Yep. Makes sense to me too. The true nature of REAPER has always been about options.

One of the first things I do with a new REAPER install is set the master to the right but that's just because it makes sense to me coming from my beginnings in analog hardware (and electronics) 35 years ago.

If this was made to follow the preferences for the master, I'd like to be sure the inputs and outputs on each individual block would swap too. In other words, if the master is on the right, ALL inputs on ALL blocks should be on the left and outputs on the right.
