sydneymills Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 So very much to learn. I feel like such a dummy. I like to hear a click track while I record my guitar parts so that I keep tight meter. I recorded my first guitar track with the metronome playing and it recorded the metronome as well. I only want to hear the metronome while I am playing, I dont want to record it. How can I listen to the metronome while I am recording my guitar, bass or keyboards but not record the metronome.

David Nahmani Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Is that an acoustic guitar with a real mic in front? Are you listening to the metronome through your speakers? If yes and yes, then that's the wrong way to do it: you want to monitor the metronome through headphones and turn off your speakers when doing any kind of recording with a mic. For an electric guitar/bass or keyboard plugged straight into the audio interface (no mic) that wouldn't be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneymills Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 It is not an acoustic guitar. I have my electric guitar plugged into my GIO and my headphones plugged into my GIO. When I plug in my GIO to my computer it says in the manual to select the GIO as my input and output so the speakers to my computer are not used at all, in fact when you plug in the GIO it automatically becomes the input and output. Everything is monitored through my headphones and the GIO. So I am trying to just have the metronome play while I am recording the guitar but I do not want to record the metronome. When I tried to record it recorded the guitar and the metronome on the same track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookatthisguy Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 You sure you don't just have the click track enabled during playback as well? (Check the transport bar; light blue button (when enabled) if memory serves) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Did you ever open Maestro and change some settings in there? You could have set it up to mix the metronome with the guitar before the Logic input by accident. In Logic, the metronome will come out of Out 1 & 2, that's it (unless again you changed that yourself). There's no reason at all Logic could be routing the metronome to a rec-enabled track, so my guess is it's happening in Maestro or it's something else as lookatthisguy suggested.

sydneymills Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 I did not have the click track enabled during play back and I have no idea what maestro is so I don't think I changed anything, I never opened maestro, what is it.
