HELLO, I am new to BIAB. The audible METRONOME that I get consist in BEAT 1-RIMSHOT (or something like this) and BEAT 2, 3 and 4 - CLOSED HIT HAT.
Can I configure this kind of METRONOME? I play with a drummers and want to use the BASS form BIAB. Drums are muted but I need to provide a click to the drummer via HEADPHONES.
Any help is appreciatted. ANOTHER ISSUE: I can not find the way to output the metronome to one specific audio channel of my 4 outputs audio card.
Thanks in advance.

Band-in-a-Box will only output audio to one stereo output, sorry. You can't separate the tracks like that.
This would work though: If you have a hardware sound module (synthesizer) like an old Sound Canvas, select that as your MIDI Output Driver and uncheck "Use VSTi/DXi Synth" so all MIDI (including the metronome) plays through the sound module, and use a RealTrack for the bass. Now the bass will play through your soundcard since it's audio, and the metronome will play through the synth since it's MIDI.
Send the output of your soundcard to your speakers so you can hear the bass, and plug the drummer's headphones into the sound module.
Select Loopbe as your MIDI Output Driver in BIAB, and as the MIDI Input in Kontakt, and Band-in-a-Box will send those metronome notes to Kontakt on channel 10. If you then set Kontakt to use a different output channel on the interface than BIAB, that should do the trick.
This is easier in Realband. It allows setting the Output Port per track. This way any track(s) can be sent to any Audio Output available.
No LoopBe needed.
Also, I often start a project in Realband by opening (or importing if the song is already started) a file called Click.MID. I created this MIDI file as a 100 measure MIDI track that plays sidestick on 1-2-3-4.
Once I open/import it in Realband I can easily edit the drum notes in the EventList to get the sound I want and adjust volumes (velocities) as needed. IE change the note number to Cowbell or something and change velocity to suit. I can also quickly convert it to an Audio track in RB where I can assign a different soundcard output port. See image below.
I setup everything as mentioned earlier.. Patched my MIDIout to LoopMidi (as input on Kontakt)... The midi channels play correctly, but the COUNT-IN never plays through

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
