I am new to Pro-Tools and still going through the learning process. Thanks for all your help. Once reworked, Reason's audio routes back through Pro Tools' mixer so you can record it there if you wish, or combine it with sound originated in Pro Tools itself. I' m just finishing off some more Pro Tools videos for macProVideo which show this process In more detail When I wrote 'reworked' I meant 'rewired' of course - damn this iPad autocorrect!!
Hi there! Great tutorial.. Do you know if this is at all possible, and how? Thanks a lot. As far as i know, ableton is supposed to be able to send AND receive midi data.

For the past few years it's been possible to achieve similar results on the Mac using Pro Tools's Direct Connect to route audio, and OMS to create internal MIDI connections , but Rewire can do more with its 64 channels and its solid sync'ing, is much simpler, and is supported by a wider range of software. There's not much to learn in order to take advantage of Rewire, as the system intelligently configures itself when you launch the two programs.
Your main job is choosing the routing of audio and MIDI. I've been using Pro Tools 6. Hopefully, these basic steps will translate smoothly to other programs. Step 1 : launch Pro Tools. The only rule to remember with Rewire is to load the Master application first, and quit it last. Pro Tools is pretty smart, though, and will warn you if you try to quit while a Rewire client is running.
Step 2 : launch Reason. Reason will detect that Pro Tools is running and load up in such a way as to be immediately ready to run as a client. The Reason Hardware Interface module see screen shot will indicate that Reason is in Rewire slave mode. Step 3 : create Rewire inputs in Pro Tools. Inputs are accessed from RTAS plug-ins inserted in standard audio tracks or aux input tracks. If you have LE, you should definitely use aux input channels, whereas TDM users will need to use record-armed audio tracks.
The screen shot left shows an example. The plug-in is named simply Reason and has a pop-up channel selector to pick from the 64 available connections in Reason I've picked channel 3. Step 4 : connect something in Reason. If Reason is fired up with the default song, you'll have a mixer module with the main stereo outputs connected to Rewire ports 1 and 2 always labelled Mix L and R.
When using Rewire it makes more sense to connect your Reason sound modules directly to the interface module so they are routed directly to individual channels in Pro Tools. The good news is you can and quite simply. Synchronization is not a new concept in the world of audio engineering, used commonly in the past to lock multiple tape machines to increase track count, sound to picture or hardware made by multiple manufacturers. When do we start?
Where are we? 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.
