<h2>Monitoring in Non-Tape-Machine Mode</h2>
<p>
When <dfn>Tape-Machine mode is off</dfn>, and a track is armed, Ardour
<em>always</em> monitors the live input, except in one case: if the transport is
rolling, the session is not recording, and <dfn>auto-input</dfn> is active,
the playback from an armed track will be heard.
</p>
<p>
Unarmed tracks will play back their contents from disc, unless the
transport is stopped <em>and</em> <dfn>auto-input</dfn> is enabled.
In this case, the track monitors its live input.
</p>
<h2>Monitoring in Tape-Machine Mode</h2>
<p>
In <dfn>Tape-Machine mode</dfn>, when a track is armed, its behaviour is
the same as in non-tape-machine mode.
</p>
<p>
Unarmed tracks however will always just play back their contents from
disk; the live input will never be monitored.
