Which monitoring mode lets you monitor live input on tracks at all times?

• A. Input Only Monitoring
• B. Auto Input
• C. Input with Latency
• D. Dry Monitoring

Answer: (A)

Constant live input monitoring means you hear the incoming signal as soon as it’s captured, regardless of what else is happening in the project. This is exactly what Input Only Monitoring provides: it routes the hardware input directly to your outputs, so you’re always hearing what you’re about to record withoutbeing tied to the track’s playback or any inserts.

Auto Input would switch to listening to the input only when you’ve armed the track for recording, and switch away otherwise, so you wouldn’t have continuous live monitoring all the time. Input with Latency includes the input signal but adds latency compensation, which introduces a delay that makes the signal feel less “live.” Dry Monitoring focuses on bypassing processing, but it doesn’t inherently guarantee uninterrupted live input monitoring in every state the track might be in.
