Ableton Forum

I'm using Logic pro 7 and reason 3 to make my music. I installed Ableton live on my mac so that I could have a go at mixing my tunes with that. I get that up and running and it's fine. But this is the problem. I noticed that I wanted to tweak a certain element in my ether remix, so I open up both logic and reason. Reason says that it's rewired, but when I hit play, I don't hear any of my sounds out of the instruments in reason (triggered by the midi data in logic).

I look at my channel settings, and it says that Ableton is now set to rewire mode instead of reason (and i don't even have ableton activated when i do this). When I switch everything back to reason, I still don't hear any sounds. The only time when things are back to normal, is when I uninstall ableton live.

any suggestions on how i can take care of this problem? I want to have both programs (reason and ableton) on my machine and just use ableton to mix.


thanks

This is an old bug in Logic, or if it's Ableton - I don't know. It's easy to fix, you don't have to deinstall Live. Simply select the audio object in Logic that hosts ReWire channel and change it from a "Live ReWire object" back to a "Reason ReWire object".

Somehow Live "hi-jacks" the ReWire audio objects in Logic.

There's no real "hijack" of ReWire channels going on. Logic reads the ReWire channels in alphabetical order of the ReWire devices. If Reason was your only ReWire device it's now been bumped to number two, you'll have to change the channels in your arrangement. Slightly annoying, but could be worse.

thanks for the comments.

the thing is, once I change everything, i can see that reason is activated, but even after i update everything in logic, there is no audio being played.


any other advice?
