Turn off Input Monitoring

Comparisons are okay, I do lots of them.

What I don't consider okay is that "hey that Ferrari has 800hp engine, why not every Fiat out there have the same" kind of reasoning...

Actually,

To continue to the previous post...

In Finland we have this joke (and no pun intended for you italianos)

"
Why do you get a Fiat for half price"
-Because one of the two cars is always on the shop!
"

And this was just a joke. Can anyone laugh?

We don't want Ferrari features in our car, but if we I look to the competitors of our Fiat (Skodas, Dacia,...) we see there simple solutions for simple problems. At the same price point or lower!

Well that lasted a good 40 minutes...

While I do appreciate a good scandinavian car joke, it would be nice if you read the last few posts of page 6 and indicated whether or not you are truly clear about what this thread is about...because in all honesty, I'm not sure that you are.

I didn't miss the joke, I just didn't find it particularly funny nor did it seem to have anything to do with the topic...regardless, thanks for editing my posts for me.

I remember the first computer based DAW I owned didn't handle monitoring very well. I think it was called Cakewalk Home Studio. I believe that was just be fore Cakewalk 9 came out.

I hated having to buy a mixer so I wouldn't need realtime monitoring. But I did it, because I needed it.

Till recently, I started messing around with PT7.4 on my old Mac. I've owned it for years, but never really did anything with it. I also got PT10 with my 11 rack...

I assumed the input monitoring thing would have been fixed. PT is the only software DAW I know of that does not allow you to turn it off. Like others here, I've worked my way up to a digital mixer coming into my DAW... it handles all the compression & reverb before it gets to the computer, then is sent out to the users.

Input monitoring isn't something I've had to worry about for years, but if I decide to continue using Pro Tools, it will be. I don't have an ultra fast computer, & I'm not looking to get one. So far, input monitoring has turned PT10 into a GUI for my Eleven Rack, which I SPDIF into another interface.

I really did not want to resurrect this thread, but figure the attached image will illustrate what users are asking for - a way to turn off input monitoring (or turn it on if you choose to monitor thru software).

The 1st image is from global options in Studio One 2.5.
If unchecked, record enabled tracks will not monitor inputs from your audio interface.
The 2nd image is from Reason 6.5 and also shows how users can change global monitor settings.

OMG reason has it and PT doesn't

That's a bag of goods

How funny. After all this time people who paid too much for something and got used to a backwards workflow continue to rant like spoiled little rich kids.

How wonderful for you that you're able to throw away your mommies money on needless hardware.

I dropped $700 bucks on 9 and a few hundo more on Massey plugs. Had I known what a waste I'd of stayed away and been happy with logic. Your silly remarks are what I have to endure for believing protools was worth a look.

Fact is the main reason we non-believers (quite a big crowd btw AVID) are hanging around is we hope the greedy folk who got a hold of the wheel wake up before they crash this thing into the ground. That way we might be able to do something with the G+ we burned on half... Software.
