ADSR has 5 hours of tutorials on the new Alchemy.
https://www.adsrcourses.com
Might be a good time to jump on the $0.99 first month subscription deal.

Yeah, looking at it again it looks like they may have stopped development on it.
I beta tested it years ago and found it to be pretty powerful. You could bypass using ReWire altogether and get some complex routings going on between Live and Logic with a combination of WTA for audio and Max for MIDI.

Is there any way to load alchemy as a plug-in in ableton after having patched your logic pro x?

Logic’s filter is lacking and dated. I hope some Camel magic gets thrown in there as well.

it does (did?) look pretty cool... i'm not sure if i could justify the price, but maybe.stringtapper wrote:Yeah, looking at it again it looks like they may have stopped development on it.

Can you confirm that Soundflower works well on recent versions of Mac OS (10.9 or 10.10)?LFO8 wrote:For guys on a Mac and wanting to use Logic as a slave to Ableton. Just use Soundflower (free) to get the audio into Ableton and use the IAC Driver (already native to Mac) to route the midi from Ableton to Logic. That way you can use an External Instrument device (from Ableton) to get your Logic instruments into Ableton. Easy peasy.

Cool. Just tried it with success but I'm not sure about the latency.LFO8 wrote:I'm using it on 10.10.5 and it works fine.
What is your audio buffer in Live and the latency setting of external instrument?
PS
With a phase test I got instrument latency about 80ms (@512 samples audio buffer).
So Soundflower itself seems to use some big buffers.

Interesting.LFO8 wrote:I get about 13ms of latency on the External Instrument device, running a session at 44,1Khz and 256 samples buffer settings using an RME Babyface as output.
I've tested again with 256 samples buffer and still get latency on the external instrument much higher than 13ms.
And finally I even noticed that the latency may change if you just close and reopen the Live set.
So unfortunately, it seems not usable for me.

I don't know how Sounflower is working for the rest of you? but it doesn't perform well as an aggregate device, I get crackles at any buffer size. 
I can set it up as an output in MainStage and Audio input in Live and it works fine however.

Every time I use Soundflower on 10.9 I get massive distortion and dropouts. I'm not alone. It was wonderful on OS X 10.6.8.LFO8 wrote:I'm using it on 10.10.5 and it works fine.
