First of all I am trying to pick up on cakewalk again and let me say i find this forum incredibly difficult to navigate.but my question is where do I find the metronome in Cakewalk. When i open a new project the metronome does not appear anywhere  at the top of the screen

The metronome is in the transport module

For more info on the metronome see http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Recording.05.html

The transport module is located in the Control Bar

Keyboard shortcut "C" will show/hide the control bar.

The control bar is in the Views menu.

Questions about using/installing Cakewalk go in Q&A. Questions about instruments and effects go in Instruments and Effects.

So this was the correct place for your question. 😀

The last part of my message didn't transmit. So my question is,where is the metronome icon.I am trying to use the piano roll window and want to set the beat and tempo.When I open a new project it opens up a window  and I can open audio or midi but I can't find the metronome. I used to get a bar at the top but that has now just disappeared.

Thanks for the reply,I had found the control bar earlier and it does not show the metronome icon. It's happened before and the only way I could find it was to reset the date on my computer to an earlier date which then would open on an earlier date and at the top it would show all the icons.I would like to take a picture of the window I am getting  to show you but I haven't a clue on how to do this. When I do what you say and press C the control bar shows but does definitely not show the metronome icon. This is so frustrating.

So you get the transport module, but instead of looking like this:

it looks like this:

 

 

Look here to take screenshots.

Nigel I get the lower  picture. I am using  my iPad to try to take a pic, and want to send it to the right place but the address I get is invalid. But it is the lower pic and nothing I do will bring up the metronome in that window.

The last time I had bits missing like that it was the hard drive that was on its way out. Made icons disappear from the toolbar.

I nominate this thread title for "Worst content hint of 2020". 🙂 🙂 🙂

Last word. Looked at one of the tutorials, and when I start my version  and open  the audio or midi track it looks nothing like the tutorial.So guess I'll just have to uninstall and look at one of the other DAWs

What Theme are you using?

Since your new to Cake you’re next question is “what’s a Theme”.

Sounds like a Theme issue.

The right side of the Transport Module has the Metronome controls.  Click on the bottom button to open the metronome settings.
