I have Reason 2.5 and Protools LE and i know you can rewire them together which is cool, but whats the best way of starting a tune with this combo, as i know alot of people use these 2 programs together..(exporting audio loops from Reason into Protools)?

Does Reason 3 (i have 2.5) have a similar setting to FL studio which is dead handy called "split mixer tracks"? This
means that you can go ahead and make a full song in FL and when you come to export it splits all the audio tracks seperatley as seperate files!

Or do you have to write the song in Reason, bit by bit and then place the L & R locators, rendering the audio individually for each track?(which seems really laborious?!)

Surely there is a better and faster way of doing this?

any tips would be great!!!

You just mentioned the faster way. Do your arrangement in Reason and ReWire it to ProTools.
Wire your instruments in Reason to the hardware interface- DON'T use a mixer unless you need the sends and returns.
If you need sends and returns and are sending multiple instruments to the same effects, use a mixer for each and use spiders going into and coming out of the effects. Then, hook up the output of each mixer to the hardware interface. That's one place where the line mixers in Reason 3 come in handy.
Doing it that way, you can bounce your whole arrangement at once into ProTools as individual tracks.

Right thanks - I would like my sequences all in audio so i can cutup etc and add plug ins.. Is this still the best way to get it all into ProTools as Audio?

It's the fastest way. The only other way is to mute tracks and use Reason's export to export one track at a time- not a lot of fun.
