Jonathan Hawthorne Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 So, i've browsed around for a fix and nothing has done the job. My metronome will simply not work. I set the outputs to my speakers, checked everything I needed to and yet I can't hear it. If ANYONE can please help me out you'd be a life saver. (i am still a noob to this software) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jonathan Hawthorne Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 I have also attempted to view the metronome bus, but it won't show up and I apologize for me being a noob here but I can't figure out how to create one. Any help is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 msmcleod Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 The dialog should look like this: If you've deleted your Metronome bus, just create a new bus, call it "Metronome" and assign its output to your Master bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, this is a noob question, how do I create a new bus and assign it? Also, for some reason my drop down boxes for "First Beat" and "Other Beats" show no options.

1 scook Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Usually when the drop downs are not populated, the files did not get installed properly. This may be corrected by holding the SHIFT key when starting CbB. AFAIK, all the project templates have three buses set up: a master bus a metronome bus a preview bus May be easier to start new projects by using one of the bundled templates until you get comfortable using the DAW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your shift method worked! Thank you so much man, you're a lifesaver! I'll also make sure to use the templates now too. Thank you msmcleod for responding too!

0 FrancoSteve Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Holding down the shift key when loading Cakewalk worked a treat for me. The metronome works perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, i've browsed around for a fix and nothing has done the job. My metronome will simply not work. I set the outputs to my speakers, checked everything I needed to and yet I can't hear it. If ANYONE can please help me out you'd be a life saver.
