How to ReWire Reason with Ableton Live, and why?
January 27, 2009
Ableton Live is a professional loop-based software music sequencer for Mac OS and Windows by Ableton. The latest major release of Live is Version 7.
Unlike other software sequencers, Live is designed around the notion of being as much an instrument for live performances as a tool for composing and arranging. It is also often used for precision mixing of tracks by DJs.
If you have never used Ableton before, it can dratically change your music creation technique nevermind your outlook!.
Using Ableton Live, you can integrate audio recording, loops and samples with your Reason projects. This is done by ReWiring Reason with Live.
This gives you acces to some of the best control AND the best sounds!
- Install Live on your computer.
- Launch Live so that it can install its ReWire engine in your system.
- Go to Live’s In/Out View and select Reason as the “In Type.”
- Enable Live’s Monitoring switch.
- Launch Reason.
- Select the desired ReWire Channels in Live’s In Channel menu if you have devices in Reason routed to channels other than the Mix L & R Channels.
- In a MIDI Track in Live, select Reason as the output type in the in/out chooser.
- In the output channel chooser of the same Track, select the desired Reason device.
- Reason is now in ReWire Slave mode; Live is the ReWire Master.
- Reason will lock to the Live tempo and transport with sample-accurate synchronization. If you change the tempo in Live, Reason will follow.
- You can record the Reason ReWire input in Live as you would with any other input in Live. (Please see the recording section of the Live manual).
- To disconnect the ReWire connection you must always quit Reason first.
