You can also enter a new cursor position here and Adobe Audition will recalibrate the session, including negative time. This is so you can line up your metronome with a song that's already been created and you're adding more to. Any point can be at any time, so that you know the metronome beat will be in the right place. • Reset 1:1 to Cursor: Press this button to set the cursor to the first beat of the first measure. • Song Start: The exact position (stated in milliseconds) of the beginning of the song is shown here.

Check the Enable Metronome box to hear the "ticks" of the metronome whenever you play or record something in Adobe Audition's Multitrack view.

Uncheck the box to be Metronome-free Sound Set Use this drop-down list to select from different types of metronome sounds. Volume Enter the desired volume of the metronome sounds in this text box. The default is -6dB. A higher number (such as -3dB) makes the metronome sounds louder, while a lower number (like -10dB) decreases the metronome volume. Signature Select the appropriate time signature using this drop-down list. The current signature pattern is displayed in the non-editable Pattern field. Custom time signatures may be added using the Custom... button. Custom Press this button to bring up the Customize Metronome Time Signature dialog.
