While monitoring is a broad term, here we use it to refer to the
|
||||
signal a track delivers to its channel for further processing.
|
||||
There are two available monitoring states.
|
||||
These are
|
||||
'input' (the signal being delivered to a track for potential recording), and
|
||||
'off-disk' (material you have already recorded, or silence in the absence of a region).

Some multichannel audio interfaces have the ability to route an input signal
|
||||
directly to an output with very low or no latency. This is useful if your computer hardware
|
||||
is connected to the tape sends and returns of a mixing console.
|
||||
Whenever monitoring is set to input on a track, the track's input port is connected to its
|
||||
output in hardware (as would happen on a multitrack tape recorder).
|
||||
Hardware monitoring provides the best quality assurance for an engineer, as the signal path
|
||||
is exactly the same for input and off-disk monitoring.
|
||||
Level differences can be heard immediately, as can other gremlins that may ruin your recording.
|
||||
The hardware monitoring setting is only useful for interfaces supporting this feature.

Software monitoring uses software to perform input monitoring.
|
||||
When set to monitor input, a tracks input signal is passed to its channel
|
||||
as if it were coming from disk, allowing plugins to be heard while recording.
|
||||
This introduces an inevitable processing delay, or latency, to the input signal.
|
||||
The size of the delay depends on the current JACK configuration, which should
|
||||
be set to as short as possible while recording.

External Monitoring will silence the output of a track whenever the track is set
|
||||
to monitor input. It is useful if you are listening to the input signal
|
||||
using a path outside your computer (eg a mixing console).

<title>ADAT Monitor Mode</title>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Nearly all traditional tape recorders use the same monitoring model.
|
||||
Normally only tracks that are record-enabled will monitor input with the
|
||||
transport stopped.
|
||||
ADAT machines switch all tracks to input on stop when auto-input is enabled,
|
||||
regardless of record-enable state..
|
||||
ADAT monitor mode emulates this behaviour.
|
||||
Be warned that many tracks sharing the same input (in software monitoring mode)
|
||||
will sum that input through the master buss (potentially including several plugins)
|
||||
whenever the transport is stopped. Since setting up a sound
|
||||
usually involves listening to the input with the transport stopped, you might not be
|
||||
hearing the sound you are about to record!
|
||||
Using this mode can also lead to surprising acoustic feedback.
|
||||
ADAT Monitor Mode is on by default.

When a track is record-enabled, it is set to monitor input
|
||||
regardless of the transport state. Auto input switches to off-disk monitoring
|
||||
when play is engaged. When Ardour is actually recording, the track will be set to
|
||||
monitor input again.
|
||||
Auto-Input is useful for performing punch-ins. Disable auto-input when performing
|
||||
'dry runs' of an overdub to allow a performer to hear themselves while the transport is rolling.

<title>Punch Recording</title>

|

Once you have recorded material onto a track, the simplest way to punch in
|
||||
(or drop in as it is known elsewhere) is to roll the transport and press the
|
||||
master record button at the desired in point. Assuming the desired track is
|
||||
record enabled, its monitoring state will be switched and recording will begin.
|
||||
Pressing it again disengages record.
|
||||
If repeatable punch-ins are required, you may use auto punch.
