Please unlink the click off automatically changing the tempo if recording

This feature is really driving me nuts. I don't like hearing the metronome once I start recording (always use beats), so I turn it off after I record something to hearback without a click. hit record again (commonsense reflex from any other daw) to stop bc no count-in, the tempo resets to whatever the clip length was before I deleted it and I have to do several undo steps-workflow vibe assassin

This seems like a somewhat specialized feature (I would never use) so could it be moved somewhere else?

I think stuff like changing the recording time should be on top menus instead of 3 clicks in and something like this could go elsewhere

Or any easy fix would be to have a "only click for preroll" option like the metronome in reaper

I'm rusty as I haven't used this for a bit and having to relearn everything reminds me it could be easier to get going

Understand. So your scenario is that you want the metronome during count-in but at zero you want it to stop because some other clip already provides the tempo reference?

Precisely, thanks.

Okay. I think an "only click during count-in phase" solution makes sense, no matter what. Making "tempo detection recordings" not the default is probably also a good idea. After the final release, I'm planning to add a menu to the smart-record button for picking various recording modes. Maybe I could move the tempo detection option in there.

Great thanks!

Record button mode menu is an excellent idea-intuitive place to have options
