I've always found GarageBand's "Count In" feature to be somewhat useless when I'm trying to multitrack; a lot of times I don't have time to reach over, start recording, then grab my instrument and get into position before the 1-measure count is over.

Similarly, the built-in metronome is a nice idea, but there's no way I know of to make it louder, and it usually gets buried under your tracks.

I threw together this no-frills, 1-2-3-4 metronome loop using one of the percussion kits, and I've found it pretty handy:
