The example below shows how to route the Direct Outs of a number of Audio Track devices to separate outputs of
the Reason Hardware Interface:
Direct routing of individual channel outputs to individual outputs on the Reason Hardware Interface.
! Using the Direct Outs will break the internal P-LAN routing to the Master Section device. This is indicated by
the red dashes (---) in the Audio Output display on the Audio Track/Mix Channel devices.
Creating an input channel for recording with effects
When you record on an audio track, the input signal is routed “dry” to the audio track. Then, when you play back the
recorded audio, the signal goes via the channel strip, with all its settings and any Insert FX etc. However, there might
be situations where you want to record a processed signal to the audio track. For example, if you record an electric
guitar, you might want to record it with distortion effects or similar.
The example below shows a typical setup where a separate Mix Channel device is used for processing the input sig-
nal before it’s routed to the audio track for recording:
1. Begin by creating an Audio Track device and a separate Mix Channel device.
The Mix Channel device is going to be used for housing the effects we’re going to record with.
2. Create the effect(s) you want to use and patch them as Insert FX in the Mix Channel device.
In this example, we use a Scream 4 distortion device and an RV7000 reverb device connected in series.
