- These buttons allow switching the monitoring mode globally, for all the tracks at once.
- The monitoring mode allows to decide what the user wants to be listening to, between:
-</p>
-<ul>
- <li><dfn>All In</dfn>: all the tracks play what's on their <em>In</em>puts.</li>
- <li><dfn>All Disk</dfn>: all the tracks play the actual content of the playlist on <em>Disk</em>.</li>
-</ul>
-<p>
- The <kbd class="menu">Auto Input</kbd> switch allows Ardour to auto-select what is played, which is:
-</p>
-<ul>
- <li>When not playing: all tracks are on In (to listen to any connected source)</li>
- <li>When playing, all tracks are on Disk (to play whatever was recorded on those tracks)</li>
- <li>When recording, on rec-enabled tracks: In and on non rec-enabled ones: Disk</li>
-</ul>
