King Burton Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I no longer have metronome sound. Switches on the tool bar operate. In preferences, toggled between audio and midi and nothing. In the audio dropdown there are no choices - blank. Thought: Is it now required to have a metronome bus? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 scook Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Usually when the audio drop downs are empty - holding down the SHIFT key while starting the DAW will give the user an option to restore the files missing from the user directory including the metronome wav files. By default, all project templates bundled with the DAW include a metronome bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 King Burton Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 Thank you Scook. I moved most of files to a different drive location from OS - that file being one of them. AND it looks like you can't point Cakewalk to that location in Preferences. sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manually relocated parts of the DAW will break things unless you have a very good understanding of how the DAW works or are willing to spend a fair amount of time learning how the app, OS and registry all work together. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 King Burton Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 Yeah. I certainly don't mess with registry. Not necessary. But like to keep as much music production off the OS drive as possible. Usually VST locations, Core, and Content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 King Burton Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 And the metronome thing is interesting. Older versions never used a separate bus. You just turned it on or off on the tool bar. Or at least that's what I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Herky Acuff Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 In the metronome settings, you could check where the audio output is routed to. I've found it once set to None. And another time, sent to a bus I used as a FX send, that at the time was muted for recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
King Burton
I no longer have metronome sound. Switches on the tool bar operate. In preferences, toggled between audio and midi and nothing. In the audio dropdown there are no choices - blank.
Thought: Is it now required to have a metronome bus?
Thanks
