Control panel
If you have selected an ASIO or Core Audio driver, this button brings up a control panel window specifically for that
audio hardware. This may contain buffer settings, routing options, synchronization alternatives etc.
Monitoring
In the Monitoring section you can choose how you want monitoring of the input signals to work on audio tracks.
D Select “Automatic” to automatically monitor the input signals on all record enabled audio tracks when record-
ing and when the sequencer is stopped.
Record enabling of audio tracks is done by clicking the Record Enable button on the track in the track list - see
“Record enabling”.
! Note that if you have selected “Standard” in the “Master Keyboard Input” section on the “Keyboards and Con-
trol Surfaces” page in Preferences (see “The Master Keyboard Input setting”), selecting an audio track also
automatically record enables it - and consequently enables monitoring in “Automatic” mode.
D Select “Manual” to manually activate monitoring by clicking the Monitor button on the track in the track list.
D Select “External” if you are monitoring directly through your audio interface outputs (and not via the Reason
application) - or via an external mixer.
In “External” mode it’s not possible to monitor in Reason.
Play in background
When this is activated, Reason will not “release its grip” on the audio hardware when another application is active.
• The advantage is that Reason will keep playing while you work in the other application.
• The disadvantage is that other audio applications may not be able to play any audio, depending on the type of
driver used.
