Subject:rewire rendering bug Posted by: shakey Date:8/23/2009 11:11:06 AM If I have a project with nothing but rewire tracks, and all the audio coming from reason, it is not possible to use render as (the button is greyed out) unless I put an audio track in the project and draw a blank audio clip in. This is completely pointless
Subject:RE: rewire rendering bug Reply by: pwppch Date:8/23/2009 2:34:35 PM There is nothing to render on the ACID time line, so ACID doesn't let you render. Having content in ACID is a requirement.

There is also a problems with doing what you want to do: ReWire does not communicate its project's length to the host. So, how long does ACID render for? To ACID, a ReWire client looks like an audio source and a MIDI destination. It would be the same thing as rendering from a mic or guitar plugged into an input and having no media on your time line.

Subject:RE: rewire rendering bug Reply by: shakey Date:8/24/2009 6:56:29 AM the length should be set by the loop region using the save loop as function. I often have sessions making sounds using reason in conjunction with vst fx on the acid mixer. This is because the sound engine in acid is much better than the one in reason, and reason does not have the capacity to use external plugins.

Yes, this is a workaround for the short commings of ReWire. However, it would require that the user sets up the region otherwise the results would be indeterminate. It will be considered. Peter
