I spent more time on it this evening. Not sure if there’s a better way of doing things but it seems you gotta set each track with the local volume control [via Processing/Sel
(on the track you’re working on)/Local volume knob (on touch screen)] in standard layers mode not “Custom Layer Only” mode. Then when they’re all set hit the “Custom Layer Only” via Setup/Control/Custom Layer (So you have DAW control).
Note: when you turn the local volume knob all the way down, there’s still a signal on Reapers meter. I just adjusted the local volume on the mixer and watched the signal peak in reaper’s track meter and brought local volume up till it hit around -18 in the reaper track I’m working on. Did this for every track. And named each track as I went; Track1 Kick, Track2 Snare, Track3 T1, Track4 T2, etc…
To hear your playback, I found you have to hit the Preamp button located at the top left on the console and adjust the volume knob accordingly to your big fat ear holes.
Here is a link of what I figured out thus far. If anyone has a better way to do it, by all means share.
Vid is a kinda crappy and short winded, but here’s what I have… (you may have to copy and paste the link).
