Re-Wire from Reason to Ableton

One of the very first questions I asked when I started working with Ableton Live and Reason was "How do I route (Re-wire) the Reason Instruments into Ableton?" After a little bit of trial and error, I finally figured out a way to Re-Wire Reason into Ableton. I have created a video tutorial to help guide you through the setup. The basic Steps are as follows...

1. You first need to open up Ableton Live (Important Ableton is First)

2. Next, open up Reason

3. Start a new Project by going File>New (Close demo)

4. Delete any default mixing/instrument devices (Leave Re-Wire Device [top])

5. Right Click and create your desired sound/instrument.

6. Go into Ableton and find where it says "Ext. In" under the Audio Track and select "Reason"

7. Under the MIDI track change the "MIDI To" selection to "Reason"

8. Below "MIDI To" another drop down box will appear change "Hardware" to "Desired Instrument"

9. Make sure the Input on the MIDI track shows "1/2" (Channels 1 & 2, 3 & 4, etc.)

10. Always make sure "MIDI" and "Audio" Tracks both are selected "IN"

11. Finally, trigger your controller or keyboard to make sure the signal and audio is coming through. You can now start recording your instrument from Reason in Ableton Live.
