How I ReWire Logic with Reason 3

Getting Logic Express 7 and Reason 3 ReWired and working well together took me a few days. Thanks to some very helpful posts here (mostly by users "clangwork" and "mlehmann") and a few other sources I have everything working well. Mostly so I can remember, I wrote down the steps. Hope it helps someone!
ReWire Logic Express 7 with Reason 3
1. Start Logic
2. Start Reason
3. Reason: create a mixer, Subtractor, and NN-XT (any device is fine, these are for example) and select some patches.
4. Reason: DELETE the tracks for the devices you made in the sequencer, but KEEP the devices when asked. IMPORTANT!
5. Logic: open Environment window, set it on MIDI Instr. (on left), and click New -> Internal -> Rewire. Do it for as many devices as you have in Reason. In this example I have two (for Subtractor and NN-XT). Click on a Rewire object and set Device (on left) to Reason and Channel to SubTractor. Click on the other and set Device to Reason and Channel to NN-XT. Bus should be 6 for both. Close the Environment window.
6. Logic: Click on any track icon and hold the button down. In the pop up menu, select MIDI Instr. and then the first ReWire listed. It should show up on the left as SubTractor 1. Click another track and do the same for the other Reason device.
7. Logic: Select an Audio track and set the Channel to ReWire -> RW:Mix L. Pan the track all the way to the left. Select another Audio track and set it to ReWire -> RW:Mix R and pan to the right.
8. Logic: I have no idea why, but for any Reason devices to play I need to set up a Logic instrument (any, such as ES1, etc.) and load a patch. Play one note, then select one of the yellow ReWire tracks and you should hear your Reason device!
9. Logic: Record to the ReWire tracks like any other MIDI instrument!
NOTES:
You can add effects to the Reason rack and don't need to change anything in Logic.
Set levels, pans, etc. in Reason.
You can delete a device and replace it with something else in Reason and don't need to change anything in Logic. Reselect the channel for the ReWire track to update the name.

Logic with Reason rewire lagging during recording...

Hey everyone,
I've been working with Logic 8 rewired with reason 4, and have been having issues with logic whilst trying to record MIDI data through my controller. It will pick up uncomplicated, exactly on the beat things fine, but anything more complex that gets absolutely mangled on playback. I don't think it's the computer because I'm working off a brand new iMac in my school's music lab. Is there anything I can do?
The program really doesn't seem to be lagging "per se" because nothing actually slows down during input; it just seems like it's not catching the notes properly. The stuff I end up with after recording is absolute trash, no semblance of what I was playing whatsoever, and quite unusable. I'll send you a fruitbasket if you can help me.

This applies to Live users on intel as well.

The ReWire 1.7 update brings dramatically improved sample loading times and compatibility with Intel Macs. If you use a PC, this update is for you. If you use a mac, you only need this update if you are not using Reason. For instance, if you use ReWire to hook up Ableton Live and Logic on an Intel Mac you should download this update.
Note: If you are using Reason 3.0.5, you do not need this update at all.

How to rewire ableton with main stage

Need to rewire ableton with mainstage with mainstage as the master.
help

Hi
Start Mainstage first, then Live (Mainstage can only be Rewire Master).
Depending on you needs, you will want an audio return from Live.
Create a Stereo Aux channel at Patch/Set/Concert level, set it's Input to "Ableton Live:Mix L/R.
Now, when you press Play in MainStage, Live will play and any audio will appear at the Aux you have just created.
That should get you started?

!!!Problems Using Logic With Reason in Rewire Mode!!!

Hi, Maybe someone can help me...
I can´t Hear any sound coming out of Reason into logic!
This is what i did:
1- loaded logic
2- loaded reason (used the Redrum, L+R and connected to the 1 and 2 Audio OUT of reason)
3- selected a audio track in Logic Pro (audio Track 1)
4- Went to the Audio parameters window, and selected from the drop down list
Rewire>RW:Mix L
5- pressed play... and nothing!! no sound
i used reason in ableton live 5, and works fine,.. so i know it is not a reason problem
Hope someone can help me
Tks:)

Use method 2 to help you set up Reason and Logic.
Also you might want to upgrade from Reason 3.0 to 3.0.4.
good luck.

Logic with Reason or Live?

Hello all and Happy Holidays.
I'm looking to add some more flexibility to Logic. Right now I am trying to decide between adding "Reason" or "Live" to my software arsenal but I'm unsure which is the better choice. For the short term it has to be one or the other. Any thoughts? Pros and cons regarding either?
Any input would be great.

