Rewire problem - LIVE 2.0.3 & Cubase-Mac

Rewire problem - LIVE 2.0.3 & Cubase-Mac

I just installed 2.0.3 and discovered that my rewire items in Cubase read like this:

Ableton Live (Reason) Mix L
Ableton Live (Reason) Mix R
Ableton Live (Reason) Bus 03
Ableton Live (Reason) Bus 04….etc

My REASON items were still at the bottom of the list starting after

Ableton Live (Reason) bus 16

I posted a jpg if anyone is interested in how it actually appears:

The text overlaps the actual button graphics in the cubase Rewire panel too.

So I removed both LIVE and REASON engines from the extensions folder, tossed my Cubase prefs & restarted Cubase. As I expected – nothing in Cubases Rewire panel.

So then I quit Cubase, relaunche LIVE on it’s own which re-established the LIVE engine in the extensions folder. I did NOT put the REASON engine back in yet.
When I launched Cubase & looked at the Rewire panel I saw the same
Ableton Live (Reason) Mix L items in my list.

My rewire extension is 1.4.3 (build70) propellerhead software.

I tried eliminating the rewire extension but when I launched live again I discovered that another rewire extension had been installed somehow.

Thanks in advance for any insight anyone might have.

I guess I will re-install 2.0.1 until I can figure it out.

Hi underdog,

"Reason" inside "Ableton Live (Reason) ..." has directly nothing to do with Reason. But it was needed for some Logic 5.x versions so that they can handle Live. Since Logic 6 this is not longer a problem.

Please check your Live options file. It's called "Options.txt" and is located in under "...Preferences\Ableton\Live 2.0.3\Preferences\".
Delete the line "-ReWireLogic" in this file and save.

Then start Live, let it register the ReWire engine and close it.
Next time you started Cubase it should show the our ReWire channel names with the "Reason".

Btw. do you have problems to rewire Live into Cubase or it's just this "naming" issue?

regards,
Alex
