Studio One Experts: I have a section of a backing track that I am learning on the bass, so I have captured the section of interest in a loop. Is there a way to command Studio One to produce a 1-2-3-4 pre-count click prior to bar 9 (the beginning of the loop) ?
1. I already know how to produce a pre-count at the very beginning of the song. 2. I also know how to produce a sustained click throughout the entire song. 3. And I know how to create a separate click track that runs for the entire song which I could volume automate to control when and where I want it to be active. These are not my questions, although #3 is my plan B.
Since there will be many other sections of many other songs I will want to do this with, I'm hoping that there is a more straightforward way of doing this without volume automating both a click track and my backing track.
Is what I'm asking possible in the latest version of S1?

Steve, I would use the split tool at the start and end of your loop, i.e. measures 9 and 20. Alt drag the loop section to a blank track, this will copy your looped section. Mute all other tracks, all but the one you just moved. Extend the loop start point to measure 7, note these will be blank measures. Set the metronome to click in play. Press play. Now on every time the measures loop you will have a two measure count-in.
I hope this helps and good luck.
{edit} I know no other way to achieve this so if someone does have a better solution I am all ears!

Mario, I'm pretty sure your idea would work fine but I think my "Item 3/Plan B" is a tad simpler. The Plan B works like a charm and when I want to practice another section of the backing track I just need to change the loop section and change when the click volume is on or off.
Maybe in a future revision Presonus will include this capability where all you have to do is right-click the beginning of the loop and the Click sub menu will pop up. I wasn't sure if somehow this was already available in a different way. All is good, problem solved, and S1 has yet to let me down. Thanks.
Musocity, I watched the video you provided and although I learned a thing or two from it, it deals with recording, which didn't help. Thanks anyway.

My bad. I thought you wanted a click track lead in without hearing anything else and that worked for every time you went through the loop.

Not at all, the bad was mine. I could have done better in describing the question. I do want the click to lead-in at the beginning of the loop but I also need the backing track to also play so I can play along with it to learn that section. Hopefully my 2nd screenshot will be clear if someone in the future needs to do the same thing.

Your second screenshot is the only way I know how to accomplish it.
FWIW - if you make that bass track mono, bring it into Melodyne, convert it to MIDI, import that MIDI track into Studio One, then view it in the staff view you can see the notes that the bass is playing. You can do all of that in your version of Studio One.

One day I'll add MIDI to my skill set . . . so many things to learn, so little time

If you want to view the notation just send me the loop and I will send back the notation.

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."
