Very simple, no-thrills pre-play count in, located at metronome popup. Your regular 1-2-3-4 count in before play. In many situations I just want to record straight away, specially with long loops where you don’t want to wait for a full cycle.
There’s probably a way to accomplish this with clip actions but I believe it’s too intricate for something that should be very simple, accesible and linked to the project/metronome.
