Another funny solution - used by list member Andrew Chaikin AKA Kid Beyond and many others - is to mix the countdown into the backing track and make it sound as something you play on your instrument. With most instruments you can get away with looking as if playing for one bar, or just make some intro noise that will mask out the countdown for anyone that isn't particularly listening for it. I used that trick a lot during the nineties when touring with a trio doing DAT playback shows with some live instruments and no time for soundcheck what-so-ever... :-) Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.perboysen.com http://www.youtube.com/perboysen On Mon, Jul 2, 2012 at 2:25 PM, Simeon Harris <simeonharris40@googlemail.com> wrote: > yeah, i've looked at the boss BR micro recorders and they would be > perfect, except they only have one output. the zoom R8 and R16 look > like possibilities (the R16 will definitely send a click to the > headphone out....not sure about the R8), but again, it's overkill for > what i need... > > On Mon, Jul 2, 2012 at 1:21 PM, Per Boysen <perboysen@gmail.com> wrote: >> I don't know any such product, except for multi-track recorders with >> multiple outputs.
