<p>Ardour has three main settings which affect how
|
|
monitoring is performed. The first is
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Edit > Preferences > Signal Flow >
|
|
Record monitoring handled by</kbd>. There are two or three
|
|
options here, depending on the capabilities of the hardware.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p> The other two settings are more complex. One is
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Tape machine mode</kbd>, found in the
|
|
same dialog, and the other is the
|
|
<kbd class="option">Session > Properties > Monitoring
|
|
automatically follows transport state</kbd> setting.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Monitoring also depends on the state of the track's record-enable button,
|
|
the session record-enable button, and on whether or not the transport is
|
|
rolling.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Software or Hardware Monitoring Modes</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If Ardour is set to <dfn>external monitoring</dfn>, Ardour does not do any
|
|
monitoring.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<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.
