Audio recording - skip external audio

[FranR]

Hi there. I don't think I saw this question posted before. Say I use the external audio input to listen to a metronome while playing. Is there a way to record audio without recording that metronome sound? that is, to record only what I'm playing without recording the external audio I'm listening to?

 

I saw some other posts about alternatives to metronomes, but they didn't quite addressed this.

I'm trying to think of a workaround.  The audio recorder will always record the line inputs and audio input, that can't be changed.  Can you describe what setup you have?  Are you using headphones or speakers as monitors?

Could you use a small stereo mixer, like this: https://artproaudio.com/product/powermix-iii-three-channel-personal-stereo-mixer/

Well, that is that then. Is not a big deal, I can put the metronome through the external mixer as Mike suggested, one more cable crossing the room wont kill me (maybe wife will, though). I just thought that with all the nice tools the PX-5S is loaded with I was missing something.

Thanks folks!
