<DIV><BR></DIV>Here, I've never gotten the buffer settings within Reaper to

external<BR>panel of whatever interface I was using at the time. Am I
missing<BR>something, or do those settings only take effect when there's not
an<BR>external method of setting them. I had hoped they'd be a bit of a
work<BR>around for inaccessible control panels, but seems not from what
