Introduction
With the introduction of Playback 7.7.0, Playback users can now add a "Click Section" at any point in a song. Whether at the beginning, end, or any point in the middle, adding a click section can help in the planning of spontaneous moments or space in your setlists!
Before getting started
Adding an infinite click section into Playback will require a user has a Playback Premium seat active.
'Click Sound' setting: Click Sections can only be added in Playback when Playback is using a "Built-In" click. Click Sections will not be available to add if utilizing the "Downloaded" click sound. (Adjust in the "General" tab of settings)
Adding a Click Section in Playback
Adding a click section into an existing song is very simple. First head into the main setlist edit mode by tapping the “Edit” button toward the top-right of the Playback app.
Then, select the song you want, and in the waveform section for the song, use the “+” button to open the song section menu, and select the “Click Section” from the list of song sections to add the click section after the existing song section in your selected song.
Note: A Click Section will have a pre-set infinite loop by default when added, this can be disabled by tapping the infinite loop ∞ icon on the song section, while till in the main Setlist / Song Map Edit mode.
Selecting 2 bar or 4 bar for Click Sections
The click sections can be either 2 bar, or 4 bar song sections, depending on preference. This can be changed on a per-song basis at the very bottom of each song’s edit menu.
Tap “Edit” in Playback’s top-right corner, and then tap on the middle of the song needing the change.
Scroll to the bottom of the edit menu and select the click section length from there. Finally, click “Update” to commit and update the change for that song.
