Two mono signals. Click track >left Synth>right sent to a stereo splitter. Left goes to the drummer, right goes to the front of house. BOOM!

You know what I been trying to get around is doing stereo backtracks + click so 3 outputs live but without using a laptop/macbook with external soundcard (multi outputs) I though of this, havebt tried it but want to. So make the audio a dvd format, click centre channel and backtracks stereo, and out the dvd player only send left and right outputs to desk and headphone out the dvd player for the drummer to here all 3 signals.
What you think?

dvd-player is really unreliable playback format because it is really sensitive to stage vibration
so if you do that what will the drummer hear just the click or he will hear synth cause im the drummer in my band

You can mix whatever you want into the mono signal of the drummers mix if you want, but honestly you should be able to play just fine to a click and be able to hear the monitor on stage too if there is one.

True, but would be rad if it worked. they should make something like this thats practical
does that mean in the in ears u only hear audio on one side?
also how to u add like a metronome to the mix like how can u record one im not sure how to do that

You can either route your metronome to track and record while its playing (metronome setup) or some programs like Audacity can generate audio click tracks for you (I've only read about this though)
Hope that helps

only the drummer???
wouldn't it be easier if everyone was playing to the click?
or at least tighter!?
If the drummer's playing to the click then everyone else just plays with the drummer, so there's no need for everyone else to have it.

Thats pointless to me honestly. If the drummer plays tight then you will play tight. PERIOD.
