Rewiring Reaper
I know that it's possible to rewire Reaper into a track (or multiple tracks) into Pro Tools, and was wondering a few things.
Since Reaper can run VST plugins, could I not just use Reaper for any VST plugin I want, and rewire it into PT, effectively getting around that compatibility issue? Secondly, a similar idea. Since all the Digidesign supported hardware is much much more expensive, and Reaper will connect with any audio interface, could I buy a Presonus Firestudio (or something similar) and have the audio streaming into Reaper, and then rewired into Pro Tools? So this way Reaper becomes sort of a middle man in this scenario. I realize that doing this work around sort of stuff is not supported by Digidesign, and it would require extra CPU etc. But even in theory, is this sort of setup possible?

You can also obviate the track count limit. Track into PT, then consolidate to session start (and export as interleaved for stereo tracks), and drag the resulting files into Reaper. Or track a bunch into Reaper first, then ReWire it into a PT session and continue tracking there while monitoring the Reaper tracks. Quote:
Another limitation is that audio only goes one way. E.g, you can't send audio from PT to a verb in Reaper. You can send up to 32 separate audio streams from Reaper to PT, though, so you can use a verb in PT on tracks in Reaper. I believe PT insists on being the host. I don't think it can be ReWired into other programs.

Re: Rewiring Reaper
Alright, thanks for your help. I think I might get a firewire interface and record using Reaper so I can get 8 or even 16 tracks in easily. Thanks. Then I would switch over to PT for editing and everything else.