Reason and Live are both great programs.
Reason is good for a 'general' tool to add to your toolbox. The strings and piano sounds good, the combinator adds a lot of interesting possiblities. But the sequencer is lackluster at best. I never use it as a stand alone program. It's always rewired to Logic, or Live. Another slighlty negative point is Rewire. It's just not as simple as an AU plug-in. It's not complicated, but it's not as simple as using an AU plug-in. I've since replaced all the 'parts' that I commonly using in Reason, by better AU 'version' (e.g., Reaktor for synth/beats. Stylus for beats). Also, it's good to point out that Logic has a nice of AU to begin with. If there's a particular AU Logic plug (e.g., Ultrabeat) that doesn't quite do it for you, then maybe consider looking into a more focused plug-in to meet your needs.
Live is a completely different entity. It's an outstanding sketch pad and composing tool. Absolutely brilliant. It's great for layer parts, trying new arrangements, or recording loops (clips) and then triggering them in a particular order via midi. It's a very interactive compositional tool. The problem is there isn't an easy way to use Logic's plug-ins from Live. Live as a Rewire slave to Logic is very restricting. So when you're composing in Live and you want to use Sculpture, or UltraBeat, you can't (very easily). Also, Live is great for triggering loops/clip live. It's GUI is setup really well.
Also, neither Live, or Reason (as stand alone) allow time signature changes. This is a huge negative point for both of them, especially Live.

How to rewire logic to protools 10hdx

is there anybody who knows how to do this?

ivanleyva02 wrote:
the thing is, i can do it on my macbook using the internal in and out but i can't do it with the hdx, so it has to be a way to make it possible
Can you 'see' the Logic instruments in PTs, send them MIDI from PT, and sync the transports? Routing just audio is 1/4 of rewire.
Not owning hdx, I can't say as to specifics on that, but if all you want is audio I've used soundflower to route that between the two, just to see if it would work. I've only had limited, unreliable success with MIDI & transport syncing, but didn't really pursue it beyond basic IAC routing.

Rewire latency with reason

Hi....
i am trying to play the reason instruments trhu my Logic pro 7 but after i setup everything,rewire chanel and rewire audio output i confirm that reason has and hard latency....its imposible to play....i change the bufer in logic but,nothing hapen...the problem its in reason....someone can helpme?

Turn the "rewire behavior" to "Live mode"

Rewire: Logic + Live then Logic + Reason = No Sound

Hey,
Can anyone explain to me, why if I open up Ableton Live 5.2 to work on something it then has an effect on my ability to rewire Logic and Reason together.
For example, I wanted to timestrech a track, so I opened it in Ableton, did the work and rendered the finished vocal as a wav file. I then closed Ableton and opened Logic, then reason to put them into rewire mode (reported as being in rewire mode in reason).
The problem is I only get sound from Logic, no sound comes through from Reason.
The only way I can tell to fix this problem is to delete all the rewire files in the library folders.
Can anyone help me out with this annoying and ongoing problem??

This is an annoying one, we know...
It definitely sounds like your Logic environment is not set up correctly to get the audio from Reason.
Please verify your settings here:
http://www.propellerheads.se/
clicking on ReWire (it's in the left side bar).
Is there a specific reason why you want that "finished vocal" run through Reason?
Since you saved said file as .wav, why not use "Audio Import" in Logic and put it in your Logic song arrange window?

Garageband2 with reason 2.5 software

I am ready to upgrade to either an iBook 14" or powerbook 15" - would definitely like the iBook since it is about $600 cheaper.
anyway, i have been using reason 2.5 to do all my tracks and read somewhere that you can transfer the final mix to garageband2 and then lay the vocals over it.
has anyone done this and does the final mix with vocals sound great?
thanks.

Reason has some processors that are good for running vocals or final mix through. I'd like to record something in garageband, and send it to Reason for some after effects.
Also, Reason has some great keyboard/synth samplers. What's the easiest way to run my midi keyboard into reason to get a certain voice, then to garageband? You said that GB supports Rewire. Does rewire come with Reason, and is this the easiest way to accomplish what I described above, using Reason and GB?
Thanks for all your help,
Jon

Logic rewired with Reason midi controller issue.

I use Logic 7.2.3 rewired with Reason and for some "reason" I can't get Reason to recognize my controller which is connected via MIDI to the Digi 003. Any ideas?

Interesting question.. Usually, variation in velocity is a desirable thing, to be able to play an instrument expressively. However, if you want to make your notes all equal velocity, an easy way to do this is with the inspector. Make sure that no regions are selected in the arrange window (so that the inspector says 'midi through'). Then adjust the 'dynamics' setting to 'off' (or whatever the actual terminology is), from that point on, anything you play on any instrument will have the velocity ignored. You can also set this kind of thing up for individual instruments, using the instrument parameter box just below the inspector.

How to rewire reason to logic?

I have reason 4 and logic 8, I watched the 101 tutorials but no explanation on how to rewire. Can someone please explain to me how to rewire reason to logic?

