Need metronome to click in 2 with 6/8 time signature

I don’t think setting the project time signature to 6/8 will set the click to dotted quarters. I’ve never been able to get that result. I would LOVE to be wrong about this!

The funny thing is I’m pretty sure you COULD do this until Cubase 8.

I remembered this: [gelöst] externe VST² - sidechain einrichten - Auf Deutsch - Steinberg Forums
and I just tried it in Cubase 7 and you could set the count base to 3/8 in Cubase 7. Might be a little programming slip, but I definitely agree with NYFC that the whole metronome could be improved.

Yes, it does seem that this no longer works in Cubase 8.0.20 (but, oddly enough, setting the Count Base to 3/8 does work, but only for the pre-count).
Generally, the best workaround solution is to create a dedicated MIDI/=Instrument track for the click, and just program it however you wish )
