Monitor Armed Tracks
MENU | Machine Setup | Audio I/O | Mon Armed Tracks
The Monitor Armed Tracks function determines how “armed” tracks are monitored and metered —
when a track’s MON button is toggled off.
Use the following steps to set how armed tracks are monitored:
1. On the Setup Audio I/O Menu, select the MON ARMED TRACKS function. The current
setting is highlighted.
2. Select the desired monitor function choice:
•
WHEN NOT PLAYING: When a track is armed, you will monitor and meter the
input when the TCR is stopped.
• WHEN RECORDING: When a track is armed, you will monitor and meter the
input only when the TCR is recording.
In Chapter 6, refer to the “Monitoring and Metering Rules” section for a discussion of how the
MON and ARM buttons work with the meters.

The current setting is highlighted.
