Cool Edit Pro - Insert metronome?

[BoogieBertil]

Hi!
I have read the manual carefully,
but I still can't insert the metronome
on the timeline.
What do I do wrong?
There's no option for metronome
in the "insert" menu in the multitrack view.

I'm using Audition and I am dealing with the same
issue by routing the click output back in through
an input via my console. It would be nice to just
lay down a click in the software.

Let me ask this a different way ...
Does anyone have a simple util or virtual device
that can route the click output back in to a track
_without_ using a physical output and input ?
I have no shortage of I/O.
( I have an RME HDSP9652 and an Echo Mia installed)
This should be possible because there are ways to
record streaming audio from within the PC.
I tried the wave mapper but it doesn't connect the
output to the input.

why not just create your own click? . . . either get a sample of a
cow-bell or something or create noise or a pitched sound which both
Cool Edit and Audition can do very easily . . . then envelope it to
give the kind of click you like, make exactly the file correct length
for whatever bpm you're working with (a minute's work in Excel and you
can get precise beat and/or bar-lengths for every bpm tempo) by adding
silence. Then simply loop the sound-file on its own track. Should take
a couple of minutes at most. If you want an easier to follow click,
with fractions of a beat, simply add the appropriate length of delay to
the metronome track.

If any of this is too much of a challenge, I can give you a few
suitable click sounds, plus the excel file of all tempo-bpm's with the
corresponding beat and bar-lengths, plus exact instructions on how to
use them in Cool Edit and Audition, all for 15 dollars!

You're supposed to do that in C E Pro.
The manual says so. In multitrack view
the metronome should appear in the insert menu bar.
No out/in routing on the back console needed.
You just have to enable the metronome.
Software bug?
