ROUTING AUDIO AND CV
392
• When you move a device in the rack, the connections are not affected.
• When you duplicate devices by dragging and dropping, or using copy and paste, the devices are not auto-
routed.
If you would like them to be auto-routed, hold down [Shift] while performing the operation.
! If you are duplicating a complete Device Group (see “Duplicating devices”), this will often include a Mix Chan-
nel. In this case, the Mix Channel will also be duplicated, with no need for further auto-routing.
Bypassing Auto-Routing
D If you wish to create a new device without any auto-routing taking place, press [Shift] when creating the de-
vice.
About re-routing devices in songs created in Reason Version 5
or earlier
If you open a Reason song, created in Reason Version 5 or earlier, the song will open with the outputs of the Mixer
14:2 connected to the inputs of a single Mix Channel device in Reason Version 8. To make better use of the Main
Mixer in Reason Version 8, you will have to re-route all instrument devices in the older Reason song to separate
(new) Mix Channels in Reason Version 8. To make this re-routing a little easier, proceed as follows:
1. Open the older (Version 5 or earlier) Reason song in Reason Version 8.
2. Delete the Mixer 14:2. *
3. Select "Select All" from the Edit menu to select all devices.
4. Select "Auto-route Device" from the Edit menu.
This will create a Mix Channel device for each instrument in the old Reason song, keeping any connected effect
devices in the signal chain.
* If you have send effects connected to the Mixer 14:2, you will need to re-route them manually to the Main Mixer
Master Section device. You might also want to make a note of fader and pan settings on the Mixer 14:2 before de-
leting it.
