[RWP] a workaround to adjust aux sends

[Gordon Kent]

I found a way to adjust the aux sends on a track if you have set them up in the i/o dialog.  Actually it is easier to set them up on the track that contains the effect that you want to send the other tracks to.  If you have for example four tracks that you want to send to a reverb, insert the reverb on a blank audio track.  Press ctrl i to open the i/o window.  Tab over to the add receives button and add receives to the tracks you want to send to the reverb.  Now, the sends on those four tracks will be defined.  The track with the reverb will have four receives and each will have a volume and pan value.  Unfortunately we can't access those faders at this time and clicking on the values doesn't even open an edit box, a drag.  But what you can do is this.  Close reaper after saving the project.  Open notepad and open the reaper project file with the .rpp extension, you'll need to set the file type in notepad to all and you'll need to know where the project files are stored.  Search for the name of the track containing the effect, you'll probably want to give it a name you'll be able to find easily.  Now you'll need to go down to the olines that say something like auxrecv for the tracks you are sending to the reverb.  You'll see a number 1 (I don't know what that is) and then after that a 1 followed by a whole bunch of zeros after a decimal point.  You'll want to change this to a value that is more reasonable.  I found that a setting of 0.40 sets the send levels for each track to -7.5 db or so.  Of course the setting of this will depend on what plug you are using etc.  Anyway, save the project file in notepad and reopen reaper.  It is a bit cludgy but it does work for now.  I think you could probably edit the file with reaper open and then reopen it but I haven't tried that yet.
Hope this helps.  I hope that the new access will give us better access to the i/o routing.  You do need to use the jaws cursor to see the values.  I certainly haven't gotten anywhere with the object navigation in nvda.
