Recording MIDI Controllers and hear what effect they're having at the same time...

Hello,
I have a simple midi track connected to ZynAddSubFX and I want to be able to record one of the MID I controllers as I move it about in a jolly creative way.

If I press record button on the track and then the record button at the top then play, then move the controller around (under the track), or move my connected MIDI controller knob - nothing gets recorded. If I select ‘In’ instead of ‘Disk’ on the track then it does record, but I can’t hear anything. I don’t suppose there is a way of having In and Disk both selected?

Any ideas?

Cue monitoring (listening to both disk and input) will be available in Ardour 6.0. It is not available in 5.x

How do you know that nothing is recorded? CC data will not appear in the main track - you would need to make the relevant automation track visible before you can see it.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the reply, I look forward to Ardour 6.0 then!

I know nothing is recorded because, yes, I have the automation track visible. And it records it in ‘In’ mode.
