Pro,yes that was my first port of call. However it makes no difference as when I uncheck the click on count in it re appears and I get a count in if I hit record.
Have you tried turning the pre-count off (not just the metronome, the pre-count is a separate button next to the metronome one) using the button on the transport bar, this after all is what should turn it on or off? I assumed you’d started there but maybe not.
Not at my PC at the moment but from memory it’s a triangle with a line to one side (no idea why!). It may not be visible on the transport bar by default.
Of course, it’s never been on on the tool bar. I tried looking for some hidden symbol I was missing perhaps by adding every possible tool there was to the bar but nope.
It’s not been confirmed as a bug by a Steinberg Employee as far as I can see from that post though it appears many have been able to reproduce it.
It’s never been apparent to me as I always use the button on the toolbar (or actually on an iPad) to turn it on or off.
Glad you have a solution that works anyway and indeed hopefully it will be fixed.
Ive had the same issue. One of my projects has the issue as we speak, and I believe steinberg did acknowledge this. There is at least one other thread about this.
