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

[Patrick Perdue]

There's no reason you can't do that. I did this for a while before 
ReaAccess had the ability to get to master track parameters in the early 
days, basically just putting all tracks inside a folder and sending it 
to specific audio hardware outputs and not the master track. I haven't 
had the need to do this in a good few years now, though. The master 
track itself can now be automated, which was missing before.
