Does anyone know how to program a click track? My problem is a song that starts at 120bpm, picks up to 140, then 160, then back to 140. My friend showed me a Dream Theater vid where you could here the click change tempos. I need something i could take to our rehersal space. peferably a CD i could plug into the PA...

Did you say before that you couldn't get midi to work? Or was that someone else?
If not, midi in cubase or whatever... single notes on the beat, render it with a wood block instrument of whatever suits you best. Export a mixdown of that to a wav or aic or whatever and burn it to the cd, then take it with you. \m/
Hope that helps.

If you use Cubase SX, then go to Tempo Track editor and just edit the tempo changes to your preference. Whether you want the change to be abrupt or smooth, you can easily make it there. When you set all that, do what Hopkins suggested and voila - you have a click track on your CD.

just about every sequencer has a means of tempo mapping which could then either be played back or recorded onto cd
I know for a fact that ProTools has a specific "Click Track" that you can enable/disable. It is under the "MIDI" tab, and there are options like: during playback only, during record only, during playback and record, first 4 beats (something to that effect), and one other option. Only thing is you have to set your preferences to the correct MIDI device (which can be your soundcard btw), it doesn't do it by itself. Cubase SX has the same thing pretty much, which has been explained already. NTrack also has it...in fact I don't think I've ever heard/seen a recording program without a click available. Yep.

In the PTLE midi editor you can easily specify a tempo change at any specific point in the program....I havent used it, except by accident.

This actually is pretty close to a question I was going to ask. I was wondering what you guy's would recommend for a non computer based, I guess a stand alone piece of gear? For a programable click track.

I have an alesis sr-16 that is midi, but you can't program tempo changes. Or at least I can't figure out how to.Razorjack said:

Alesis used to make a drum machine called the HR-16 that you could program tempo changes with. it's discontinued now and has been for a while.. but they can be had for $100 and less on eBay.DEADHEART said:
still, your best bet is to do it with software... once you do on your computer screen you will never go back to programming drum machines.
