How can I get the metronome sound included in an exported audio file?


AlChuck

Question

I'm creating a series of simple vamps for practicing improvising. I simply want to export them to WAV files and then be able to play them from devices that I don't have Cakewalk present on (my iPhone, my Mac laptop, my Kindle Fire). I have the metronome toggled on for playback. When I export the files I see no option for including the metronome sound, and indeed the exported files do not have it. What am I missing?

The metronome is automatically suppressed during bounce/export.

To get it included in an export you need to first record it to a track, and then export with that track included.

1. Insert a Send from the Metronome bus to a New Aux Track.

2. Arm the Aux track, and record the click out to end of your project (use punch if you want it to have an exact length).

3. With nothing selected, export Master Bus or Entire Mix.

Thanks much! I thought there might be a quick direct way to do it like a "include metronome in exported audio" setting or something somewhere. 

In trying to follow your directions, I get stuck at the first step... I see no Metronome bus displayed, so I cannot insert a send. Is this something that is there but hidden by default?
