Click

The Click plug-in creates an audio click during
session playback that you can use as a tempo ref-
erence when performing and recording. The
Click plug-in receives its tempo and meter data
from the Pro Tools application, enabling it to
follow any changes in tempo and meter in a ses-
sion. The Click plug-in is a mono-only plug-in.
Several click sound presets are included.
