How would you configure a click track to stay in sync with tempo changes during recording?

• A. Ensure a tempo map is present and active; turn on Metronome; the click follows tempo changes.
• B. Turn off the Metronome to keep the click fixed.
• C. Disable tempo map and record with fixed tempo.
• D. Set the session tempo to 90 and never change.

Answer: (A)

A click stays in sync with tempo changes when a tempo map is present and active and the metronome is enabled to follow tempo. The tempo map defines how the tempo changes across the session, and with the metronome set to follow those changes, the click automatically adjusts its rate to match each tempo alteration. If there’s no tempo map or the metronome isn’t configured to follow tempo, the click would stay at a fixed BPM and drift relative to the music as tempo changes. So, create and enable tempo changes (Tempo ruler/Tempo list) and turn on the metronome so the click tracks the evolving tempo during recording.
