Selecting Record Monitor Modes with Track Input Monitoring
TrackInput monitoring lets you toggle individual audio tracks between Auto Input and Input Only monitoring modes at any time, during playback, recording, while stopped, and even when a track is not record-enabled. TrackInput monitoring provides the necessary monitoring flexibility for overdubbing and mixing, and is similar to input switching on analog multitrack recorders and similar machines.
When the TrackInput button in a track is enabled (green), the track monitors audio in Input Only mode.
