Option to Start Live NOT in ReWire Slave Mode
Option to Start Live NOT in ReWire Slave Mode
Hi,
Live 7, OS X.
Is there an option or key modifier that allows me to keep Live from opening in ReWire slave mode? I suspect not, but am wondering if anyone's written an applescript perhaps that disables the ReWire components and launches Live.
I run Pro Tools or Logic as my main workstation apps, but I need to do things in Live sometimes. I realize I can shut these down but that's very time consuming just to do for the 5 or 10 minutes of stuff that I need Live for.
Any tips are appreciated.

not sure, but Logic can only be a rewire master... did you tried to launch them in a different order?
not sure about PT, though.

Why do you need to run Live on it's own?
Re: Option to Start Live NOT in ReWire Slave Mode
Sure, that works fine. I'm trying to avoid having to shut down my work when I have to do something quick in Live. It's a particular pain at the moment as I have a couple of students who are submitting stuff to me in Live and are sending me a couple of updates every day. I have to close out what I'm doing, load Live, check their work, reload Logic or PT. It can eat up time and disrupt a good workflow.SubFunk wrote:not sure, but Logic can only be a rewire master... did you tried to launch them in a different order?
Unfortunately, Live disables all 3rd party plug-ins when operating in ReWire slave mode.Sage wrote:Why do you need to run Live on it's own?
Re: Option to Start Live NOT in ReWire Slave Mode
The following procedure works for me (on OS 10.5.7).
1. Remove the ReWire components manually or with terminal commands:
rm -r /Library/'Application Support'/'Propellerhead Software'
rm -r /Users/username/Library/'Application Support'/'Propellerhead Software'
2. Launch Logic
3. Launch Live
Now Live will NOT run in ReWire mode.
As long as you don't quit Logic, you can quit and relaunch Live. But if you quit Logic, the ReWire components must again be removed (step #1) because they are automatically re-installed from Live.

You can also open Live before Pro Tools or Logic.

Re: Option to Start Live NOT in ReWire Slave Mode
Yes, but I thought if you quit and re-open Live while Logic is running, Live would then start in ReWire slave mode. But I've just checked and to my surprise that doesn't happen. So in conclusion, the removal of ReWire components seems not necessary at all.Jesse wrote:You can also open Live before Pro Tools or Logic.

Thanks folks. This is useful.
Re: Option to Start Live NOT in ReWire Slave Mode
I believe that there is an options.txt entry
ReWireSlaveOff
but you may have to fiddle with the syntax
e.g.
-ReWireSlaveOff
or
-ReWireSlaveOff =1
etc.
