Metronome - has no sound

Cubase

Hi, using Cubase 12 on Windows 10 with a Focusrite Scarlett.
My metronome has no sound? I recently fixed audio import preview so I could hear a preview of the sample I was importing by going to Studio/audio connections/control room. (in/out Focusrite USB)
But now the metronome is silent. If I set it to my internal soundcard, there is a delay which makes it impossible to use. Any idea what I can do to preview samples and run the metronome? Thanks! :wink:

Do you have Control Room enabled? If so, check if the metronome is muted within the Control Room panel.

Wow, thanks to both of you for bringing this up and posting the solution!! :smiley: For years I’ve thought the only way possible to hear the metronome was by connecting the audio device in the ‘Outputs’ panel and therefore disconnecting it from the control room. I never noticed that second ‘Activate Metronome Click’ button in the CR panel before! :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth:

I know this post is a little old, but I had the same problem, but I NEVER use control room and yet the ‘Active Metronome Click’ button was de-activated. So, why does this happen? Moreover, the little icon on the transport control bar was showing the metronome was activated before I went into the control room.

Hi,

If you are not using Control Room, open the Studio > Audio Connections > Outputs. Right-click the wanted output and enable the Main Mix. The metronome is going to be routed here.
