I would like to have precount start at the left locater if I choose to
It automatically keeps Jumping back to the beginning of the bar, however, I might just want to record at the middle of the bar or in a specific starting point.
I should be allowed to choose where I want to record if using precount. Seems odd that I can’t
Well, if your Precount is set to 1 bar, in the Metronome Setup window, you’d want to hear one bar of click, surely? With what you are asking, if you had placed your Cursor at 05:03:02:87, would you really want the click to start a 04:03:02:87 (where there wouldn’t be any (quarter-note) click until 04:04:00:00 anyways)?
It does not have to sync up.
It can just count a bar in with the tempo I set
And start recording from where I want
Seems basic
I rarely record with a metronome, but if one wanted then the metronome could just start on the next appropriate beat
