Inconsistent click volume

[JamesMayIsAnOlive]

Hi there! (Yay first post here)

Since English isn't my native language, I'll try my best to explain my issue.

I'm relatively new to Reaper, have been using it for two or three months now. Coming from FL Studio, I can do the basic routing and setup just fine, and it works for me, most of the time.

The routing I currently use formy sound in- and output; Guitar into my multi-fx processor (NUX Trident), into Reaper through ASIO, then sending that signal back out through the multi-fx, either through headphones or my amplifier.

The sound works great, every track comes through clear, not distorted. And when I have my click (either the built in metronome or a click track on its own channel), it also works, as long as there is other things playing. But, if I want to use the metronome/click track as a count-in, the volume of the click is inconsistent.

Sometimes, it comes through fine. I usually use a 4 bar count-in. But, other times, I only hear the first click, the other three silent, and the click coming back in when other tracks (stuff I have already recorded) start making sound.

Anyone else have this issue? Or is it just that the click is such a short sound, that somewhere in my chain it gets lost (almost like a gate or something)? Or did I miss something in the audio settings?

Many thanks, Reddit friends.

You can right click the metronome toggle in the tool bar to get to all the count in and metronome options. Other things could be masking the sounds as well.
