Using ReWire
The ReWire plug-in is installed when you install
Pro Tools. All inter-application communica-
tions between Pro Tools and ReWire client soft-
ware is handled automatically.
To use a ReWire client application with Pro Tools:
1 Make sure that the ReWire client application
is installed properly and that you have restarted
your computer.
2 In Pro Tools, choose Track > New and specify
one Instrument track (or audio or Auxiliary In-
put track), and click Create.
3 In the Mix window, click the Insert selector on
the track and assign the ReWire RTAS client
plug-in to the track insert.
The ReWire client application launches auto-
matically in the background (if the client appli-
cations supports auto-launch).
4 Configure the ReWire client application to
play the sounds you want.
5 In Pro Tools, set the output of the client appli-
cation in the ReWire plug-in window. This is the
audio output of the ReWire client to Pro Tools.
Inserting a ReWire client on a track (Reason shown)
If the client application does not support
auto-launch, launch it manually. Some Re-
Wire client applications may need to be
launched and configured before launching
Pro Tools (such as Cycling 74’s
MAX/MSP). Others may need to be
launched after Pro Tools is launched (such
as Ableton Live). For more information,
consult the manufacturer’s documentation
for your ReWire client application.
