[RWP] Routing Tracks to master track

[Patrick Perdue]

hi:

I want to route channels 1/2 of master track to channels 17/18 of my 
audio interface. This is how I work at the moment. I have done this 
using the ReaAccess control+shift+I key combination, routing for master 
track, and changing the single hardware output from 1/2 > 1/2 to 1/2> 
17/18. I want access to all 18 returns of my audio interface, so 
changing it globally in preferences/audio/devices isn't an option. I've 
never quite figured out how to get to the master track with anything 
that doesn't have an off-screen model, I.E. NVDA, which is what I use 
primarily in Windows, without using the ReaAccess stuff. For example, I 
was doing a project a few months ago wherein I wanted to setup multiple 
hardware outputs on the master track, so that channel 1/2 went to 13/14, 
and channels 3/4 went to 15/16, but without being able to get to the 
master track on-screen, I couldn't add a second hardware output to 
master track. Once there, I'm sure I could have accessed it using the 
ReaAccess master track I/O dialogue.
