one more thing if you don't mind what do you do when you run out of those 8 sends?
I never did, but perhaps I'd use Parallel Out that each track has and route all of them to silenced 14:2 Mixer that can have 4 sends? You wouldn't have access to them from the SSL Mixer, though.
This will most likely sound different from using sends. The parallel out is "pre everything" in the channel. Sends are typically "post everything". This means that with sends, any dynamics, EQ, filtering, inserts, and even the fader position will affect the send signal.
For Reason users to add more sends there would need to be one simple change: direct outputs on each channel would need to NOT mute the main signal when used. As it is, connecting direct outputs mutes the main signal, which is not useful. The "real" SSL mixer uses a button to turn the Direct Outs on/off, and I wish this was the way Reason worked!
The only alternative is to add pre-fader sends (not as useful as post fader sends), and even then the only way to do it is to tap the inserts - and this only works if the inserts are in the last position (after dynamics and filter/EQ).
