Delay Comp
D Click the Delay Comp button (or display) to activate delay compensation in the Main Mixer.
The total delay of the Main Mixer signal (at the Master Out) is displayed below the display. See the “Delay Com-
pensation” chapter for more information about delay compensation in Reason.
Master Section Header
The Header is always visible at the bottom of the Master Section. It contains the following items:
Automating mixer parameters
Automating mixer parameters works in the same way as for other parameters. Automation is part of the audio track
or Mix channel track. See “Recording parameter automation”.
D A quick way to automate a parameter is to right-click (Win) or [Ctrl]-click (Mac) on the parameter and select
“Edit Automation” from the context menu.
This will create an automation lane (and track if needed) where you can record or draw automation.
• When you select a sequencer track, the “Record Enable Parameter Automation” button is automatically en-
abled, allowing for parameter automation to be recorded. However, when recording automation for Audio
Track channel strip parameters, you may want to disable the regular Record Enable button to avoid recording
audio by mistake.
Working with effects
Insert FX
By definition, insert effects are inserted in the signal chain and process the whole channel signal, as opposed to Send
effects (see “Send FX”) where the effect is shared among all channels and the balance is individually adjustable for
each channel. Typical insert effects are dynamics, distortion, chorus etc., plus mastering effects for the Master Sec-
tion.
