Anyone know if you can bump up the click volume when recording?
Or do I have to turn my samples down while overdubbing?

nah, no click volume

By shukone Sun Oct 23, 2005 11:55 am
would be a great feature, cause the volume is too low...

if you have a mixer with more than 2 inputs or two seperate stereo inputs,

run output 1/2 with no instruments set to it., change all current instruments to 3/4 and just use 1/2 as the metronome, then you can crank it on your mixing desk.

or get an 808 cowbell tune it down 12 (makes a good metronome noise!) and record it on each beat of a bar, looped on its own seporate track (using T/C with no swing). mute / unmute the track when needed.

if you dont have any external equipment or mixing desk etc, the best way would be to record a backing track with hi hat, hi hat, hi hat, snare. make sure you do it on full volume, and jack up the volume of those sounds.
