To answer your question, i am not aware of a sequencer that doesn't have a metronome. Cubase has both midi and audio metronomes. and it's rock solid.
If you are planning on taking it out on the road, you will certainly need a new soundcard. Believe me, you'll understand once you've tried it.

I have a AMD 1 GHz with 640 MB of Ram and a shitty factory sound card. I have been woking with FL for about 2.5 yrs and I have acid 4.0 I'm very familiar with FL and have a decent understanding of Acid. The Hub is a soft hub which emulates an external hub.What operating system do you run? What version of Acid do you run? Is your hub configured properly? Processor speed and the amount of ram you have also play a role in the latency issue.
Does Cubase have a simalar organizational theme as Acid; also does it have a beat counter on longer sounds. My reason for asking is because I'm doing a live pa and I want to mix my tracks with some vinyl that I put on MP3, and acid has a killer beat counter and makes it real easy to match beats [w/o tables]cubase [recommended])
Thanks for your advice
Joe

Never had that kind of sync problem.
What operating system do you run? What version of Acid do you run?
Is your hub configured properly?
Processor speed and the amount of ram you have also play a role in the
latency issue.
My advice to anyone who is setting up to make beats is pick your
favorite app. (fruityloops or acid or cubase [recommended]) and learn
the shit out of it. Don't get in over your head at first. Running into
problems like this will make you a better technician.
As far as the soundcards go...
I would recommend any card by echo/ event= Gina in your case.
Hope this helps,
J.J.

Has anyone ever tried to sync fruity using the internal soft midi hub
called Midi Yoke.
I can get fruity to play when I press play in acid but cannot get acid
to
play when I press play in fruity. Which I think is weird considering
everybody keeps stressing the fact that only fruity can be the master?
The best solution to my sync problem is running fruity as a VSTi in
acid because then the tempos change simultaniously but it taxes the shit
out
of processor, it freezes most of the time and there is a 1-2 sec delay
when
I press play [I think it's a latency issue].
I am very new to midi so I could be wrong about a few things so do not
be
afraid to point any mistakes out please.
Any solutions and ideas will be appreciated thanks
Joe
P.S. I think Acid uses a midi timecode to sync itself with other
programs
fruity recognizes this timecode, however when fruity sends a message to
acid; acid does not recognize this message because it is not in the midi
timecode format. Does that sound correct? if so is there anyway to
change
this?
P.S.S What do people recomend for Studio monitor speakers I was offered
a
pair of New Samson 65a Resolve studio monitor speakers for $199 should I
take the offer up? Also what non-rack sound card recomendations do
people
have I was thinking (Terratec DMX 6 Fire or a Gina) I have no hardware
and
the only peice I think I'm getting is a Drehbank 64 channel midi control
box.
