Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Hi Folks,

I'm a Logic Express newbie.

Can someone help me with Rewiring audio from Reason 2.5 into Logic
Express 7.1 (LE). I'm trying to set up an ensemble of several NN-XT
samplers in Reason and have LE record the audio via Rewire. 

I've followed the steps on the Logic 6 tutorial from the
Propellerheads site, but no joy. I can't seem to record enable the
tracks in LE. As soon as I configure 2 adjacent tracks
in the LE Audio Mixer as 2 "Rewire" tracks ("Rewire MIX L and Rewire
MIX R"), the record enable button on each of the channel strips
disappears. I DO have co-ordinated playback with the transport buttons
in LE controlling the devices in Reason, so that aspect of the
Rewire protocol seems to be working. I also see levels in the meters
for each Rewire track when I push Start or Record in LE. I just can't
figure out how to get LE to start writing audio!

I've been through the online LE manual and can't find the answer. Is
it some setting in Reason?

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance,
Eric

Hi. You can't record the audio into logic from the rewire tracks.Which kind of makes sense. 
That way you are able to make adjustments to the rewire mix as well as anything else in 
reason. When you do a bounce the audio is included in the mix. But still not recorded into 
logic.The other work around is to make sure reason is set to the tempo of the logic song and 
create an audio file from reason then drag it into logic. Make sure logics tempo is set 
correctly nefore you import the audio or you will quickly fall way out of sync. Which you 
might find is the case anyway if it is a long audio file and you are doing a lot of stuff in logic 
like recording midi events for modulations of fx fades etc. The other good thing is if you 
haven't recorded any audio in logic yet you can see how the song say at 93bpm would sound 
if you pushed the tempo to say 97bpm or dropped it to 80bpm. That way you are still 
working with midi info and also if any FX and stuff are tempo synced they will still follow 
correctly. I never import the audio. I will do bounces during mixes. That way if something is 
sticking out or not sitting comfortably in the mix I can still easily tweak it. Imagine if you had 
to go back and re-record the reason track a bunch of times to finalize the mix. Long and 
time comsuming would be the case.Remeber to save often. This is a rule of thumb that can 
really make a difference at times between hours of work being lost and being able to re-open 
a project were you (or the computer as in crashed) left off. Taylor
