How do I turn off the count in? I know I figured it out before, but now that I've reset to factory settings, it's back and I can't seem to turn it off. I have tried turning off everything in the Metronome window, to no avail.
Thanks for the response - that's what I was trying to say.
I found the metronome settings, have clicked and unclicked everything, but still get a silent count in for the song. Basically it's a four count silence that is there when I render the track to .wav.
Hi JIM I have found that you play with the count in and lead in at you peril . Caused me all sorts of problems when converting and rendering tracks to audio. Getting the tracks line up with the start of the song, when re importing.
However as I normally have either an auto generated or custom intro of a few bars to my songs I do find it useful to un tick the box to play count in even if intro is present. But not until I have finished working on the song, until then everything in that area stays at its defaults. Mike
Here's the kicker. Before I restored my build back to factory settings, I actually DID have it set so that the rendered .wav file didn't start with a click track count, or silent count, but started right with the first note of the project.
So I've gone over it, back and forth trying it figure out where it is located. I tried every setting in the Metronome screen, and nothing works.
Before I found it the first time 2+ years ago, I would have to take each track into Audacity and cut off the front count in.
But you CAN remove the count in, whether it's audible or not so the wav file starts immediately. I just can't find it again and was hoping that someone here may remember how.
Settings for rendering can be found under "Audio | Export Song As Audio File..." (see the image below).
If you are wanting to render a completed BIAB song without a lead-in or a delay start, try deactivating the boxes I've numbered '3' on the image and set the "Delay at start" (#4) to zero.
NOTE: When you get things operating as you want, make sure that you save your configuration settings using "Options | Save preferences as....". Doing this will allow you to get your settings back easily if you reset again at some future time.
Noel - you are a genius - I'm pretty sure that's where I turned them off before. I'll try it when I get back into my studio tonight, but your solution and screen shots seem very familiar!!!
Thanks again - I'll let you know later tonight if it works...
Incidentally - watched your videos on Vimeo. Did you shoot the footage yourself? Just asking because that's also something that I do is shoot stills and video.
