the playback tracks at short latency times. Thus the entire mixer can operate in Low
Latency mode, including the bus and master effects, and can be used for editing input
signals.
Further information on the Hybrid Audio Engine can be found in the chapter "System
settings" > "Global Audio options" > "Monitoring settings".
Economy Track
To save system resources you can set up a track with effects that will not be used for input
monitoring as an Economy Track. Go to "Track > Track properties > Economy track".
If you have selected the ASIO Hybrid Engine as the driver system, you can take individual
tracks from the Low Latency Engine and process the track effects in the playback engine
with the larger VIP buffer size. This way your system's processor will not be overworked.
Economy Tracks are marked with a green dot in the volume display of the corresponding
channel in the mixer as well as in the track editor. The "Volume" button of the track will be
framed in green.
Note: The Hybrid Engine compensates the latency of track effects in economy tracks to
such an extent that the total latency of the mixer for other tracks does not increase.
Overview of monitoring/engine modes
No audio monitoring (peak meter only): Displays the input level, but cannot be heard.
Hardware monitoring: Audio monitoring via the sound card. This is the only monitoring
option for MME drivers. With ASIO, many sound cards can directly process functions such
as mute/solo, volume, and pan. In this way, even large ASIO or VIP buffers achieve low
latency for fewer samples. You cannot, however, apply any effects to the input signal.
Software monitoring/economy engine: Audio monitoring that takes into account the
recording track levels and the playing of software instruments. This monitoring option is
only available when using ASIO drivers. No effects are applied to the input signals, latency
and CPU load remains the same, even in complex projects.
Track FX monitoring: Audio monitoring including the track effects of the recording track.
This monitoring option is only available when using ASIO drivers. This allows you to apply
effects directly to input signals without taking bus or master effects into account.
