Garage Band Metronome

[Yeti60]

When I'm recording something with Garage Band I have the option of using a metronome or not. For timing purposes, I would like to use it, however in the recording when I play it back I can hear the ticking of the metronome... is there any way around that? Can I specifically eliminate the sound of the recorded metronome?

Headphones

Use headphones so you hear the metronome, and any accompaniment you may have, but do not record the sound.

ahhh... good idea, thank you.

Another tip: You can build a better metronome. Just use some percussion sounds you like to build a 1 measure song, then add it to the loop browser to use as a click.

Obviously you only want to go through the trouble if it's functional. I have one set to 8th notes, where the downbeats have one sound, and the upbeats have another. I also have a quarter note one, where 1 has a different sound than 2, 3 and 4.
