IDEASCALE VOTE REQUEST: Software Input Monitoring Off

[geelo]

Vote here, and please read my message below: http://protools.ideascale.com/a/dtd/...OFF/27200-3779

*********************************

Dear Pro Tools Users,

As many of you know, Pro Tools 10 is STILL missing the ability to globally turn off software input monitoring. This is an incredible frustration for those of us that run multiple outputs of Pro Tools in to a console and setup cue mixes through the console's aux sends. We have to jump through all sorts of hoops when doing overdubs and punches so we can hear previously recorded regions on a track - but not hear the input during the punch through the software.

Pro Tools simply needs to gain this basic feature that all other DAWs have, which is to turn off software input monitoring. (Not just on outputs 1 & 2 as was recently implemented in PT10. This does not help users who utilize multiple outputs in to a console).

There are several threads that address this issue, and there is nearly 100% consensus among users:

But I started this thread as a specific plea to raise attention of the very active Ideascale request that has over 300 votes and over 100 comments. The thread is located here: http://protools.ideascale.com/a/dtd/...OFF/27200-3779

You may notice that a moderator erroneously marked the feature as "completed" - but then moved it back to "active" after they were corrected. This may be further proof that the Avid staff simply doesn't fully understand this concept, as basic as it is.

I respectfully urge all Pro Tools users to please go vote on this request so we may increase the awareness of the Avid engineers and developers - that this is a basic feature that needs to be part of a future Pro Tools 10 update.

Even if you don't need the request for your workflow - voting on the idea would be a huge favor to us that do.

Sincerely,
