Question

For recording tracks, I use software monitoring. Often, the monitored sound is not loud enough, so I put the track's fader up before recording and put it down after recording.

Is there a better way to increase the monitor volume during recording without manipulating the track's fader?

Answer 1

Studio One 5 now has a feature called “Enable listen bus”.  Right click a fader like main bus and click this feature, it will open a listening bus right next to it which you can then boost or lower volume for whatever track/fader you want without affecting overall mix volume. I think this is new to version 5.
