Adding a Count-in to Match the Timing (Count-In)
When you’re playing along with a song, you can make sure that your playing
is in time with the song by sounding a count before the song starts playing.
Sounding a “count sound” leading up to playback of a song is called “Count-
In.”
On the DP-900, if you playback a song while the metronome is sounding, two
measures of lead-in count will be heard at the beginning of the song.
