[17:24] <jukebohi> Hello and big thanks for the awesome US distribution and packaging. Have a question: How do I turn off and on the monitoring to main out in Ardour?
[17:25] <OvenWerks> It depends on how you are doing your minotring. Are you using the monitor section in Ardour?
[17:26] <jukebohi> When I first started Ardour it asked if I have external monitoring solution or monitor from Ardour and I chose the monitoring in Ardour, but I need to turn it off and on
[17:26] <OvenWerks> The monitor section has a mute and a dim button
[17:26] <jukebohi> Ok. Thanks OvenWerks. I'll check now
[17:27] <OvenWerks> In the mixer window it may be hidden, but the master strip has a button to show it close to the mute button.
[17:28] <OvenWerks> it is labeled with an "O" (???)
[17:28] <OvenWerks> or "Mon" if the strip is wider
[17:35] <OvenWerks> jukebohi: I would suggest that having Ardour do the monitoring is not the best way of doing things if it can be avoided.
[17:36] <OvenWerks> Most audio devices made for recording allow mixing the input with the computer output for "zero latency" record monitoring
[17:37] <jukebohi> I found the mute/unmute in the mixer view, but not the other
[17:37] <jukebohi> OvenWerks: this is just for amateur stuff, no pro thing or anything even close
[17:38] <OvenWerks> Getting low latency for through the computer monitoring means the cpu will run harder and the possibility of getting xruns (which show up as pops and clicks).
[17:38] <OvenWerks> you may have to enable the monitor section.
[17:38] <OvenWerks> session->properties->monitoring
[17:38] <OvenWerks> there is a check box there.
[17:39] <OvenWerks> (hmm, this has changed in version 6)
[17:44] <OvenWerks> (don't worry about version 6 though it is a long way from ready)
[18:08] <jukebohi> I enabled it, but I don't see anything different in the Editor view. Anyways, the mute button in the mixer view does what I need, thanks for your help OvenWerks
[18:08] <OvenWerks> your welcome.

[20:07] <indianfluteguy[m> I too had this bug. Strange, I thought the USB port was the problem. Its fixed as soon as the mouse was changed to another port.

[22:06] <Eickmeyer[m]> indianfluteguy: There is nothing we can do about it. It's a known bug that needs to be worked on by another team.
