i am using ACR2 (IK Multimedia room correction system) and the problem i'm faced with is, when i'm browsing in ableton to find a kick drum for example, the audio is not processed by the my master channel fx. how can i either route the audio, or set it up in a way where the audio is treated by the arc2 correction system software. any help is appreciated.

Thats a good question. I'm not too sure if thats possible to change the master when auditioning files. But I found you can do it through a Drum Rack. Create Drum Rack. Drag a sample onto it. Then use the hot swap to audition samples. Make sure that RAW is enabled. Then any effects on that track or the master are applied to it. Not the same thing, but its a workaround.
