reason 3 + live 5.03 problem

well, i have wierd problem in reason when rewired to live:

when i have lets say one bar of notes and i copy them n paste - my next bar's first notes have no sound - there's also other problems related to first notes like when i have drawed "loopbox" then move it and first notes will not be moved. when i go to pianoroll then i can see that those notes clearly are inside bar, but it's like they would begin earlier than bar starts but NO!

any thoughts?

problems with the beginning notes in reason are very common, as far as i know. i've had them plenty of times and my friends have also.

i usually see this problem when looping in the global transport - when it comes back around to the '1' - the first note doesn't fire.

unfortunately i think the best suggestion i can offer is to not use the reason sequencer

Using Reason's own sequencer is usually the best course of action. Live does not handle sending midi data to Reason properly yet. There are delays incurred by the rewire connection at Live's end.

Using Live to control Reason is fraught with latency style problems, particularly with PDC [plug in delay] switched on. It should be said that this is not latency as such, but the way that Live incorrectly handles the sending of midi data to rewired devices.

One way to solve any looping issues is to 'render to track' the Reason part and then treat the newly created loop as you would any ordinary audio loop.

Personally, I have never had a problem of first note drops in Reason/Live when using the Reason sequencer. However, I always use the quantise command to ensure the the note start is truly at the start of the loop and not slightly before it.
