Click Track - 1 - What is a click Track?          
 
A click track is a recorded backing to a live performance. It can be used either as the entire sound where the performers mime along, or as an enhancement to the live on-stage sound.
 The recording has two components, which must be kept separate: -
  1. The performance (or backing track) which the audience will hear and
  2. The 'click' (click track or timing pulse), heard by the conductor/musicians and/or the performers.
As these must be kept separate, you must have at least a two-track recorder. If you want the backing track to be in stereo, you must have a three-track recorder. Essentially, the number of tracks recorded must be the number of tracks that make up the backing track plus one for the click.
