What is the difference between a multi-track-recorder(*) with

See, I couldn't spot it either...
To rephrase Fons:
Why the hell would my main-output click when I change my tech-headphone
from pfl to afl? Regardless whether "main" is a PA or just the other
guys listening in the studio, this shouldn't happen.
And why should it be technically needed to have this behaviour?
Monitoring should be feed from the channels in parallel to the main
audio-flow, not disrupting the audio-flow.
Have fun,

(*) I know, its an awfull simplification of what ardour is...
In live mixing you often need to meter at
different points in the
signal chain to check levels, as they are constantly changing, often
unpredictably. Nothing ever stays as it was in a sound check.
Agreed. Though all my live mixing experience was with analog devices,
I too was pleased when provided with noiseless-in-pa-free metering
options.
A DAW is not a live mixing console, that's true but for a couple of
years, I've been seeing, from the audience, digital desks looking
closer and closer to DAWs, blurring the frontier.
