First, go into audio midi setup and enable the IAC midi driver.

Next start logic, then live as rewire.
Create your rewire audio objects as normal so that you are recieving audio from Live into the logic mixer.

Next, in the environment/click & ports (is that what the layer is called??), make sure the midi in isn’t being summed for all of your inputs (by default, Logic sums all available inputs. You need o manualy select which inputs you want logic to respond to (excluding the IAC driver). If you don’t do this, logic will be trying to send and recieve data via the iac driver and it won’t be pretty…

Create a new Multi instument and in the properties of the inrtument select the IAC driver as it’s midi port. This means that this instrument will send midi data via this port.

you can now add one of the insturments from the multi into your arrangement. In Live, create a midi strip and assign it to recieve on the IAC driver and select the same midi channel you have selected in Logic. Also, in Live, make sure you are not recieving on any of your other midi ports (switch them off in preferences) as you may find that you’re just playing live from your keyboard and not really from logic. you should now be able to use Live’s instruments as kind of “plug in’s” via rewire… has worked great for me except now i have moved to Logic 8 i get System overloads…. BASTARDS!!!

ANYONE KNOW what to do? is it reason 4, or ableton 6.0.10? or vista? because i was running reason 3, 6.0 something (not 10) and xp and it was all fine, updated everything and now have no idea whats wrong.
HELP!

Thanks!

That is possible; it just doesn’t work in the included ReWire template that ships with Logic. You need to go into the Environment and create an *additional* ReWire object under MIDI Instruments � on top of the ReWire objects created for the audio returns. Then you need to assign that input to an Instrument track in the Arrange :window.

Same problem for me.
When I play the keyboard I hear Operator
Sending a miditrack from Logic does not work

I did this in the environment
New/internal/rewire
Put the object in the arrange, drag the miditrack in the rewire object
No sound

Settings in Live midi slot:
Midi from all ins
All channels
monitor auto
midi button red

(What, you expected the template called ‘ReWire Slave’ to actually let you use a ReWire Slave? Or maybe you thought the documentation would explain this clearly? Or maybe you thought it would work like every other program on the market?)

Now, of course, if you’re trying to do the reverse — route MIDI from Live into Logic — that is indeed impossible. But I’m guessing you’re trying to go from Logic to Live.

Same is true of any other ReWire slave, incidentally. (What I’d love is to be able to control Logic as a ReWire slave from Live as a master, but I’m guessing that’ll happen round the time that Apple starts making Intel-based Ma– wait, bad example.)

Of course, you’re right about the MidiPipe solution, which is quite brilliant for accomplishing many things not possible in Logic’s ReWire implementation, like going the reverse direction.

I’m researching this more and plan to post detailed tutorials and templates soon; I want to make sure I’ve got it all right first and will try to run it by Apple.

The solution is MidiPipe, which can work the other way and allow you to do something even more useful–control Logic’s instruments with Live. Add audio with Soundflower or Jack and you’ve got Live’s interface and all of Logic’s effects and instruments. Not a bad rig.

Of course, you don’t get Rewire’s synchronizing features, but if you set Logic’s and Live’s transport functions to the same midi controls, you get nearly the same effect.

We were taking some older Reason projects and applying Altverb to some of the sources. At first I was just bringing the Reason audio into the DAW then applying Altverb to the channel. The issue was that we were seeing odd delay and offsets in the way everything was being played back.

The cause of these problems is that your DAW doesn’t know what is coming in from the ReWire source so it can’t do the look ahead syncing for the latency so sometimes it gets it right but usually you’re ReWire audio comes in first then the rest of the audio starts playing.

The way around this is to bring the ReWire audio in, bounce to disk, then apply your effects as needed. Outside of that, ReWire has treated us well in DP…
