Anybody have any experience building their own click tracks? I’ve never done it on my own and need something a little more complex than a simple metronome. I’ve heard of some people spending dough on a hardware-based drum machine to do this. Countless others have said to just make click tracks in Guitar Pro. I booted up Guitar Pro some time ago to see if I could take a stab at it, but I came away from it with the impression that I had to invest oodles of time in order to adapt it to do what I want it to (which isn’t what it's designed for at all).

For the software-based approach I think I just need something that would allow me to program in a certain number of measures in a certain time signature and at a certain tempo. Time signatures and tempos would change throughout each song. I would just place a single note of some instrument (cowbell, clave, woodblock, whatever) on every downbeat. I would then bounce this song to an mp3 / wav file and just chuck it on a sampler to either play through a PA or through headphones at practice. I would also want the ability to change that instrument sound with some minor finagling too. (Obviously I would have to re-edit the “song” in whatever software, but I would not want to re-build every measure of a song, just change the instrument sound out). I assume all this would be able to be accomplished in some sort of drum machine software as well. The only issue is that I know precisely dick and squat about what’s good.

Anybody have any suggestions? They would be greatly appreciated. A combination of easy and free/cheap sounds ideal.

Hugs and kisses,

msd
