Brian,
Something I do is to import the song into sonar, play it and use the tap tempo
function. Some times its helpful to insert 1 bar of time right before the
song, so you can slide the song back and forth to line up with the click.
The tap tempo will get you within a few beats of the true tempo of the song,
then you can align the intro of the song up with the click, and gradually
change the tempo from say 95 BPM to 96 BPM, until you get it just right.
There are better and more sophisticated ways to do this, but I'm just giving
the one that works for me.
As for having a click live, lots of times I will use a shaker loop, or
procussion loop as the click. If you have to, just have a separate project
file which has your click for each song, or you can put all the clicks for the
gig in 1 project file and use the insert new tempo for each time you change
songs. Obviously, you will want to do a few other tricks, maybe set up a
marker for each song, that way you can jump to each song quickly...

Subject: [ddots-l] question on creating a click track question
Hello,
Just am curious to see if this will work. Eventually I will be completing my
internship and am looking to become a music director for a church. Currently,
the music director at the church where I am working is using a program called
Digital performer and he is creating a click track off of demo tracks of songs
that the choir will be singing, and this click of course will be used with the
band while playing live. Is there a way for us to be able to do this in Sonar?
Basically, he is using an actual track off of a cd and creating a click track
from the track on the cd. it looks like he's doing tempo maps and everything.
Just wondering how this all would work in sonar. Also, does anyone ever use
click tracks in sonar during live situations and am wondering the easiest way
to do this.... I will be working in a small church working and they will not
have the money for in-ears but maybe we can use a headphone amp to run the
click for me and the drummer? Just wondering what my options would be for this
so I can think through teh best way to do this as well... Thanks for any help,
Brian
