About ReWire - what is the future of DAW to DAW connectivity?

There are tools like this, it’s a bit of a mess - but none of these really have the transport sync of ReWire, which is absolutely crucial to getting ReNoise to become one with the host DAW.

Currently the workable options seem to be using Redux (though this does not really come very close to ReNoise) or to work with an older version of Ableton Live that still supports ReWire.

By transport sync, do you mean you want to sync the play/stop buttons? If you just want to sync tempo, bars, etc., Ableton Link would be useful.

It may be tedious, but if you combine that with MIDI Clock related functions, etc., it looks like in principle you could do what you want to do.

Sorry if that is not the case.

Like ReWire, I’d be looking for absolute song position sync (beat/bar/tempo/transport) so that i could jump anywhere in the host app and have Renoise follow precisely. Also, of course, multi-channel audio.

I don’t mean to offend you, but from what you say, it seems to me that the problem is more with Ableton Live and not Renoise, which may be more cumbersome than Rewire, but there are alternatives.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

No, sorry, I misread that. I think you are fine.

hi there, just checking is the midi sync working for you properly with all the SPP’s etc… i recently made a thread demonstrating most if not all DAW’s being incompatible with MIDI Sync, out of the box… wondering is there a DAW that actually works with the MIDI Sync

As a sidenote, to inspire maybe someone with the ability to code - the ReWire itself, was built around MIDI Sync / transportability controls… that seem to function with MIDI Sync messages… then audio was routed somehow like Jack…

Anyhow… wondering how to get any of this working - in 2024
