Ninjam in Reaper with 2 output channels

Cool Vid Gevi, but I'm against more than 1 channel per NINJAM User, it uses more bandwidth, pushes the servers more and people using Asio4All could have to deal with 14 audio channels or more which will cause the clicks galore.
And as has been seen a lot in the past, is that people with wireless routers or poor ISP Connections will drop out a lot. Also Asio4all or peoples hardware asio's can struggle with more channels causing them to drop out a server from asio problems.

It can be convenient to be able to adjust someone's drums up but put there guitar down but the aim if for all to learn how there audio settings work and deal with them appropriately.
I'm loud a lot because I saved some presets a while back and need to redo them for my DAW.

But if people wanted to setup a similar to what you have done for monitoring purposes, so they can hear a track but others can't until they enabled it, then this can be achieved with 1 extra option on every track they have in REAPER.
This method will be useful for pre sync of drums then fading in, hearing your audio of a track but not sending to NINJAM, and for levelling and extra local volume of your instruments.

This will work with a Normal REAPER + NINJAM setup http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=12578
as well as Gevi's Multi NINJAM Track setup above.

The only difference between Gevi's setup above and the normal ReaNINJAM setup is Gevi's Master Sends are off and channels route though a 3rd channel which then sends to the Master and ReaNINJAM.
In a Normal setup the Master/Parent Send is ticked which sends the track to the Master/Parent and ReaNINJAM.
This Monitor Adaptation will work with both setups.

On ever track created (but not the "to ReaNINJAM" track in Gevi's Setup) click IO, now under Audio Hardware Ouputs, select "Add new hardware output...".
In this field you will see your sound outputs you setup originally in REAPER's Audio setup, select the output for your system, so it might be Front Speakers L/R or similar.
Now you want to change "Post-Fader (Post-Pan)" too "Pre-Fader (Post-FX)", this will grab the audio before it passes through the volume fader on the track. Notice it was (Post-FX), this will grab FX's so you don't only hear a pre-fx'ed sound. If you want to monitor the audio flat, with no FX and a more direct sound then select "Pre-FX" instead, leave the rest at its default.

For Advanced Users Only:
If you want to route to say some headphones on the front of the machines, a lot of built in soundcard's now allow for selection of audio output to these devices only. To use these outputs they need to be selected in the REAPER start and finish range of outputs. Then they will show up on the Hardware Output selection in the IO window of a track.
If your using ASIO4ALL then these outputs may need to be enabled first in the ASIO4ALL Control Panel.
If you can not see but want to still try them then I suggest setting Audio System in REAPER's Device Sound Setup Option too WDM Kernal Streaming, this will show up the extra outputs on you sound card if it has any.
WDM Kernal Streaming has an option for Buffers and Samples, samples would need to be around 512 and buffers from around 2 or you may encounter a delayed audio signal. However too low a setting for your pc sound card may cause crackling and popping, so you may need to increase this when more audio channels are in use.

Ok your all done, close the IO window. If you are not using a 2nd sound output for your monitor and are using the same sound output that ReaNINJAM goes out on (default one) then you may hear a strong sound of your own sources or possibly phased sound at times.

If you bring down the Volume Fader on a Track on the REAPER window that is say your guitar input then you will hear the volume drop and it also will drop on ReaNINJAM, but now you will still hear your instrument, if you are setup for monitoring on another output then you will still hear your instrument on that output, e.g. front headphones, rear speakers etc.

So now you can use the Volume fader on your instrument tracks to control volume to ReaNINJAM whilst still allowing you to hear your instrument locally, and with REAPER FX's if used.

To control the Monitor Output Level you need to return to IO window of each track and use the volume fader in there on the Hardware Output you just setup.

I do like Gevi's setup and its good in a lot of situations but just for some it can cause problems so if people are just wanting to be able to hear instruments but not transmit then this is an alternative method for monitoring.
With Gevi's you could just not XMIT on a track to monitor, but this method with advance use could be used to route to a set of headphones or multiple outputs. Most machines have multiple outputs now with 5.1 and above sound outputs.

Some have 2, to 3 tracks, add least 4 people with more than 1 stereo track, then add how many local tracks you have, you may have drums, guitar and keys, plus a couple for audio stuff. This can push tracks in a Jam to 15+ which a lot of machines with Asio4all and ReaRoute ASIO will struggle.
So don't want it seeming like I'm trying to ruin a good thing ya doing Gevi.

I made a project file for those who just want to load it up and get it to work. (sometimes you have to make the master have 4 outputs depending on your soundcard)
