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

[Chris Belle]

Speaking of the master track,
since reaper can send anything anywhere and there are advantages
to using a regular track as a return,
maybe,
that we can't just by-pass the master track and use a regular track as 
the master track?
Or are you saying this is something you are already doing to get around 
those routing issues?
I am gonna have to get reaper in to the studio proper to the mackie onyx 
board,
and do some fiddling about with routing on a real interface to learn 
this beast better.
