Default Need help with Reason

I'm currently running Reason 11 in rack mode in Pro Tools. Recently I've needed to go back to some much older sessions I have to resurrect some of those ideas for a few projects I'm working on. Unfortunately, those older projects in which I used Reason are all with Reason in Rewire mode, which we no longer have.
Suggestions on how I can resurrect those? If I can do that and see what I did, I can recreate in Rack mode. Not sure what to do. Help?

Not sure if on Mac or Windows, but have you ever considered doing a dual boot system with one drive running a supported OS and older PT version and the other partition with your current one?

I'm running on Win-11. That's sounds really complicated and I'm not sure I'd even know how to do that.

Hmmm ... just brainstorming here ...

Before attempting take a boot-drive image backup, like Macrium Reflect or similar. Then, you might be able to co-install Pro Tools 10, and access Reason via Rewire?

Perhaps someone more knowledgeable on this will chime in.

Open in standalone, save tracks as audio or mixes, midi then import.
Get sessions tempo 1st as older reason version did not save the tempos accross rewire.

That might work. Hadn't thought of that approach. One issue I have is the MIDI tracks that played the various Reason instruments are all in PT. But if I know what the modules and sounds were for each one then I can re-create in the Rack. It'll take a bit of work, but I should be able to do it this way. thanks.

I've struggled with this conundrum too. I don't believe the Reason folks have accounted for this forward compatability at all, which is super frustrating. Since I still have my old Pro Tools rig on a separate older Mac, I am able to jump back to old sessions. With Reason, I've had to go into the relevant Pro Tools session and save a Preset for each Reason instrument track I'm interested in resurrecting. Then you copy over and load those Presets into the relevant Reason Rack plugin track in the new session. It works, but it's a total PITB. Thankfully I have to do it a lot... Not sure this helps. Requires having an older version of your PT system around..

In my case, I had saved all those older Rewire sessions in Reason by the same session names as the PT session in which I used it. So what I'm doing is opening those sessions in Reason and seeing what Re's were on what channels and what patches, etc, and then I simply load those into the new PT session with Reason Rack and redirect the original MIDI tracks in PT to the new Reason Rack. So far, that seems to work. Takes a bit of time, but gets the job done.
