title: Master Bus Strip
---
The Master strip in Ardour is very similar to the other busses mixer strips.
The list of differences is (from top to bottom):
- There is no color affected to the master strip
- The master strip cannot be hidden, so there is not in the top right
- It is by definition always solo, so no , or buttons. It is replaced by a button to show the Monitoring section if the session has one
- It cannot belong to a mix group, so the button is removed.
The Master bus strip is allways fixed, at the right end of the mixer, regardless of the scrolling position.
