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. 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. I'm gonna try a couple of other sessions and see how they work out. If not i'll certainly consider re-installing it. Anyone else been dealing with this issue? For anyone that runs into this problem with PT8, make sure to first open Reason on its own, close it, and then open pro tools.

ReWire should work from then onwards. It seems as though installing a new version of pro tools creates some small bug which fixes itself with simply opening Reason on its own once PT8 has been installed. All my sessions seem to be working now. Hope this helps. Renegade Prod. However, the claim that it works fine from then on out I have not found to be true. The only way I can get Reason to Rewire is if I start with Pro Tools not open, open it, start a new session, do the create a track with reason as an insert thing As someone else has noted, once you've opened a session where the rewire doesn't work, you have to quit pro tools and re-launch it before doing the new session, new track with reason insert thing.

I really hope they fix this soon. Could anyone shed any light on this? I am using the latest update of Live The Griff. I posted something like this the day after I got 8 at the DUC. We banged around the same suggestions and ended up with some fixes working for some and other strange things. I don't use the reason app, but I use Melodyne for tuning a lot If anyone has any other ideas for rewire, let us know. It was the Melodyne Essentials for me. I updated the plugin and essentials - PT 8 loaded after the updates!

Gotta say that we did a clean OS and PT install from the ground up and the rewire issue does no longer exists. BTW, we have Melodyne plug-in and Reason.

We had the exact same problem until we turned Airport off, do you by chance have Airport turned on while PT is running?
