Selecting Record Monitor Modes
with TrackInput 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 pro-
vides the necessary monitoring flexibility for over-
dubbing and mixing, and is similar to input switch-
ing 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.
When the TrackInput button in a track is disabled,
the track monitors in Auto Input mode.
To toggle the monitoring mode of audio tracks, do
one of the following:
 To toggle individual tracks, click the TrackInput
Monitor button for each track you want to tog-
gle.
 To toggle all tracks in the session, Option-click
(Mac) or Alt-click (Windows) a TrackInput
Monitor button.
 To toggle all selected tracks in the session,
Option-Shift-click (Mac) or Alt-Shift-click
(Windows) a selected track’s TrackInput Moni-
tor button.
