Odd ReWire occurance

Post by steadiedhisrifle »

Hello all. Been a while since I posted here (I had a brief stint of love for Logic Pro), but I am back with DP and intend to stay here for good.

This morning I began a project using DP and Reason. Everything was fine. I then installed an update for my Firewire 410, version 1.7.1. I then start up the same project, and poof, DP no longer recognizes Reason. Reason recognizes itself, it says that it is in ReWire Slave Mode, but it will not respond to Transport commands from DP. Also, all outputs on my MIDI tracks in DP note "Reason: bus 6-3" etc., but they are italicized. When I click on them, all I get as options are IAC Driver, no Reason anyhere to be found. In addition, all outputs on Audio tracks list the proper Firewire out, but all are italicized as well. In fact, the only thing valid is the input on my Aux track bringing in the Reason Mix.

I made sure to reset the 410 in the Hardware Driver section of DP as well as in Audio MIDI after the driver install. I guess the obvious thing to do would be to just uninstall the driver, but I wanted to check if anyone had any other suggestions first. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

The first thing I would do is repair permissions.

Also, it's possible your shared rex library was corrupted or even removed. I've had some issues with certain files getting erased by an installer that seemingly had nothing to do with the files that were erased.

First, try a search for the shared rex library file to see if it's still there. If not, download it from propellerhead's site and reinstall.

Try reselecting the Reason inputs to your aux track. In the aux input pop-up list go all the way back to "New Stereo Bundle" and reselect your Reason channels. Sometimes this gets lost, even though it looks fine.

I feel so stupid. The Firewire outputs in DP got renamed to something different with the driver upgrade. Just had to reselect them and everything fell into place. Thanks for your help guys.
