As Jim said; an essential when layering.

In Logic Pro, when using a click track, I don't think of it as beats in a measure. It's just a continuing beat at “X” number of bpm. Often I hang an extra beat or two/three in measures. I'll go by feel. Also, I've trained myself to ignore the click during ritards, accelerandos, or free cadenza-type episodes. Too lazy to turn the click off.

Anyway, thank goodness for the click track. It would add hours to the recording session without it.
