4 The Master strip in the mixer
9 The <dfn>Master strip</dfn> in Ardour is very similar to the other busses mixer strips.
10 The list of differences is (from top to bottom):
14 <li>There is no color affected to the master strip</li>
15 <li>The master strip cannot be hidden, so there is not <kbd class="menu">X</kbd> in the top right</li>
16 <li>It is by definition always solo, so no <kbd class="menu">Solo</kbd>, <kbd class="menu">Iso</kbd> or <kbd class="menu">Lock</kbd> buttons. It is replaced by a button to show the Monitoring section if <a href="@@session-properties#properties-monitoring">the session has one</a></li>
17 <li>It cannot belong to a mix group, so the button is removed.</li>
21 The Master bus strip is <em>always</em> fixed, at the right end of the mixer, regardless of the scrolling position.
