Audacity Forum

I have installed Audacity 1.2.6. Having a great time with it! It's a great program so far. I feel the need to have click tracks to help me with hte time shift thing that happens now and then. I've tried everything I can think of including reading the instructions, but with no success. Can someone tell me how to go about generating a clock track?

Thanks Very much,
Fred

Well, no reply yet, so I tried doing a search on this forum. For the words click track I am told the words are "too common" and so are being ignored. That's alot of help isn't it! When I tried them as one word, the search function returned nothing at all. Hmmmm.

I don't know what else to do.

Is there a way to generate that document so we don't have to own Microsoft Word to see it? Can you cut and paste?

My way too fuzzy impression of a click track is the three or four seconds of ticking to establish the beat right before a performance. Like the drummer hitting the side of his snare. I've never used it as a stand-alone track throughout a performance.

You can't open up an Audacity project in four or more tracks, select one track and generate clicks in it?

Click tracks are generally used to make sure the performers keep a steady tempo throughout a recording session. When you have different people coming in at different times to record their individual portions for the same project, this is a necessity. In the final mix, the click track is not present, of course.

If you only want one measure of clicks (as a count off), just generate one measure at the tempo you want.
