thanks Lam, I'll try it later.
Taking a quick look it seems not to be the same thing... maybe I'm wrong, I have to look into it.

Anyway, I need a visual, customizable metronome that emits bright flashes of different colors, just like jvmeter.
Can tick do this job?
Or do you have some other suggestion

If you need "bright flashes" it may not be what you're looking for. If you need sound and "visual" clues it does the job.

Almost do the job....thank you.

I need it not for mix but for live application, in order to achieve the drummer stayng in time durig backing tracks reproduction (becose He hate acoustic click with hearphone, and I agree with him) and, same time, have stereo reproduction of the backing track without external soundcard by the normal minijack plug of the notebook.

Anyway, Tick can be usefull and we will give a chance in a test session.

My thought is that vjmetro could be perferct, for the flash sure, that's why I'd like install it.

technical help, suggestions or other applications to try, are appreciated

Tick metronome

Where the deb installer puts the vst3 files? I think Mixbus/ardour does not found them. Or something else is going on here.

Yes, the deb installer location is wrong.
I had to manually rename and move the folder from

Code: Select all

/usr/local/lib/vst3/Contents/...

to

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/vst3/TICK.vst3/Contents/...

For me that seems to be just what I would need. I hate audible metronoms, those ticks drive me nuts. Yeah, mostly I put some simple drumbeat running, but have to test this.

I am not aware If similar metronomes under Linux... it would be nice to have one. But I just found an online one that maybe is applicable for you (not sure how accurate in timing/visual is, but looks like it could do the job).

These two are also very good and quite in line with your needs.
