How to make 2 diff. rewire Slaves have 2 diff. tempos?

Post by Heat Death » Thu Oct 06, 2016 12:45 am

Hi,

Ableton is rewire host / rewire master.

I can rewire 2 different DAWs as rewire Slaves, into Ableton.

How can l make those 2 rewire Slaves have tempos independent of each other and independent of Ableton? And how can l make their "play" buttons independent of each other and independent of Ableton?

I just want Ableton, as rewire host, to shut up and record the DAW outputs, nothing else. I am having this problem in every DAW l use as rewire host.
*** Happy using Ableton Live 8.2 for now ***

Da hand

Well one of the main goals for the existence of Rewire was to have the Rewired programs play back in sync, so I am not sure if there is a way to undo it in Rewire itself.

But particularly in Live, the only think I can think of that might work is using the Options.txt file to turn Live off as a Rewire Master and then using an audio routing program like Soundflower (MAC OSX), Jack (WIN), etc... to do what you want. Basically bypassing Rewire altogether.

Here is the article and how to turn Live off as a Rewire Master:
