How do you enable the Metronome click and adjust its timing subdivisions?

• A. Configure subdivisions in Preferences > Metronome only.
• B. Click the Metronome button in the Transport; configure subdivisions in Preferences > Metronome (e.g., 1/4, 1/8 notes, triplets) and volume.
• C. Metronome settings are found in the Video menu.
• D. Subdivisions can only be changed by manually tapping.

Answer: (B)

In Pro Tools the metronome is controlled in two steps: first, you turn the metronome on by clicking the Metronome button in the Transport, which enables the click during playback or recording. Then you set exactly how the beat is subdivided by going to Preferences > Metronome, where you can choose subdivisions such as quarter notes, eighth notes, or triplets, and also adjust the click volume. This setup lets you quickly enable the click while dialing in the desired subdivision feel for your project. The other options miss one of these essentials or point to the wrong place in the menu, so they don’t provide the correct workflow.
