Things that, in my opinion should stand out and be very obvious are actually either so tiny or, just blend in so much they are often overlooked. I'm slowly finding my way around but, many things could be made more obvious for my taste.

johndefiore wroteQuick question: In SONAR I used to put a reference track of a similar type of music on a track and route its output directly to the audio interface stereo outputs.

That way I could A/B my mix with the reference track by soloing or muting the reference track, and I would bypass the mastering plugs on the main bus since the reference track was obviously already mastered.

In S1 I can't seem to route a track past the master bus directly to the audio interface. I can create a pre-master bus that has the mastering plugs on it and route the reference track around it to main, but is there a better way to do it?

Sorry if this has been discussed or is obvious, it's sometimes hard as a new user to dig through so many posts and so much documentation.
