say you're original music is coming from a slave such as reason, fl studio, or acid.
would recording it into live via rewire by merely recording from the slaves playback engine, thus making these recordings worse than actually rendering directly from say .. Fruityloops or Reason?
is ReWire pointless ??

With rewire, it's the audio engine quality of the master that count.BaRaKa Sound wrote:say you're original music is coming from a slave such as reason, fl studio, or acid.

What I'm telling is rewire is about sharing the same audio engine.
Sure the sound will still comes from reason but the master audio output will be the one of live ( for example ) and not the one from reason. This can make big difference.
With live 6 I was rewiring into protools to get advantage of the protools audio engine and the difference was there.
It's not like black and white but there is a difference.

hadn't bothered with it much the last few years since rebirth/cubase days ( looong time ago). Now I'm learning logic at uni - was struggling to get into it when I could do any task that much quicker in live. Was seeming like a real chore to tear myself away from familiarity -especially with the clunky logic timestretching
Just started rewiring live into logic and enjoying things much more - I use live to browse/create loops, then mangle them with clip envelopes and lives own effects,
then route everything through logics mixer and take advantage of the nice reverbs and dynamic effects. Also starting to like logic for its own instruments and the midi editing. & the curved automation! loving that on the arrange page.
I used to dislike the idea of switching between screens as if I'd just confuse myself unnecessarily, but now realize its not the case at all. So easy to just take the best parts of everything and not compromise

Suit #1: I mean, have you got any insight as to why a bright boy like this would jeopardize the lives of millions?
Suit #2: No, sir, he says he does this sort of thing for fun.

Rewire is good but has some fundamental flaws such as 2 apps sucking a lot of CPU juice especially with low latency applied and lots of rewire channels being used simultaneously. (if your just routing the stereo L/R mix or 3-4 seperate audio channels, no sweat but it doesn't take a lot more than this to start really eating into the computer resources). It is also not great on the MIDI side of things, whichever apps I';ve tried (Cubase>Reason, Cubase>Live, Logic 7>Reason, Logic 7>Live, Protools>Fruityloops or whatever), the latency on the returning audio from a MIDI channel with a sound device *say an nnxt channel in reason* can sometimes be a PITA to get right.
Depending on what you need, you can also render loops and import the audio loops into your main sequencer (i.e. Live). Although if this runs to multiple parts on multiple tracks, then that is more of an inconvenience than running Rewire, so long as your computer can handle it.
I usually record the incoming rewire audio into Live audio tracks anyway and then dispense with the rewire slave app.
