Before you can use any audio application with REAPER via ReaRoute, you need to ensure that the audio settings for that application are set up correctly. There are usually one or two basic steps involved. The first is to enable ReaRoute ASIO as the preferred driver, the second is to enable the various input and output channels required to transmit audio between the application and REAPER. With some applications, this second step is not required. The method will vary with the application, but always involve specifying your preferences on the Audio Settings dialog box (or similar). The table below gives some examples. They are accurate at the time this is being written, but be aware that all software programs are likely to change over time. Note that before setting up or using any application for use with ReaRoute, you should 1) make sure that the ReaRoute ASIO Driver has been installed (see previous page), and 2) make sure that REAPER is open and minimised.
