Recording click tracks in Logic 7...

Does anyone have a tried and true, simple way of creating an audio click track file in Logic? I am preparing pre-records for a scoring session and need to create an audio click track to take with me as well.

I know I could route the metronome to an external midi box and buss back in the audio and record that, but that seems pretty ridiculous to introduce possible latency by going through midi, only to convert the analog click back to digital audio.

I've tried messing around with the Klopgeist, or whatever it's called, but can't seem to record the audio from it. I also have Stylus RMX and would love to use the Urei click in the utilities menu, but then I don't know how to send the metronome signal to it.

Anybody figure this out, or am I missing something really simple here? (probably the latter!)

Dual 2.3 Ghz G5, Mac OS X (10.4.2), Logic Pro 7.1.1, 4.5 GB RAM

simply bounce to disk klopfgeist.

i don't think you even have to bring it up in arrange. simply turn on the the metronome button and turn on solo with nothing selected (so only the click will play) and bounce the right output.

to find what the right output is, go to audio->audioconfiguration. klopfgeist is set to audio instrument 128. look at what audio output it is set to.

if you don't have klopfgeist set as your click for some reason, hold down the metronome button and go to recording options from the pop-up menu. or you can find it in song preferences in "file" as well.

make sure that klopfgeist has been selected and that midi click is deactivated. select an output for klopfgeist.

you can use klopfgeist as an audio instrument and put in normal midi regions which it will play. i sometimes do this when i want the click to break into subdivisions for really complex rubato passages.
