multiple rewire channels in Drum Rack?

Post by dvate » Sat Dec 20, 2008 6:30 pm

Am I completely blind! Can't seem to find a way to route multiple channels via rewire from 1 instance of drum rack in to Logic? I assumed there would be a drop down menu listing the buses in each track when you expand the drum rack mixer in clip view? Any wisdom would be so helpful.

i dont think you can, as drum racks and chains are within live, adn all on one track, you can route internally in teh drum rack, but you cant send pads to different tracks

That's a shame. Would be nice to be able to mix and process sounds in logic and only use a couple drum racks in my Live rewire session. Kinda loose out on the whole point of a drum rack while using live as a rewire slave. Would be kinda silly to use a drum rack for one sound. Guess I could go back to impulse? But I really love those drum racks! Maybe in the next version of Live right.... :wink:

To bad third party plug-ins and instruments are disabled in rewire mode. That way I could create in Live and mix in Logic 8.

haha that would be a cool idea

tell ya what, create in live, take it as far as you can, and then just bounce all the tracks
and load em into logic, its what i do, way easier, cos then your just dealing with audio

You could always record the drum racks to audio tracks and just import that into Logic.

I've never been a big user of rewire - I almost always find it better to export audio and do it that way.

You can build up your song mostly in Live and then export all tracks and bring it into Logic or another DAW, add any tracks you want to using that DAW (for example if you wanted to use something like Sculpture or ES2 or whatever in Logic) and then mix it all in Logic. I've done an export all and brought all my Live audio tracks into Cubase and added stuff and mixed it together in Cubase very successfully.


You could set up group tracks easily and do whatever you wanted in that mixing environment give or take the odd thing here and there which Logic doesn't feature as an alternative to Live in terms of plugins etc.
