Most studios include one or more multichannel audio interfaces with many devices routed to the DAW.
Mixers, Audio Interfaces, ADAT interfaces - all of them have connected devices. Ity is often difficult to remember what ports of these devices are assigned in order for proper input and output to/from the DAW.
REASON as a DAW - includes its own good familiar HARDWARE INTERFACE. 16 audio I/O by default. We still need to remember what instruments or effects are connected to the I/O ports of the audio interface and also how channels of the interface are routed to the Reason Hardware I/O. Some musicians (producers / engineers) physically mark the names of used devices on their hardware rack (with stickers or tape) along with Audio Interface I/O and DAW channel info. This is a nice solution for Gigs and studio work.
Presenting the INFOBAY IN and INFOBAY OUT devices, an interface helper utilities that allows you to similarly place labels to keep track of inputs / outputs in the Reason rack.
REASON I/O: Set the digits of Reason I/O channels (as mono or stereo pairs)
HARDWARE I/O: Set Channel digits of Audio interfaces I/O (multiple interfaces)
FROM/TO DEVICE: Set names of connected instruments / effects to the Reason I/O
DEVICE TYPE ICON: Use instrument and fx icons to identify connected devices at a glance
All info from the Front panel is duplicated on the Rear and Folded panels.
Enter custom info into the 16x4 table about channels of the Reason Hardware I/O as well as ports of multiple Audio Interfaces.
INFOBAY IN/OUT - Rack Extension provides virtual labels for Audio I/O using digits for routing channels, as well as names and icons of the connected devices.
With INFOBAY IN/OUT, there is no longer a need to remember all of the routing info with channel digits and device names.
