Is there any metronome plug-in for ProTools or Logic?

[Kevinology]

Well, I need metronome with voice count.
Until now I have made and used audio sources myself, but is there a plug-in that enables these functions?

[DC-Choppah]

I use Protools.

We have gotten away from using the metronome plugin, and instead record a voice track that speaks the count like a conductor, and even narrates things like intros and cues, "solo coming up". Less expeirenced musicians find this really helpful and gets them to give a good performance.

This is especially helpful if you start with a natural free meter recorded from a live performance and then derive a tempo map from it. You can voice over the count and spoken cues once like a conductor. Then folks can go and make their tracks while listening for the count and cues from the real person.

Sorry man, there is no plugin that I know of that speaks the beats. Folks just record "one" "two" "three" "four' and loop it. You can burn this track into your template so it will be a part of a new project. Always set the track to be tempo based.

Record yourself or someone with a suitably cutting/annoying voice saying "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8" along with "and".

Might need to do a few speeds, as in fast tracks need short versions of the numbers.

The load it into your favourite sampler, and trigger it as needed. Custom metronome at your finger tips

I found a set of count and cue samples somewhere on the web, with an American Female voice saying Intro, Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Solo, etc, and also saying 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

I dropped all these into a Sampler instrument in Logic (remembering to set all the samples to one shot, so they play out even after the note ends) I mapped the count to C3 upwards and the cues to C4 upwards

Then when I need a guide track for backing tracks I pull that instrument up. Our musicians and singers refer to this affectionately as 'Annoying American Girlie'
