<li><dfn>Soloing</dfn>: This indicates when one or more tracks or busses are currently being soloed. See <a href="/mixing/muting-and-soloing/">Muting and Soloing</a>. Clicking on this indicator cancels all currently soloed channels or busses</li>
- <li><dfn>Auditioning</dfn>: This indicates when an audio file is being listened to directly, e.g. when using the import dialogue, or using the <kbd class="menu">Audition</kbd> context menu in the <a href="/ardours-interface/the-editor/the-editor_s-lists/region-list/">Regions List</a>.

<h2>The Processors button</h2>
<p>
- Clicking the <dfn>Processors</dfn> button show or hides the Monitor Sections processor box. This is used in the same way as processor boxes present in <a href="/ardours-interface/the-mixer/audio-midi-mixer-strips/">tracks</a> and
- <a href="/ardours-interface/the-mixer/busses-mixer-strips/">busses</a>. It can be used to insert pugins, e.g. a room correction EQ or a specific metering type.

As this processing is local to the Monitor Section it is only applied to audio that is ultimately available at the monitor outputs.
<h2>Solo level controls</h2>
<p>
- These controls set the level of the audio when a channel or bus solo is engaged.

<dl>
<dt>Solo Boost</dt><dd>This is the level that will be added to the current main monitor level when a track or bus is soloed, providing a conveniant boost in level for the isolated signal. The rotary control has a range of 0dB to +10dB and can be set at any point between these two values. A drop down menu with pre-defined values is also provided for convenience.</dd>
<p>
The Dim level control sets the amount by which the monitoring will be reduced when a Dim button is engaged. The rotary control has a range of -20dB to 0dB and can be set at any point between these two values. A drop down menu with pre-defined values is also provided for convenience.
