GottfriedMind Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) Don't get me wrong. I realize this is one of the basic things. I'm pushing 60 (yeah, I used that as an out....). For the life of me, I can't get the metronome to work. Audio is what I want. Midi metronome is a last resort. It sets up a Metronome track fine. I've enabled play met on record and playback. Nothing. What is the proper way to test this? Thank you all.... Edited October 1, 2019 by GottfriedMind
Noel Borthwick Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 You are using the latest release of Cakewalk by BandLab? Metronome should work out of the box assuming that audio playback is working. Are you using ASIO or WASAPI? Click the metronome icon on the toolbar and verify it is set up like this - see screenshot. Make sure the output is pointing to a valid bus in your project. By default its assigned to the "Metronome" bus.
GottfriedMind Posted September 30, 2019 Author Posted September 30, 2019 Tried output set to Metronome. Still nothing....
Syphus Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 Hi - I just test this out ( I think this is what you want): (even thought I'm a bit late) Open a new project (basic) Set your audio to none (it will change once you start recording) Turn you input fader down Go to the page for preferences (as shown by Noel above) Click the "playback box", "count in" to "0" measures set you tempo Arm your track for record, type "r" on keyboard. Recording should start. Let this record for about 4 and 1/2 measures. Then stop. Go to your track and select measure 1 thru 4, set your loop (for 4 measures) Once loop selected, hit play. Transport should loop through the 4 measures and the "Metronome" should be clicking If this is not what you are trying to accomplish - oops, sorry Syphus

GottfriedMind Posted September 30, 2019 Author Posted September 30, 2019 So I have a new project set up. I have Superior Drummer working with Cakewalk with my old Roland R-70 as an input. Now, I want the metronome to work, and I know I am doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out. Thanks, again.
Noel Borthwick Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 Can you check if the metronome samples are installed here: C:\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Core\Metronome And to verify the obvious - can you hear audio playing through the same bus if you insert some audio on a track and assign the output to the same bus that the metronome is using?
David Baay Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 One long ago fix for this with SONAR was to 'repersonalize' by holding Ctrl+Shift while launching. 1
GottfriedMind Posted October 1, 2019 Author Posted October 1, 2019 Many thanks to Noel and all of you for responding. I found the fix from Noel's comments on another thread.http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3751189 It was related to Grooveplayer. (Now, if I can remember how to play, I'll be set......) Thanks again, Todd
Noel Borthwick Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 Did you have to re register the DLL? Strange, maybe something failed during your install of CbB. I'm glad that you are up and running.
GottfriedMind Posted October 2, 2019 Author Posted October 2, 2019 Yes, Noel. I re-registered the dll per your instruction, using Administrative privileges in Powershell. Worked like a champ. 56 minutes ago, Noel Borthwick said: Did you have to re register the DLL? Strange, maybe something failed during your install of CbB. I'm glad that you are up and running.

Bardzo dziękuję, metronom znowu się pojawił w BandLab. Świetne rozwiązanie problemu.
