The upper chooser pair (Audio/MIDI From) selects the track's input. Audio tracks

audio outputs, except for MIDI tracks without instruments. Remember that instruments
convert MIDI to audio.
Within a chooser pair, the upper chooser selects the signal category (Ext., for instance,
for external connections via an audio or MIDI interface), and is called the Input/Output Type
chooser. If this signal type offers sub-selections or channels, they are available from the
lower chooser, or the Input/Output Channel chooser. In our Ext. example, these would
be the individual audio/MIDI inputs and outputs.

Monitoring then means that the signal from your live guitar playing actually reaches the
