Reply To: QU and Reaper Matrix output question

[Jason]

Thanks Dhak, I’ve read the second link but not the first. When my brain is working again I’ll try to fully digest it. I had about 7 hours straight working with the Qu/reaper/Mac for the first time today and my brain is fried.

I misspoke in my op, I AM using Reaper.

I’m not sure I understand fully the parent boxes.
For recording, I’ve only done ITB mixing in the past. Using the Qu as a control surface is where I don’t understand how to properly use this setup. I’ve learned how to get individual signals say tracks 1-5 into Reapers channels 1-5 but I’m not sure how to mix from that point w the Qu. Also, I’m not sure how to return that signal from Reaper to the Qu then to my monitors (plugged into Main L/R) I see where some people return Reaper (etc) into ST3 but in the Reaper Matrix I see no ST3 or main L/R outputs.

I’ll keep reading and learning, thank you for the help. Much appreciated.
