Hi EVRTH/WVLKER and welcome to the Cakewalk forums.

We need a little more info.  What are you using as an audio interface?  What does your routing look like? 

Kind regards,

Your title indicates that your "recorded track" has the metronome on it and the statement above says "during playback".   I'm taking a guess here and saying the problem is during "playback" . . . .   If so:

Go into "preferences > metronome" and check if the box is ticked for "during playback" . . .   I don't have Cakewalk in front of me (not in the studio now) but it could be that you have this selected and would cause your problem . . .

Hi Karen and welcome to the Cakewalk forums.

In addition to Syphus's post, you can also simple deselect the Metronome Playback button in the Transport Tool module in the Control Bar (see below circled in yellow):
