How to use ReWire to Connect Notion to Studio One September 30,2014
Did you know? Studio One and Notion can run simultaneously, giving you the combined magic of both? This is true in no small part to Propellerhead's ReWire. Here's how to set it all up! Wait, slow down. First, let's address what the heck ReWire is, and why you would want to take advantage of it.
ReWire is an industry-standard bit of software that serves as a communications platform between two DAWs. Having a couple DAWs (in this case, Studio One and Notion) allows them to stream up to 256 audio channels to one another. Furthermore, ReWire sees to it that both DAWs operate in precise synchronization, and provides shared transport functions between them. In other words, you only need to use a single set of play/stop/FFWD commands to control both DAWs simultaneously. ReWire has been getting DAWs to hold hands and play nicely together since 1998.
But why? A buncha reasons, including but not limited to:
You can add Notion's expressive samples to your Studio One compositions. Notion's sound sets include playing techniques well beyond simple vanilla samples that vary on a per-instrument basis, that include techniques like pizzicato, natural and artificial harmonics, trills, stacatto, and much more. (The fact that many were recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra doesn't hurt.)
If you're a producer/recordist who doesn't know a lot about traditional music notation, integrating Notion into your Studio One workflow is an excellent way to start learning, hands-on.
You will get to explore some potentially fascinating sonic territory blending traditional classical instrumentation with whatever dubstep or post-hardcore project you're up to in Studio One.
You can start a composition using Notion for iPad anywhere your inspiration strikes, open it in Notion for desktop, then rewire to Studio One to finish your tracks.
If you're wondering How do I get ReWire? You're going to like this answer. If you've already got Studio One (Producer or Professional editions) and Notion, then you've already got ReWire. Here's how to get rolling with ReWire in Studio One and Notion.
First, make sure that both Studio One and Notion are running in the same bit mode. They can both be in 32, and they can both be in 64, but they can't each be in one or the other. Notion it will show you what bit mode you are running at the bottom of the About screen-choose Help >> About from the drop-down menu. In Studio One, this information is found at the bottom of the Home Screen. You can change what mode they start in through the following steps:Open Notion. In the Preferences >> Audio menu, check the Enable ReWire tickbox. You'll only need to do this once.
Mac: right click the application's icon and choose Get Info. Next, check/uncheck the box to run as a 32-bit application.
Windows: Run the installer for either Studio One / Notion again, and choose which version to install. You can install both 32-bit and 64-bit of the same application on the same computer if you wish.
Close Notion.
Launch Studio One.
In Studio One's browser, select Instruments. You'll notice a listing for Notion alongside a familiar yellow logo (see upper right of this blog post)
Drag an instance of Notion onto the Edit Window.
In the dialogue that appears, click Open Application.
That's it! You're good to go.
A couple notes: (See what I did there?) Unlike other notation software, you can output up to 32 pairs of audio from Notion. This means you can have full control over the whole mix right inside of Studio One. One example would be to use Notion busses to separate brass, strings and percussion, and then create separate channels for them inside Studio One. Also note that if you have Progression, then ReWire works in the exact same way as Notion-just follow the steps above!
While it's pretty simple to get ReWire set up, we understand that computers are temperamental beasts from time to time. So if you run into a couple of bumps in the road through this process, check out our knowledgebase article on troubleshooting your ReWire setup.
The end result? Here's Studio One and Notion, playing nicely together:
