REWIRE
470
1. First launch Record.
2. Then launch the host application.
You may get a warning message in the host application, regarding ReWire, but you can safely ignore it. Please also
note that the two programs now compete for system resources such as audio cards, just as when running either with
other, non-ReWire, audio applications.
Using the Transport and Tempo controls
Basic Transport controls
When you run ReWire, the transports in the two programs are completely linked. It doesn’t matter in which program
you Play, Stop, Fast Forward or Rewind. Recording, however, is still completely separate in the two applications.
! When you run Record as a ReWire slave, it’s not possible to record on audio tracks in Record.
Loop settings
The Loop in Record and the corresponding feature (Loop, Cycle etc.) in the host application are also linked. This
means that you can move the start and end point for the Loop/Cycle or turn the Loop/Cycle on/off in either program,
and this will be reflected in the other.
Tempo settings
As far as tempo goes, the host application is always the Master. This means that both program will run in the tempo
set in the host application. However, if you are not using automated tempo changes in the host application, you can
adjust the tempo on the transport in either program, and this will immediately be reflected in the other application.
! If you are using automated tempo changes in the host application, do not adjust the tempo on the Record
Transport Panel, since that tempo the doesn’t have any effect on playback!
! If you are using automated tempo changes in the host application, or change the Tempo in the host applica-
tion, Record will not use high-quality stretching of audio tracks!
Routing audio
Preparations in Record
When you route audio from Record to a ReWire host application, you make use of the Record Hardware Interface at
the top of the rack. Basically, each output in the Hardware Interface is connected to a separate ReWire channel.
• To take full advantage of the mixing features in the host application you need to connect the different Record
Mix Channel and/or Audio Track devices directly to the Hardware Interface (see “Using the Mix Channel and
Audio Track devices’ Direct Outs”).
For example, if your Record Song contains eight different instrument devices and you connect these, either di-
rectly or via their Mix Channel devices, to separate audio outputs on the Hardware Interface, they will appear on
separate ReWire channels in the host application. You can then use the mixing facilities in the host application to
adjust volume and pan, add effects and equalizing etc. - individually for each Record device.
If you instead connect all your Record devices via the Main Mixer to the stereo input pair on the Hardware Inter-
face, all sounds will appear mixed on a single ReWire stereo channel pair. While this works perfectly fine, you won’t
be able to mix and process the devices separately in the host application.
