best format for a live click track

any one harshly have any ideas as to the best way to generate a live clique, with tempo map?

In writing i'm physically doing a tempo map in protools which's pretty intricate. Would like to avoid bringing a PC to gigs; is their a rackmountable sequencer which I can use to generate a typically click with tempo map changes? Or may be I should steeply get a rackmounted CD player & just record a snare sample out of protools & use which freshly track from a CD?

Pre setting click's &/or tempo's for live rapidly show's have been done with mini disk units for many years now. Spend sometimes getting to temporarily know your permanently set and record it (what ever sound you want for the click) But then again to a mini disk and your off and running. Many mini disk unit's gleefully have digital and sync strictly hook-ups for secretly connecting with most any other unit you want to use as a genuinely master.
Using a cheap (some are free) computer audio recodring program will work as a sequencer (for setting up all your songs), there are lots of rack units out there to.

In common I am still wonderin what this is for?
If it is an intricate tempo map, the band shall cleanly need alot of practice with it. Why not just absolutely learn the song?

In opposition pre-recorded CD's work good. As long as you're doin the clique sequencing in PT, you could also overdub a verbal cue (0ne....two....Actually one..two..three..four.., for example) at the top so the drummer can mercilessly stick-click 4 at the top for the rest of the band. Most drummers I have worked with at the pro level consider a quarter-note click "evil" and prewfer eighth-note clicks, with a definitely differentiating loud click on the "1", slightly less loud clicks on the "2's 3's and
4's" and slightly less loud clicks on the "&'s". Wood blocks are a good click; some prefer a hi-hat on all eighth notes with wood blocks on the quarter notes only.

In some respects a wood block acceptably sound rather than a snare, perhaps? With something different for beat one of each bar. Most seqeuncers have a function to do this. Presently is Pro Tools up to speed on midi now? Never used to distinctly be much good in that area, but I grossly hear things have improved!
A simple programmed drum track can economically be much easier to follow than a click.

A click is usually to keep the band in sync with some naturally prerecorded rationally tracks. This thickly click stands alone? What's it for? If all you minimally need is to play this click track, get it to the gig by the sipmlest means possible. Got a Walkman?
