Another Rewire Question..., Logic Pro & Reason 2.5 Options

[don says mac]

i don't even know if it's possible, but i want to be able to record loops from reason onto logic... lets say, if i use redrum and plug in a drum pattern, is there a way to record it to logic without exporting it as a midi file?? the same question for using the subtractor & the matrix... so far i've just been able to use rewire by playing all the notes on my keyboard, but sometimes i'd rather use redrum and/or the matrix...

i guess i may as well ask if the same type of recording is possible with ultrabeat?

thanks.

why don't you just export the patter from redrum as an aiff file and the just add it to logic on an audio track.

and if it is a song then just export song as aiff and do the same. no need to record into logic when you can export.

i just thought i could save myself a step or two, that's all...

so... i guess it is not possible???

[editbrain]

i am sure it is possible. i just think that you will have better success and faster times if you export.

Rendering Audio

Most often, there is no need to convert individual ReWire channels to regular audio tracks! The channels already appear in Logic's Mixer, and you can typically perform the same kind of real-time processing as with regular audio channels (effects, EQ, volume, pan and mute automation, etc.).

Still, you may need to convert the ReWire channels to audio tracks, for example if you want to continue working in Logic only. Proceed as follows:

1. Make sure Reason plays back properly via ReWire.

2. Activate solo for the ReWire channel(s) that you wish to bounce down (render) to an audio file.
When you play back you should only hear the ReWire channels, including any effects and/or processing added in Logic Audio. What you hear is exactly what you will get in the resulting file.
• Note that if you have several ReWire channels (i.e. more than a stereo pair) soloed, you will not be able to process these channels individually using the file produced by the Bounce operation.
If you wish to preserve the individual ReWire channels instead of mixing them down, you should perform a bounce separately for each individual ReWire channel.

3. Open the Audio Mixer from the Audio menu, and locate the master fader, i.e. the output object that your ReWire channels are routed to.

4. Click the "Bnce" button in the lower right corner of the master fader.

5. In the Bounce dialog that appears you can set the length of the file (e.g. the start and end positions for the region that will provide the rendered file), the file format and resolution etc.
If you tick the option "Bounce & Add", the rendered file(s) will be added to the audio file list of the Audio window after performing the Bounce operation. See the Logic Audio documentation for more details about the Bounce dialog.

6. When you have set the options in the dialog to your liking, click "Bounce".
Another dialog appears allowing you to name the new file, and to select a folder path in which to store it.

7. Click OK.
The bounce is performed in real time, and all soloed tracks are played back. When the specified end is reached, playback stops automatically.

8. Import the bounced file(s) into Logic and activate playback.
Remember to first deactivate the corresponding ReWire channels.
