I want to send some channels from tracktion into ableton live? But it wont let me.
How can i do that?

Tracktion was only ever capable of being a Rewire i]master[/i], I believe; you cant run it as a Rewire slave to something else.
An idiot on Set Theory:
"In some cases there is an object called red that contains everything that is red. In much the same way a pot is a plate."

hey, 100F,

What didn't work? You couldn't set up the tracks? Couldn't hear the audio or something else?

This is what I did to make rewire work here:
- open T7, Settings tab -> Plugins -> turn on the "Enable Rewire" option on the lower right corner (if it isn't on already)
- restart T7
- in any track's panel in your T7 project: right click -> Add new plugin -> Tracktion Plugins -> ReWire Device
- click on the ReWire Device plugin to show its properties on the bottom panel
- on 'Choose Device', select 'Ableton'

- now you open Ableton Live, it will tell you that it's running in rewire slave mode, you can confirm that by going into Live's preferences (Live -> "Options" menu -> Preferences -> Audio)
- going back to T7 rewire plugin properties, in "Input channel for MIDI" choose "MIDI Bus: 1. (Unnamed)", and under that all the midi tracks in your Ableton project will be shown
- in Ableton every track has an "Audio to" option, choose "ReWire Out" and right under that you can choose a Bus to send the audio to ("Mix L/R", "Bus 3/4", "Bus 5/6", etc)
- back in T7's rewire plugin, on "Output channels to use" you can select the bus that will "listen" to the audio coming from Ableton.

You can have as many rewire plugins sending midi and listening to audio from as many tracks in Ableton as you want.
From what I've tested here whyterabbit is right, T7 can only be used as a rewire master.

Hope that helps!

Thank you but i want tracktion into live.
I wish tracktion could act as a rewire slave too.

I guess for 21 usd. you get what you pay for.

no problem, but then what is it exactly that you're trying to solve? Why do you necessarily need Tracktion to be the slave? maybe there's another solution.

My guess is he wanted to use MPE; I'm trying to figure out if I can use Waveform or Bitwig to Ableton so I can use my MPE devices.
