Using rewire in pro tools

Discussion cgl I enjoyed reading this post about Rewire. I would like to get audio from reason and or pull over a whole session. Is there a video explaining all of this? I am new to Pro-Tools and still going through the learning process.

Thanks for all your help. Once reworked, Reason's audio routes back through Pro Tools' mixer so you can record it there if you wish, or combine it with sound originated in Pro Tools itself. I' m just finishing off some more Pro Tools videos for macProVideo which show this process In more detail When I wrote 'reworked' I meant 'rewired' of course - damn this iPad autocorrect!! Hi there! Great tutorial.. Do you know if this is at all possible, and how? Thanks a lot.

Press tab in Reason to show the rear of the interfaces. You should now hear the Reason audio passing through Pro Tools and also see the audio in the Instrument tracks VU meters indicating the audio is routed through Pro Tools correctly. Note: Change the Mixer channel's name first as changing the Mixer channel's name also changes the Instrument's name to match. Select Multichannel Plug-in from the menu and choose Ableton Live Stereo from the instruments drop-down menu.

Although Pro Tools and the slave application are connected via ReWire, they are still running independently. This tutorial aims to give you a basic understanding of the concept of using ReWire to synchronize applications in order to whet your appetite.

It was the era of bands such as the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays, whose ecstasy infused a hybrid of rock and acid house, that carried the sentiment of peace, love and unity. In all aspects of our lives, we subconsciously mix and match the best elements to form a new and inspired understanding. Musically, the most interesting periods occur when fusions take place and new genres are born.

So why should this approach end at the studio door? Toll Free Promedia Blog. Learn how to use Reason and Pro Tools together. Application Bit-rate Both the master and slave application must also be running at the same internal application bit-rate. The screen shot above will probably tell you most of what you need to know. Here, I've created a MIDI track, clicked on the output selector, and by some voodoo all the instruments in the Reason song are presented for selection.

The Transport linking and sync are just as clever. As soon as you've made a connection between Pro Tools and Reason, hitting Play in either application will start up both. Sync between the Pro Tools timeline and Reason's sequencer is automatically handled without any messing about with timecode or Beat Clock.

In fact I was amazed to see that even the left and right loop locators will follow each other when moved in either program, and looping can be switched on or off from either side. A quick warning if you're planning to rush out to buy one of the new G5 Macs: if you've got Digidesign PCI cards they may not be compatible — ever. This includes the lower clock-speed G5 models that don't use the newer PCI standard, as they still don't supply the voltage required by the older cards.

Most notable among the incompatible systems is the Digi Two channels can be brought into a stereo track via a multi-mono Rewire plug-in. Switch off the Link button linked rings icon to set the L and R separately. Stereo connections : Rewire audio ports can be mono, or linked as stereo pairs. In Reason, Rewire channels 1 and 2 are linked as stereo, with all other channels designated as mono. The stereo plug-in will only show up the one stereo pair Mix L-R so for other stereo inputs you'll need to use the multi-mono plug-in.

The important point here is that you'll need to unlink the L and R channels of the plug-in using the Link button in the top right of the plug-in window see screen shot below. You can now select the L and R sides of the plug-in separately again from the buttons on the top right and select the two Rewire inputs. Recording Rewire inputs : Unlike many other Rewire master programs, in Pro Tools it's easy to record inputs to disk without having to bounce one track at a time.

Simply create audio tracks, and route the outputs of your Rewired aux input channels to these tracks using Pro Tools's internal busses. With TDM systems, where you have to come in via audio tracks, you'll still need to buss to other tracks.

This is due to the signal path in Pro Tools audio tracks, where audio is recorded pre-inserts. You should also consider pushing up the hardware buffer setting to ease the strain when there are lots of connections.
