WOW, thank you. This is a great lesson. Could you provide the .als file if possible?

Also, I only have a compressor w/side chain within Reason, using rewire. Could I use that compressor, or does it have to be a plugin in Reason? Just asking, but I'll try to test it.

yeah you can use the reason sidechain compressor... just route channels 3-4 to the input of the compressor - then route 5-6 to the sidechain - then send back the output... then just route the drums in ableton to your rewire 3-4 and your bass (as in the video) to the 5-6 of reason... and make a channel that listens on the reason output... you probably want to route the output of the compressor to a specific set of outs... like 3-4 or something... leaving the main out clear...

so the answer would be : yeah sure...

Thanks for the ALS file.

Unfortunately, I havent been able to route the "audio to" of the side-chain track to Reason. I guess that Live tracks can't have the "audio to" routed to Reason effects, maybe only Reason devices.

Come on

simply route it to an combinator then...

Hi, yes. I've tried that to. I'm still kinda new at this, could someone try it on their system? I can only route Midi tracks to Reason effects, but not Audio tracks to Reason effects.

Thanks for your help.