Try this awesome video tutorial:

Using Logic Pro with Reason 3.0

I am trying to use logic Pro with reason 3.0. I want to be able to sync them together to use redrum within reason as my drum machine. I am using a MOTU 828 mk II audio interface with 8 in's and 8 out's.
When I start logic first and the reason I am not hearing any sound from reason. I can see the meters move in the mixer of reason but I hear nothing.
From the standard documentation that comes with Logic all I can figure out is that rewire is there to sync any other rewire program so that can run side by side of one sequences transport controls.
I want to be able to hear audio from both my arrangement in Logic and in Reason at the same time in the same song in sync.
Can someone please tell me firstly if this is possible and if so how can I implement this kind of setup.
Thanks in Advance.

Common problem. LP doesn't rewire 'out of the box'.
There are two ways to do this (well, more, but I'll tell you 2)
1 (Easy Way):
Restart Mac (Just to be sure things are sorted, not everytime)
Launch Logic
Launch Reason
Arrange Window
Choose a Channel> Pan Left
Go to the Middle section of the Parameters on the Left
With the Channel pop up menu, select Rewire> RWMix L
Repeat for the Right and away you go.
2 (More Advanced)
Environment Window
In the Middle section of the parameters on the Left select Create
Name it Rewire
Under that windows "New" pull down (Top Left), pull down to Audio Object
In the "Channel" pop up (Left, bottom section) select>Rewire (Left, right, 3,4... What ever you want.
Double Click the Audio Object to expand it
Pan Left or right, or whatever you need.
Rename if you wish
Do the same for the other stereo sideNow's the fun part. Assign these stereo pairs to a bus (above the fader, the default is "Out 1-2")
Go to the Mixer window
Double click the Bus you assigned, this puts it in the arrange window
Arrange window
Name the Bus "Rewire" or "ReDrum" or something great like that.
Now you can use it like a stereo pair (which I wish Logic had) for automation and effects and such.

Reason 5 Rewire Logic Pro X

Hi, I have a Reason 5. How can I rewire in Logic Pro X?

Barry,
Open Logic, Go to Preferences, go to audio and set the ReWire Behavior Live or playback mode depending on what you are doing with Reason if you are playing live or just receiving the MIDI playback from Reason. Click apply changes and close preferences. I had to close and relaunch Logic for the change to take effect though this might not be the case for you.
After you have set that up in preferences and applied the changes Launch Reason and check the Hardware Interface in the master section to see if the ReWire indicator has turned green.
Additional instructions for rewire to Logic can be found on the Propellerheads web site at http://www.propellerheads.se/substance/rewirehelp/?fuseaction=get_article&articl e=logic8_0
Just realised that your are on Reason 5.. Might not work as that is 32bit application. Reason 6 & 7 supports 64 bit as is Logic Pro X.....Those versions should work.

Rewire logic pro 9.1.7 to reason 6.5 doesn't auto sync when i open reason after logic?

after i launch logic pro and add an external midi, i open reason but it is not syncing and giving me the option to rewire ? on hardware interface in reason , the green tab reads saffire which is my interface, and here it should be saying rewire to logic , or similar. why wont logic sync my rewire with reason ?

Probably one is in 32-bit mode & the other 64-bit. Locate the programs in Finder and "get info" - there should be a tickbox that says "Open in 32 bit mode" or something. Make 'em match.

Open Hub: How-to doc "How to Extract data with Open Hub to a Logical File"

Hi all,
We are using open hub to download transaction files from infocubes to application server, and would like to have filename which is dynamic based period and year, i.e. period and year of the transaction data to be downloaded.
I understand we could use logical file for this purpose. However we are not sure how to have the period and year to be dynamically derived in filename.
I have read in sdn a number of posted messages on a similar topic and many have suggested a 'How-to' paper titled "How to Extract data with Open Hub to a Logical Filename". However i could not seem to be able to get document from the link given.
Just wonder if anyone has the correct or latest link to the document, or would appreciate if you could share the document with all in sdn if you have a copy.
Many thanks and best regards,
Victoria

Hi,
After creating open hub press F1 in Application server file name text box from the help window there u Click on Maintain 'Client independent file names and file paths' then u will be taken to the Implementation guide screen > click on Cross client maintanance of file name > create a logical file path by clicking on new entiries > after creating logical file path now go to Logical file name definition there give your Logical file , name , physical file (ur file name followed by month or year what ever is applicable (press f1 for more info)) , data format (ASC) , application area (BW) and logical path (choose from F4 selection which u have created first), now goto Assignment of physical path to logical path > give syntax group >physical path is the path u gave at logical file name definition.
however we have created a logical path file name to identify the file by sys date but ur requirement seems to be of dynamic date of tranaction data...may u can achieve this by creating a variable. U can see the help from F1 that would be of much help to u. All the above steps i have explained will help u create a dynamic logical file.
hope this helps u to some extent.
Regards
