[Rwp] setting optimal sample rate and depth/rendering etc

[Patrick Perdue]

Yep. It's set in the project, not preferences, and you can set those 
preferences up as part of your default project template to load every time.
I like my Reaper projects to output to channels 17/18 of my audio 
interface, which is a two-track return not associated with any of the 16 
channels of the board, and there is no global override for where to send 
channels 1/2 of the master track. So, I did something similar to make 
that happen, so I don't have to change that for every new project. A 
little annoying when I use a smaller audio interface, but I can live.
