There are some musicians who pour scorn at the notion of needing assistance with their innate sense of timing. While they probably have a point, the technique of performing to a ‘click track’ needn’t always be a dirty concept and especially in GarageBand. While real drummers aren’t fond of the practice, it can be hugely useful for adhering to a strict tempo and capturing a tighter performance. Most basically, GarageBand’s click track is its digital metronome that can simply be toggled to hear beat ticks signifying the project’s time signature and master tempo. However, you may also prefer to use a basic percussion loop, Drummer track or even your own MIDI region that can have its click sounds changed.
