Yep... I was going to suggest the use of real band or another DAW and record the metronome to it's own track.

You should NEVER record two things on the same track .... NEVER.

In a DAW, you can always mix things together but once you put 2 things on one track, you can never separate them again. Not cleanly anyhow.

Learn how to use a multi-track DAW, and life will be easier in a musical sense.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
