thanks Rick... 

unfortunately the RC50's midi clock is not stable to drive anything... I 
tried with a Boss DB90 metronome and it shuts off after 2 bars. So, the 
only way I've been able to do it it with the RC-50's stupid guide track...

we use in ears, no one even can see that we have click in our ears....
