click track removal

Post by ljharley » Fri Aug 08, 2008 1:42 am

I'm using the click track during recording of an electric guitar. After I've finished recording, the the click track is included in the recording. Is there any way to eight remove the click track or prevent it from being recorded with the guitar in the first place?

Change the input source in the Mixer Toolbar dropdown selector to the one you are actually recording from (presumably line-in or microphone according to how you are recording the guitar). What you're doing at the moment is recording from "stereo mix" (or however the option to record the computer playback is called), hence you are recording everything that you hear.

To get rid of the click track after recording, so that it isn't in the audio file that you export, click on the [X] top left of the track.
