[RWP] Sidechaining in Reaper 4x

[Patrick Perdue]

Good to know. I guess it's control+shift+I that's broken in 4.x, dealing 
with the master track. If that's the case, how do you change the output 
of the master track from channels 1/2 to any given channel pair with 
Reaper v4.x? This is crucial in my setup, since I need everything to go 
to channels 17/18 for the master track. Yes, I can, and have, done this 
in project defaults, but that's not really the point. I am pretty much 
all audio with Reaper at the moment, but when I get back home in late 
November and have access to my keyboards and other gear, I want to start 
doing more serious work with midi, and I've heard that Reaper v4.x is a 
bit better with that kind of thing. I'll still keep 3.78 around for 
multi-track audio editing, since I am very fast with it.
