USING REASON AS A REWIRE SLAVE

124

About this Chapter

This chapter describes how to use Reason as a ReWire slave, that is with Reason de-

livering audio to another ReWire compatible application. It does not deal with using

ReBirth and Reason together; that is described on page 316.

Why use Reason with

ReWire?

While Reason is a complete music tool in its own right, you might want to add other

elements to the music, such as:

• Vocals.

• Instrumental recordings.

• Hardware synthesizers (controlled via MIDI).

Connecting Reason to another application allows you to do just this, integrate your

Reason songs with any other type of music, external MIDI and acoustic recordings. By

recording Reason onto audio Tracks in an audio sequencer you can also continue

processing your Reason tracks with other internal and external effects.

Introducing ReWire!

To make this integration between two audio programs possible, Propellerhead Soft-

ware has developed ReWire. This technology provides the following possibilities and

features:

In ReWire version 1

• Real time streaming of separate audio channels, at full bandwidth, into another au-

dio program.

• Automatic, sample accurate, synchronization between the audio in the two pro-

grams.

• The possibility to have the two programs share one sound card.

• Linked transport controls that allows you to play, rewind etc, from either program.

• Less total system requirements than when using the programs together in the con-

ventional way.

In ReWire 2

A number of features were added in Reason version 2. The following are the most im-

portant:

• Up to 256 audio channels (previously 64).

• Bi-directional MIDI communication of up to 4080 MIDI channels (255 devices with

16 channels each)

• Automatic querying and linking features that (among other things) allow a host to

display the slave’s devices, controllers, drum sounds etc. by name.

How Does it Work?

Basically the key to ReWire is the fact that Reason is divided into three components:

• The Reason application.

• The Reason Engine (a DLL on the PC and a Shared Library file on the Macintosh.

Both located in the Reason program folder.)

• ReWire (also a DLL on the PC and a Shared Library on the Macintosh).

ReWire and the Reason Engine are common resources to the two programs (the

other application and Reason) that generate the audio and passes it onto the other

audio application.

Terminology

In this text we refer to Reason as a ReWire slave and the application receiving audio

from Reason (this could be Steinberg Cubase, Emagic Logic Audio or Mark of the

Unicorn Digital Performer for example) as the host application.

About System Requirements

To run Reason together with another audio application of course raises the demands

on computing power. However, adding ReWire to the equation does not in itself re-

quire a more powerful computer. On the contrary, it is likely that ReWiring two pro-

grams requires less power than for example running them with one audio card each.

Still, you should be aware that running two powerful audio applications on one com-

puter will require a fast processor and most of all a healthy amount of RAM.
