Hello,
I've recently purchased Mainstage 2.2, and Reason 6.5 on a MacBook Pro with 10.7.4 and 8gigs of RAM. I can't seem to get Reason to talk to mainstage via ReWire. I've tried running both apps as 32 and 64 bit, and of course I launch Mainstage first. I've heard of at least one other person with this issue..
Is there a solution? Please help 🙂
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
I'm looking to purchase Reason and have the same question. I can't get the Reason 6.5 demo to ReWire with MainStage 2 and would love to know if anyone has managed to get this working....and if so, how?
In MainStage 2.2.2 (the most recent version) ReWire is turned off by default! You have to enable it in the audio preferences first.
Mmmm, I'm using 2.1.3 (but also have 2.2.2) and Reason 6.5 definitely doesn't work with it....I think the problem is with the Reason update.
But thanks for the heads-up re. ReWire and MS 2.2.2...I'd never have thought of that solution. Seems a bit silly that it's turned off by default.
I just managed to get Reason 6.5 working with MainStage by running Reason in 32-bit mode. So that's MainStage v2.1.3 working. I reckon that Oberon's issue will probably be fixed by Blueberry's suggestion i.e. turning on ReWire support in MS Preferences.
EDIT: I just tested Reason 6.5 with MainStage 2.2 and it worked after putting both DAWs in the same mode (i.e. 32-bit or 64-bit) AND after turning on ReWire support in Audio Preferences just as Blueberry suggested.
Thanks Blueberry! That fixed my problem.. Now I need to figure out how to delete devices/manage two separate midi keyboards... For some reason I can't get rid of Impulse 49 in the midi set up window.
Has anyone been able to successfully rewire Reason 6.5 into Mainstage 2.2? Please help
