Setting up a custom metronome
If you want a custom metronome you can do the following:
* First make sure you are in Pencil mode by clicking the Pencil icon located in the top left. Pencil allows you to add and remove notes.
* Scroll all the way down untill you see the drum samples.
* I prefer the Closed Hi-Hat, so I’m going to add that to the first 2 beats like so:
* Now click and drag the second beat on to the first one. This will overlay the two, making it sound a little louder.
* Fill the rest of the first measure with 3 more Closed Hi-Hats. You should have something like this:
* Select the measure you just created (ctrl-A if the rest of the project is empty, or by clicking on an empty space in your timeline and dragging a selection box around the beats) and Duplicate (ctrl-D) as many times as you need.
When you hit Play you will notice there is an emphasis on every first measure.
