than helpful.

Here's the deal.  I installed X1 Producer and have the X1a patch.  I'm trying to set up the metronome but when I select Audio Metronome and the appropriate audio output, the drop down selections for First Beat and Other Beats have nothing from which to select!

I understand there are other issues with the metronome, but not having any metronome is a real non-starter for me.  Any assistance or input would be appreciated.

Blind, You right click the record or play metronome button (or 'P') and you get nothing to chose from in the drop down box? Man that's weird and sorry not much help but I cannot get that behavior here.

What are you seeing in those drop down boxes?

Blind that is really weird. I get about 40 different choices from hi hats to clicks.

How do you post a Jing vid? I've got Jing do i post the native format I'll show you mine (since you showed me yours. lol)

Just upload the Jing vid to the TechSmith server and post the link it gives you.  I wonder why my metronome list is empty?

Can't up load with the free version. Sorry and all you'd see is a long list of stuff even if I could upload the vid. I tried every combo of output and setting in that dbx and couldn't get a blank drop down.

I'm not even sure what setting affects the list of items in there.  I see I have a Metronome folder underneath Sonar X1 Content (or something like that) and it has a couple dozen files, but they're just not showing up in X1.

I have the free Jing version as well and it allows me to upload.  I wonder what's different with yours?

Didn't know I could post free Jing vids. Not sure it will help.

I had the same problem - but now resolved. I realized it has to do with the master.ini instrument file. Reset your Sonar - when you start Sonar, press down shift key. That will reset your instrument file. Worked for me - my metronome audio files came back after I did that. Apparently it was caused by something I did unconsciously during installation.
