How do I send my reaosn tracks into live individually

Post by Indigoself » Mon Sep 09, 2002 6:54 pm

Im not sure if this makes sense, but how di send my reason tracks into live individually, so that each track coming out of reason is able to be controlled by lives mixer rather than everyhitng coming out of reason going into just one channel. THat way I could use VST effects on one reason track individually, etc.


Please get back to me, this is a great forum and Live Rocks~~

Hit the Tab key in Reason. This shows you the back of the console and instruments.

Instead of wiring to a mixer, patch the left and right outputs from instruments directly to open channels on the hardware interface -- skip the mixer altogether.

You have 64 channels, or 32 L+R instruments that you can add.

Once you're in Live, choose the pair of channels that you want from the pull-down menu.

After using the mixer in Reason, I've thrown it away when I use it for compositions in Live. It restricts everything through the first and second channels.

Now that I have each instrument on its own channel pair, I can apply effects to individual instruments.

But you don't have to stop there. With a drum machine, for example, you can wire the output from a single drum patch to its own channel pair.

By way of example, I can wire a cymbal hit to its own channel pair (say, channels 3 and 4) and apply any effects I want to just that sound alone, and leave the rest of the drum machine sound on channels 1 and 2 untouched.

In Reason, instead of routing the outputs of your devices into the mixer (this happens automatically when you have a mixer in a Reason setup and add devices), connect the outputs of the devices into individual channels of the hardware interface (The box that's always at the top of a Reason setup). Then, when you Rewire Reason under Ableton, you'll be able to select any of the hardware interface channels individually in any Ableton channel.
