Audiotuts+ Updates - Reason and Record Routing Tips – Setting Up and Using Rewire

Reason and Record Routing Tips – Setting Up and Using Rewire

Posted: 25 Oct 2010 01:00 AM PDT

In this series of screencasts I’m going to try and give you as many Reason and Record routing tips as possible. It’s a pretty big subject so I’ve started simple. This second video covers the basics of the using Rewire.

Over the course of this ten minute video I show you how to set up Rewire using Reason 5 and Logic Pro 9. Using this technique will allow you to pass audio and MIDI between the two applications. This means you can either use Reason as an effects and instruments rack or mix your finished Reason projects in Logic (or any other DAW).
