Rewire enables you to link together 2 standalone applications such as Ableton Live and Reason and have them run alongside and in sync with each other. Press play on live, Reason starts playing in sync at same tempo etc Particularly useful as reason, as has been widely discussed on here recently,does not support vst or audio input. This means that you can route reasons audio into audio tracks in Ableton and then apply vst effects that Live does support. Hope that makes some sense Peace __ http://soundcloud.com/binaryhavoc/dropbox 23-04-2008 15:30 Sentinel Mr. Grumpy Registration Date: 05-04-2008 Posts: 845 Helpfulness rating:  Ableton live came free with my m-audio midi. I installed it, looked at it, uninstalled it. HaHa. I'm not sure sure about all this rewire stuff meself. I recently tried to rewire reason to FL8 which ok yes let me use the VsT's but it turned Reason into the slave program. I was wondering if you can make Reason the master program in control ? I'm not that keen on FL and I'd much prefer it to be there doing nothing in the background with the voxengo plugin runnin'. __ 23-04-2008 23:42 Binary Havoc Binary Havoc Registration Date: 25-07-2007 Posts: 730 Helpfulness rating:  Not gonna happen Reason doesn't work as a rewire host unfortunately __ http://soundcloud.com/binaryhavoc/dropbox 23-04-2008 23:52 Sentinel Mr. Grumpy Registration Date: 05-04-2008 Posts: 845 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by Binary Havoc Not gonna happen Reason doesn't work as a rewire host unfortunately Figured as much ... It would be nice if they added some new stuff into the next reason though. Like maybe a Spectrum analyzer and some better equalizers amongst other things. More mastering tools. Etc ... Etc ... Blah Blah Blah ... 0ot. __ 24-04-2008 17:00 drumnbass.be forum » Production » Production questions & answers » rewire question
