When I earned a living as a touring sound engineer I developed a strong dislike of misconfigured house PA systems that behaved like this. On small venue sound systems where the front-of-house mixer also controls the sends to monitors, a channel mute that fails to also mute the monitors can be an expensive liability. (It may be useful in broadcast applications). OP: have you considered using Ardour? It has highly configurable mute points along with a lot of other fancy features. I currently use Ardour2 (but am seriously considering changing to Non after 8 years of Ardour use due to the large number of ++kitchensinks in Ardour3). John
