Click track help.

Audacity 3 Help Forum Windows

Hi,
Currently getting to grips with the new version. When I record a stereo track, great no probs. But if I set up a click track silence…I hear nothing.
Mess around with some settings and when I go to record, a red line and arrow appear at the start of the new track and nothing :unamused:

I bet I just need to adjust something…where would be good place to start ?
Windows 10 & a Presonus audio box USB.

Thanks

I set up a click track

By that you mean Generate > Click Track?
Do your settings look something like this:

And timeline look like this when you get done?

Where do we lose it? The click track settings I believe are default. I’ve never used it, so I think those are the factory settings.

Yes matey. Hit play and I can hear the click, then if I hit record silence . :cry:

Is “Overdub” enabled in the Transport menu?
“Overdub” must be enabled (on).
“Software Playthrough” must be disabled (off).

Narrowed the problem down, if I select the computer speakers it records fine. If I select the audiobox to monitor the track it doesn’t record.
Strange, any ideas ?

Thanks,
Paul

Please describe, step by step, what you are going, and what the problem is. Imagine that we can’t see your computer (we can’t) and walk us through reproducing the problem.
