Regarding using ReWire to connect another DAW as a slave...

[stpete111]

From the sticky thread in this subforum called "How to Improve Performance of VI's in Pro Tools" :

There are also solutions for situations where you need to be able to use larger sample libraries in your software instruments. The first is to use another DAW in ReWire mode and load your plug-ins and samples via the other host app, using Pro Tools to do your sequencing, piping the MIDI data from Pro Tools to the slave DAW and returning the audio data.

Has anyone successfully done this, and if so, what DAW did you use? Can you offer any advice based on your experience?

Mac or PC?

Hello I am also looking into setting up multiple DAWs in a ReWire setup (specifically PT9 and Nuendo5). I have read in an older white paper (rewire2) that DAWs within the rewire environment are always seen as master, hence not allowing selection of a slave. We are trying to find a way to interface with PT. The other option would appear to be a madi setup, but looks to be expensive. If anyone has experience on the topic I would really love your input!

Thanks

Reaper works nicely. It even starts by itself and loads the right session.

Do you use this setup in the manner described above? (i.e. Midi out from PT fed to a plugin instance in Reaper, audio sent back to PT...)
