ReWire

[jacksoncityjohn]

I have the current version of RW Standard. I'm using rewire to bring in sound from FL7. Everything seems to be working right but nothing records. The FL7 song starts as soon as I hit record in RiffWorks, the ReWire tab is checked and the LEDs in the rewire window are bumping and grinding, but no sound recording.

The Input LEDs at the bottom left are not lighting up... Should they be?

Any suggestion/ideas?

yeah, those should respond as they monitor your input signal on your ASIO setting coming in. Check your setup in the ASIO. Click on the audio setup tab in the lower right corner, an ASIO setup popup window will appear. Check your settings. To modify, hit the 'open ASIO control panel' tap in the lower left in the setup popup window-adjust until you have signal.

Thanks, but didn't work.

I was reading some other posts on rewire and saw that one person said RW records through rewire, you just can't hear it in the recording until you mix it to .wav and he was right. I don't know where it goes when it's going into RW, but it showed up in the wave file.

I can't believe this is the way it is supposed to work though. It only seems logical that it would record to a layer in the riff and play back when you play the riff, just like guitar input.

Does everyone who uses ReWire have to do it this way?

Love RiffWorks' ease of use! Been playing around with all kinds of other software since getting RiffWorks. Although other programs are more robust and have more options, Nothing compares to RW for getting the job done quick and easy. In the time it took me to learn the whole RW program, I have learned just a small fraction of FL Studio 7 and I get the feeling that I will never get to the point of making a song as intuitivly as I can in RW. I'm anxious to see RiffWorks grow!

Oh... and by the way RiffWorks bombs out on me quite often when I'm working in conjunctin with FL7. Same for other folks?

FLStudio works by playing thru your rewire channel. It cannot record live it will render with your song.

As Stephan says, you cannot record layers via rewire. In RW Rewire acts as Instant Drummer, you hear the sounds coming directly from the rewire application. When you mix the song or the riff, the sound coming from the rewire application is included in the mix.

which raises a a very interesting but limiting problem in Riffworks...

Rewire is used on Riff level. So what if i've got 4 riffs, each with a rewire application, say Reason? Does that mean I have to open Reason 4 times? I haven't tried this situation yet, but I can see some problems/restrictions here.

It would really be a nice feature to have the rewire option on song level so you would only have to open a particular rewire application once.

[Charvelguy]

So you are just dividing the 8 bar in the reason app into 4 RW riff segments.
Sorry about the misadvice, I obviously do not use rewire or FL7.

[andrik]

all the same, linking rewire on Riff level is kind of awkward wouldn't you agree?
I see how it works now, but it certainly would be nice to have an option to use rewire on song level. That would be a bit more natural.

Maybe a nice feature for a future update?

RW works fine with reason. You can even select the bars corresponding to each riff. I usually separate the riffs in reason, say bar 1 to 8 for riff one, bar 10 to 18 to riff two, etc. Sometimes the info is lost, though, but moving the loop selection in reason you recover it easily.

Is there a way of saving the combination Riffworks and Reason (through Rewire) song to a WAV or other file for purposes of burning to a CD ?

Click the mix button and then click the Mix to Wav in Riffworks and it will "render" the Reason and Riffworks tracks / layers to WAV.......

Thx !
