Imagine you have a midi track and a seperate audio track that you monitor the audio coming from the midi track.

You just want to record to the midi track but not to the audio track.

EDIT: Another scenario is where you have 2 different audio input sources, and you want to record to one track while you just want to monitor the other input, but not record it.

Currently there is no way to monitor-only audio input during recording other than;

- Press record button
- Right click context menu and select "Monitor only do not record".
- The record button gets into a dim state.

Rather than this workflow, a standby state on the record button is desirable.

In this state Reaper should only-monitor audio for the track, regardless of the playback or recording state ( stopped, playing, recording etc. )

Code:

Rec button state = off
click
Rec button state = standby ( do not record, input monitoring only ) 
click
Rec button state = rec
click
Rec button state = off

Kind Regards,
