The problem is, I use Cubase and he uses Pro Tools. I thought that I could just select every track and then go to 'Export Selected Tracks', but this exports everything (including scratched tracks) when all I want is each track as is in the DAW and ready for him to just drop into Pro Tools, in time. MASCHINE has 16 pads, so it might seem like you can only map 16 TRAKTOR functions to them. But that’s not the case, thanks to Pages. With Pages, the same set of 16 pads can be switched to control, say, Deck A and Deck B, with a separate Page of assignments for each Deck. Rewire inputs are brought into Pro Tools tracks via the Rewire RTAS plug-in. There's not much to learn in order to take advantage of Rewire, as the system intelligently configures itself when you launch the two programs. Your main job is choosing the routing of audio and MIDI.

Despite Reason being such a powerhouse all by itself (and with the help of some excellent Rack Extensions) there's still times you might want to ReWire it to another DAW. Hollin Jones shows how .

You might ask why ReWiring Reason and Cubase together is still a thing when Reason now records audio tracks? Well, the truth is that for basic stuff like audio tracking, you don’t need to do this anymore. However there are many other reasons you might want to route MIDI and audio between the two apps. Cubase has video support, which Reason doesn’t. And Cubase can load all those lovely third-party VST effects, which Reason can’t do either. So although both are capable apps in their own right, there are still circumstances under which you might want to link them up and have data flowing between them rather than having to print stems and transfer them across.

Step 1: Check your settings

You will need Cubase and Reason to both be running in the same bit mode. Locate the apps in your Applications folder and Get Info on both by pressing Apple-I or Properties in Windows. Make sure that both apps are set to open in the same mode, whether that’s 32- or 64-bit mode. Then boot Cubase first and Reason second so the host and slave are correctly identified.

Step 2: Link the apps

If all has worked correctly, Reason will have defaulted to passing its master stereo outputs to Cubase’s mixer over ReWire. In Cubase, go to the Devices menu and choose Reason ReWire. Activate the Mix L and R channels and play the project. Any sounds in Reason’s sequencer should now play through into Cubase. This would be one way to easily use a mastering processor like iZotope Ozone on the live output of Reason without having to export from Reason first.

Step 3: Split some channels

Imagine that you want to send a specific module or track through from Reason into Cubase to process it with your favorite VST or AU effect. Go into Reason and locate the module you want to send through. Spin the Rack round to see its rear connections then right-click on the outputs to reveal the destination select menu. In this menu, scroll to Hardware Interface and choose the ReWire channels you want to activate. In this case, 3 and 4.

Step 4: Add some effects

In Cubase, activate the same channels you just selected: 3 and 4. You should find that the output from the Reason module now flows through onto separate channels and you can apply any effects you want. If you like, you could also use this to record the stream onto a Cubase audio channel. Antares autotune evo crack. You can repeat this with as many channels as you need. Although there is a limit, it’s not one you are likely to run up against.

Step 5: Route MIDI

If you create a MIDI track in Cubase and go to its input select menu, you will see that it can receive MIDI from any of the tracks in Reason. This would be useful for loading up a plug-in instrument in Cubase but using Reason’s sequencer, with its ReGroove and other MIDI programming tricks, to trigger it. By clicking on the output routing selector here, it’s also possible to do the reverse by selecting a Reason module as a destination and thus route MIDI from Cubase’s MIDI track to trigger Reason’s sounds!
