ReWire Issues with Logic Pro 9 and Notion Slave
Posted: Sun Nov 29, 2009 1:26 am
Hey Everyone!
First, let me congratulate the Notion team for doing an outstanding job on this piece of software! Having been a veteran of Finale, Sibelius, and many DAWs, I've found that this current incarnation of Notion is simply phenomenal and will simplify my workflow exponentially.
My ONLY issue right now is that I need to sync Notion to film. I understand that Notion does not support direct syncing (I would like to request this feature!!!) but it does support ReWire.
My DAW of choice is Logic Pro 9 and I, thus far, have not been able to have a consistent experience with ReWire/Notion/Logic [with Notion as the slave]. To be more precise, I can only get the playhead to sync to Notion once. As soon as I stop playback in Logic, my playhead becomes out of sync with Notion. It is absolutely critical that this does not happen because I'll have a film clip in Logic and then that clip will get out of sync with Notion. I have noticed that if I hit the spacebar twice in Notion I can "kick the playhead loose" so to speak and then it will work one more time in Logic, but stop working after that.
Here are my steps:
1. Open Logic
2. Setup an Aux Track with Notion's first stereo pair as the input source
3. Open Notion
4. Open a score
5. Hit play in Logic
6. Stop Logic and try to play again - then experience issues
I did have to open the Notion Package and copy the bundle file into the ReWire folder in my library. This made Notion ReWire available in Logic, however I'm wondering if this is also part of my current problem since the installer did not do this for me.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
