re asio. >>>POINT 1.
and count ins >>>POINT 2.

1..
with great respect to my fellow users who often have problems with asio let me say i dont. asio works in both bb AND RB for me.

heres what i suggest...and yes i know its pricey...but rent a multi client interface like rme sometime or others listed in my tips in pg tips forum re mc interfaces and see if this solves the problems with asio not working.
often its just a fact that a setting has not been set correctly in ones current interface being used or in windows sound or a daw setting.

i mention the above because sometimes people blame the music app
(and i see same probs on other daw forums ) that get blamed whereas the truth of the matter is often its a setting in the interface or win sound or the music app thats the issue.

just my 2 devalued cents worth...lol.

2.
as to count ins...in any music app i use..i just create my own count in track.
and dont bother with the apps metronome features.
SO in bb in chord view i'll use an rd by itself with the dots technique so only the drums play and then the chords start at bar three say.
or if i want 4 bar count in...my chord view looks like ...
(legend >>> ! = bar seperator.)

rd,rd ! rd,rd ! rd,rd ! rd,rd ! C,D ! C,D ! G, A ! G,A ! and the rest of the chord sheet.
C and D are just chord examples.
in summary...actually most times i have a 4 bar count in of an rd followed by the
song chords. sometimes i might have a bigger count in viz bars in case i might have eg a spoken intro. (eg the song 'my granny told me...etc' ) in the songs in my sig.
it has a spoken lyric at intro...lol.
SO in summary i dont bother with any music apps metronome.
the benefit also of the self created rd intro is when i exchange tracks tween different music apps. eg a song created in rband or bb then dropped into reaps where i might add something else.
hope i make sense.

happiness.
