What's included
Custom BPM and time signature
Set your exact tempo and choose from common time signatures — 4/4, 3/4, 6/8 and more — for every click track you build.
WAV export
Export your click track as a WAV file, ready to import into any DAW, click-track playback system, or in-ear monitor rig.
Count-in bars included
Add count-in bars before the click starts so the band has time to lock in before the first beat.
A click track made for live performance
A click track is a metronome recording exported as an audio file — used in live performance to keep the band locked to a consistent tempo, typically via in-ear monitors or a dedicated click output on the mixing desk. Building one used to mean firing up a DAW, configuring a metronome track, setting the BPM, exporting the audio, and naming the file correctly for your setlist.
Dashplan's Click Track Maker does this in the browser with no DAW required. Set the tempo, choose the time signature, decide how many count-in bars to include, and export the WAV. The file is ready to drop into your live playback system, your Ableton set, or your QLab cue — wherever you need it.
For bands running backing tracks, a click track is what keeps the live performance synchronised with the recorded elements. Without a click, the drummer is playing to feel and the tracks play to time — the gap becomes noticeable, especially in quiet passages or after a bridge. A click track eliminates the drift.
Count-in bars matter more than many bands account for. Starting cold into a song at an exact BPM without a few beats to lock in is harder than it sounds — especially after the nerves of an intro, a costume change, or a gear adjustment. Build count-in bars into every click track and the first note of the song lands correctly.
Because click tracks live in your Dashplan dashboard alongside your setlist, you can store the BPM per song in the Setlist Manager and generate the corresponding click track without switching tools. Your full setlist worth of click tracks can be built, named and exported in one session.

What time signatures are supported?+
Dashplan's Click Track Maker supports common time signatures including 4/4, 3/4, 6/8 and others — covering most live performance needs.
Do I need a DAW to build a click track?+
No. Dashplan's Click Track Maker runs entirely in the browser. Set your parameters and export the WAV without opening any audio software.

Yes. The Click Track Maker is included in the standard Dashplan subscription alongside the Gig Manager, Setlist Manager, Stage Plot Builder and all other tools.
