A click track is a series of audio cues used to synchronize sound recordings, sometimes for synchronization to a moving image. The click track originated in early sound movies, where optical marks were made on the film to indicate precise timings for musical accompaniment. It can also serve a purpose similar to a metronome, as in the music industry, where it is often used during recording sessions and live performances. As opposed to saying 1, 2, 3, 4.... Ta for the explanation though. Basically, a digital metronome I suppose. π Type in "U2 IEM" on YT and you'll get a few clips of what the click is like in artist's ears during live gigs

Click tracks are like influencers. In the sense that I have no idea what they are Here's Army, from Knebworth '90, with just Drums / Keys in the mix and the click track

It's a bit like computer programming or car mechanics. You need to baby talk me through it

Who done the double kick drum part in Rain first and not Matt. Just listening to Sheffield 1991 here. Noticed it... You think you know something and everything, but really, you don't. Ashamed of myself tbh Yeah, probably need to ban you from the forum for that mate. We appreciate all the contributions you've made, and all the best for the future. Get rid of 'im. An by the way, who's Jeff?

I get the idea π I'm going to drag it out for one more post At the end of Dreamin' you can hear the click track still going before it fades out And, you can just about hear the click for the Army track. Someone fucks up and starts playing before the stage tape actually comes in. There's also this performance of Army from Stockholm in which they played it more like the album version, which was the only time the ever played it like this - for some reason
