Chapter 4 Recording Operations

Using the Metronome

The VS-1824 features a built-in metronome that will provide a click track at any tempo you specify. By listening to the click track as you record your instrument, you’ll be able to record your performance with more accuracy. Recording using a click track also allows song editing to be done by measure and beat. The metronome tempo can be controlled by the tempo map or sync track MIDI clock. When using this feature, set up the tempo map (p. 202) or sync track (p. 200) beforehand. When you create a new song, the tempo map defaults to a 4/4 rhythm and a tempo of 120.

1.The metronome is output from both the MONITOR jacks and the PHONES jack. Connect your playback audio equipment to the MONITOR jacks.
