When you create a new project, you should set the metronome to play during the count-in and while recording. If you are adding material to an existing project, you might only need the metronome for the count-in. You can customize the metronome sound to use audio or any note on a MIDI instrument. By default, SONAR uses a hi-hat cymbal sound from a General MIDI drum kit for the MIDI metronome, but you can change this setting to anything you like by changing the MIDI output, MIDI channel, and duration. You can also choose the note and velocity (volume) to use for the first beat of each measure and for all other beats.
The metronome settings are stored separately with each project, so you can use different settings for each one.
If you wish to hear the metronome from your computer sound card and attached speakers, check 'Use MIDI note'. 2) If you are using your sound card to play the metronome, you must choose a Port. You will want to choose an FM Synthesizer, MIDI Synthesizer, or GS Wavetable Synth.
