And how fast are we going? The analogy of the drummer works well to explain the concept, a drummer counts the band in to signal the start point, provides timing information through dividing the bars with high hats and snares and sends positional information via crashes and drum rolls. Note: The following tutorials were created using the Macintosh Platform, but in most cases the information is not exclusive. Think of ReWire as a series of virtual internal cables that connect computer applications.
In ReWire a 'master' application is referred to as a 'host' application. Logic X integration works slightly differently, due to the fact that it cannot operate as a slave and will be discussed in part two of this tutorial.
Note: The following tutorials presume you have a basic knowledge of Pro Tools and the DAW application you wish to sync. The process for shutting down applications is reversed and you should quit the slave application prior to quitting the master application.
Both the master and slave application must also be running at the same internal application bit-rate. Pro Tools 10 and earlier versions could only be run in bit mode. Rewire requires the setting up of the flow of both audio and MIDI from one application to the other. We will look at the audio side of the process first. The following method will allow the audio from Reason to be combined and input into Pro Tools arriving on a stereo audio track in the mixer.
Select Multichannel Plug-in from the menu and choose Reason Stereo from the instruments drop-down menu. 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.
Having said all that, performance is surprisingly good. There's a way of taking advantage of Rewire technology, using a clever program call Refuse. Refuse was featured in Pro Tools Notes in September last year, and can be found at www. Arleon New member. Can you correlate that with Cubase instead of Pro Tools? I will appreciate that greatly?!! Open Cubase, then open FL. In Cubase in one of your menus u Devices I think. You will see Fl Studio.
Clik it and and you will be able to enable all the channels you will want. Assign the channels in FL to the corresponding channels. Then in Cubase assign the FL inputs to your audio tracks. Profit New member. I need to know how to have both windows open? You don't have to close FL. Just minimize it or maximize Pro Tools.
There is also a small FL rewire window that comes up. Click the fruit. BMCK New member. This is just the information I need!
Much props mayne! MadTiger Natural Philospher. OFF said:. Click to expand MadTiger said:. Good tutorial. Though I'm far to lazy I just split mixer tracks and drag them into Pro Tools Shame on me.
It depends. You do have a midi export function in FL just so you know. There is also the option of using FL as an instrument inside of PT. Just make an instrument track with FL as its instrument and have it play through PT. Very simple fixes. The audio is harder. Wouldn't rendering at full quality from FL be avoiding a crappy conversion from realtime recording to PT or any other software? I didn't mean that.
