The big clock is very useful when you need to work away from the screen but still want to see the playhead position clearly (such as when working with a remote control device across, or in another, room). The big clock will also change its visual appearance to indicate when active recording is taking place.

In normal mode Ardour created a new region which if you look carefully has been layered on top of the the existing (longer) region. The lower track is in non-layered mode, and rather than overlay the overdub region, it split the existing region and inserted the new overdub region in between. </p>

The set of buttons below the main track controls controls the MIDI channels that should be visible in the editor.

Clicking on a channel number toggles its visibility.</p>
|
||||
<p>To the right of the MIDI track controls is a representation of a piano keyboard called the ‘scroomer’. This performs a couple of functions. Firstly, the scrollbar controls the range of pitches that are visible on the track. Drag the body of the scrollbar up and down to display higher or lower pitches. Drag the scrollbar ‘handles’ to zooms in and out and increase and decrease the range of visible pitches. The piano keyboard gives a reference for the pitches visible on the track. In addition, clicking on the piano plays the corresponding MIDI note for reference. </p>

<p>There are further options with when solo controls are listen controls: the part of the track or bus from which the listen signal is obtained can be configured. Underneath the ‘Solo controls are Listen controls’ option in ‘Ardour Preferences’ is an option for ‘listen position’, which can be either After-Fade Listen (AFL) or Pre-Fade Listen (PFL). AFL, as its name suggests, obtains its signal from some point after the track or bus’ fader, and PFL from before it. The precise point to get the signal from can further be configured using the ‘PFL signals come from’ and ‘AFL signals come from’ options.</p>

<p> Here we have a number of tracks or busses (in orange). Each one has an output which feeds the master bus. In addition, each has PFL and AFL outputs; we have a choice of which to use. PFL/AFL from each track or bus are mixed. Then, whenever anything is set to AFL/PFL, the monitor out becomes just those AFL/PFL feeds; the rest of the time, the monitor out is fed from the master bus.</p>

<p>In this scheme Solo has no effect other than to mute other non-soloed tracks; with solo (rather then listen), the monitor out is fed from the master bus.</p>
