Audacity also has a "generate click" feature which is nice.

@SonicOrbStudios Hey Sonic!

Yes, Audacity has this feature, and it is very useful for sure. To set the click track using this feature would require that you know how many beats per minute the song in question is, and then set the click at that speed. The method I've chosen to illustrate doesn't require knowledge of bpm (actually, I'm too lazy to figure it out :) ). Thanks for the comment!
