Activating ReWire Channels in Logic Audio
To activate the desired inputs from Reason, in Emagic Logic Audio, proceed
as follows:
1. Open the Audio Mixer window from the Audio menu.
Locate the first channel that you want to use for ReWire input and select
it by clicking at its name at the bottom of the channel strip.
2. In the inspector to the left, pull down the “Cha” menu and select the
desired ReWire input.
In the list that appears, all ReWire inputs are listed one after the other.
This list does not display the name of the application, so if you have more
than one ReWire application installed (for example both Reason and Re-Birth)
be careful to select the correct input.
3. Continue to select more channels and activate ReWire inputs for
these.
Logic Audio presents all ReWire inputs as mono, so to set up a stereo
pair, like the Left and Right outputs from Reason you need to use two
channels.
4. Connect devices in Reason to the corresponding channels on the
Hardware Device and the audio from these outputs will appear in
the Mixer in Emagic Logic.
How the ReWire Channels are handled in
Emagic Logic
When you activate ReWire channels in Logic Audio, as described above,
channels in the Audio Mixer will play the audio coming in via ReWire.
These channels have the following properties:
❥Just above the pan control you can see the name of the ReWire in-put.
❥These channels are identical to regular audio channels. That is,
they have all the fx, bussing and automation facilities provided for
regular hard disk recording channels.
❥The ReWire channels are all in mono. To set up a stereo pair, use
two adjacent channels. If you want to make identical settings for the
two channels (for example perform a stereo fade), select both chan-nels
by holding down [Shift] and move the desired control on either
of them.
❥For information about how to set levels, panning, EQ, fx and bus-sing,
and how to create automation, see the Logic Audio documen-tation.
