The other two settings are more complex. One is - Tape machine mode, found in the - same dialog, and the other is the - Session > Properties > Monitoring - automatically follows transport state setting. -

- 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. -

Software or Hardware Monitoring Modes

-If Ardour is set to external monitoring, the explanation of -Ardour's monitoring behaviour is simple: it does not do any. + Ardour has two main settings which affect how monitoring is performed. + The first is Edit > Preferences > Monitoring > + Record monitoring handled by.

Monitoring in Non-Tape-Machine Mode

- When Tape-Machine mode is off, and a track is armed, - Ardour always monitors the live input, except in one case: - the transport is rolling, the session is not recording, and - auto-input - is active. In this case only, you will hear playback from an armed track. + The other setting is the Session > Properties > + Track Input Monitoring automatically follows transport state + (auto-input).

- Unarmed tracks will play back their contents from disc, unless the - transport is stopped and auto-input is enabled. - In this case, the track monitors its live input. + Monitoring also depends on the state of the track's record-enable button + and the session record-enable button, as well as on whether or not the + transport is rolling.

Monitoring in Tape-Machine Mode

- In Tape-Machine mode, things are slightly simpler: when a - track is armed, its behaviour is the same as in non-tape-machine mode. + If Ardour is set to external monitoring, Ardour does not do any + monitoring.

- Unarmed tracks however will always just play back their contents from - disk; the live input will never be monitored. -
