Awesome melding of worlds! 
The small option we added to solo the chain inputs has been submitted to the library, so it should be release soon.
Live long and prosper!

It’s an awesome thing to have such inspiring and fun music tools to work with - hence my thanks to you!
That solo chain input idea is a really good one, it takes away nothing from your feature-spoiled masterpiece, and even outside of this Rackwindows context, could be helpful for many things… patch de-bugging, etc.
Happy Friday

What’s the benefit of sending the signal back into MM’s Chain input and out through Main. Wouldn’t going from Monitoring straight to your audio module do the same or does MM add something to the signal here?
If I’ve understood the question correctly, I can’t speak directly on what future updates might provide, but I suspect it is related to metering of the chain inputs.
Sending the signal back into MM allows the master fader and VU meter to be used, and also some other internal master options, like DC blocker, and soft clipping.

They added a mode to Mixmaster such that you can use the direct outs -> console -> chain input as a polyphonic insert path. So you get the same output as you would direct from monitoring, but you the master fader, master level & dim/mono/mute switches

that’s nice but…tape consumes almost 50 percent of cpu in that kind of connection.
I know that @n0jo is conscious of CPU efficiency. We have spoken recently about some possible optimisations to his modules that may or may not work well, further down the line.
Please, don’t overlook what Monitoring brings to the table also
Monitoring is a nice module indeed for those who don’t have dedicated monitoring FX somewhere in their OS behind the curtain (I personally have Pedalboard + Asio link pro for eq correction of both monitors and cans and some crossfeed and even room sim for headphones ;-)). I mean Monitoring is for the different purposes as having other pair of monitors, auratones and etc. of course but still needed to compare with commercial tracks to understand what’s going on. Still figuring out how Peaks translates those squashing transients btw 
Yeah, I use the good ol’ Reference 4/Can Opener 3 combo personally. Monitoring is great as a versatile mix-checker, even with those other monitoring tools available. Also things like “phone” and “aurat” make for pretty cool channel effects, while blending small amounts of “subs” or “slew” can work like a really powerful EQ.
Quick Q: Does anybody know if Audio-8 dithers it’s outputs?

I’ve been putting Tape in it’s own bus so thatI can get it late in the signal chain on the basis that whatever effect recording to tape has is the last thing that happens (but I don’t actually want it on everything). I don’t really know what I’m doing though.
