Reason/Rewire - Logic 7

I have a Reason playing through Logic playing a 4 bar loop. However, everytime anything in Reason loops back to the 1st bar, there's a little latency. Then everything is fine again until it loops back to the 1st bar. And it's only the 1st beat "sound" iin the first bar that's coming in a couple of ms late? Any idea's?

I spent time researching this too as a long-time user (& fan) of reason for a few years prior to switching to logic & mac. unfortunately, as above, this is a known problem without, currently, a solution. & it's annoying as ****.
You'll also find when you bounce to audio you have to start the left locator a fair bit before the start or the first part of your bounce will skip..... so you cant ever start a project on bar 1......& you end up bouncing silence at the start of every mix.........a real pain.
interestingly, since i've now slowly weened myself completely off reason I've noticed 3 other side effects
1)Logic is more stable without it - I used to get 'core audio overload' messages, albeit only once every 3 or 4 sessions & when projects were getting bigger, which have now (touch wood) gone away.
2)The Logic Environment & mixer are much simpler to comprehend & more friendly without thinking about rewire
3)My mixes are sounding better! -it's hard to describe but all the reason parts seemed to have less 'depth', especially if using a lot of Reason instruments. weird but i was always a bit suspect why i could have so many instruments without taxing the cpu, guess nothings free.
conversely, I'm getting better results for my basses from automat (which is free!) than i was in subtractor, which was my favourite reason synth. & ES2 is awesome. all i really miss from reason now is the ease & speed of redrum to program beats, just looking at the 10million buttons on ultrabeat terrifies me!
sorry.....probably not what you were hoping to hear !

Reason/ReWire--logic vocals out of synch (newbie)

Hi I just set up logic. I have a song I did in reason, it plays fine with logic. However when I record a vocal in logic and play it back, it is out of synch. The vocals start a little before they are supposed to. Any suggestions on what is causing this? Thanks.

Well I record the main song in Reason. I want to have my main song playing in reason, and record vocals. Then when the vocal is done, I want to listen to the vocal and edit whatever I did in Reason, like add/subtract notes if they don't sound good with my singing.
So at this point I'm in the "live rewire" mode, and I've tried it with that low latency button on and off in the transport bar. Same result.
Of course now playing around with Logic, it sounds so good I may just move there completely.

Reason rewire not working with Logic 9.1.8,Help!

I need help on Rewiring Reason 6.5.3 with Logic 9.1.8
I've done everything that's been told how to rewire Reason and Logic (tutorials on youtube / on the Propellerhead website) I had no problem with it before 6.5 / 6.5.1
But after I updated to 6.5.3.I just cant get rewire working. When I click Reason after I open Logic. The Logic library is empty. I do have automap 4 as well. I'm not sure if that's the problem.
I even checked Reason's Option>Sync. Rewire is not able to be selected and the rewire light on the hardware interface is never on.
I've tried uninstall reinstall from 6.5 ,but still not working.....
Can someone help.....This is suppose to be easy.....Thanks!

Help with rewiring Reason into Logic?

IM trying to rewire Reason into logic. When i insert a midi file into a channel and hit play reason will NOT play the midi and make sound.
Is there anything im missing?

All midi needs to be routed through Logic. Don't use the preferences in Reason to get midi to it by 'sidetracking' Logic.
All midi goes into the Master (Logic) and then goes to to the rewire slave.
Make sure you understand the signal path.
"SIDENOTE on Reason's 'BUS' system for internal rewire objects
Bus1: addresses the currently selected device in Reason (i.e., the little keyboard icon in Reason's sequencer is not grayed out)
Bus2-5: Uses Reason midi Bus A-D
Bus6 (and up): starting at the first device and goes till the 16th device in Reason's Rack. So in your Reason rack Bus6 can access device # (1-16), Bus7 can access device # (17-32), etc...
Bus6 is sometimes the most useful, but realize that you can run out of devices and then you need to go to Bus7 to access more devices in your Reason rack. "
That tells you everything you need to know. If you understand how the Environment in Logic works, you shouldn't have any issues setting up Reason as a Rewire Slave.

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.

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?

Reason Rewire Timing??

I'm having trouble synching Reason to logic accuratly. I had the same problem dumping audio into logic from my MPC but was able to fix that through adjusting the midi output delay. How do I accurately sync a rewire application?

I've had a slightly different but perhaps related problem with Reason in both Logic and Digital Performer. In my case using the Redrum drum machine in Reason and the pattern sequencer in Reason, when you start playback it will make kind of a cut-off squelch kick drum sound on beat 1, then complete silence for about 2 and a half beats, then the sound of the beat will kick in mid-measure.
I haven't done a lot of testing about when and where this happens in the sequence; I work around it by programming 2 measures of silence (pattern D-8 perhaps) into the Redrum before the start of the song and starting the playback from that. It seems like even doing that if you start playback at measure 1 beat 1 it will make that kick drum squelch on the first beat.
Sorry my comments are so vague as to be of little concrete help but I just wanted to point out that I've also had issues on starting up playback of drum beats in Reason when using it in ReWire mode.

I have a ton of instruments rewired from reason to logic. I like to play what I've done live then make edits, but when I do it starts to slow down and chug along and then logic gives me random midi errors.
From my searches of the forums, there's no way around this problem because only one core can handle the workload if somebody knows otherwise, please help.

found the answer on a post below. silly me

Reason rewire question

I have an instrument from Reason rewired into Logic and it works fine. But when I select a new track in Logic (eg piano), my instrument from Reason plays in addition to the piano.
I've had this happen in the past but can't remember what to do! Is it something to do with 'release key'??
THANKS

Problem sorted. I had the instrument track still selected in Reason.

Reason rewire audio problems

Hi,
I've followed all the instructions posted within this forum and in the manuals but I still cannot get Reason audio in Logic.
Midi rewires fine between Logic and Reason, i.e. playing a rewire track in Logic does trigger the Reason rack - audio comes up on the mixer but not on the rewire interface (the item at the top of the rack).
Logic and Abelton rewire fine together, i.e. I can get Live audio within Logic but not Reason for some reason. Also, Live and Reason both work correctly in rewire too.
What might I have missed? I am at a complete loss, I've reinstalled both programs and not had any problems with my other software.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your post.
I'm trying to play audio out of Reason into Logic. As I said, the midi communicates fine between the two programs I just cannot get the audio to play through my rewire channels in Logic.
For instance, I add a channel mixer then a dr-rex. I want the audio out of the dr-rex player to play in Logic through the rewire L and R channels.
I know I've got the rack set-up correctly in Reason as it works when rewired to Live. Also I must have the rewire setup correctly in Logic, becaue when using Live as the slave I can get the audio from it in Logic.
As I've followed all the instructions to the tee I'm pretty sure there is a setting somewhere that is causing problems.

How to mix reason through logic, then stereo back to reason mastering?

Is it possible to mix a track from reason through logics mixer (yes I know how to do this ok) but then send the master from logic back to reason so that I can master it in reasons mastering kit - I really prefer their mastering setup for some types of music the sound is just what I want (not for others) especially dance - but I can't find a way to do this? Do I have to print the logic mix into a sample and load it into a new reasons project? I'd rather hear the mix with mastering applied as well if possible.

Yeah i feel you, the sound is very characteristic and well-suited for electronic productions, I agree. Although technically, it doesn't compare to what you can achieve with Waves or even standard Logic mastering plugins, the sound can be very nice.
At the same time, Reason wouldn't be Reason anymore if it had audio input support That's what Logic is for

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.
