It consists of four characters, such as 'Tas4' for AAS' Tassman 4, for instance, and 'Gig4' for Tascam's GVI (Giga Virtual Instrument).Įach VST instrument and plug-in should have its own Unique ID (displayed here using Toby Bear's VST-Spy), to avoid conflicts with others in some host applications. Identity CrisisĪt the heart of many VST instrument/plug-in issues is the VST ID, which is Steinberg's way of uniquely identifying a particular VST instrument/plug-in.

Unfortunately, detection doesn't always run so smoothly, so this month I'm offering some background info on how it all works, plus suggestions on how to solve possible conflicts. Installing a plug-in or instrument is generally a pain-free experience: all you do is drop the appropriate DLL file into the appropriate VST plug-ins folder, and the next time you launch your sequencer the new device will be detected and added to the list of those available.

Nearly every PC Musician now uses a VST-compatible host application, so there are a lot of people out there installing new VST plug-ins and instruments on a regular basis. Thankfully, Reaper will actually launch Reason for you! Let's check out how this works!įirst, create a new instrument track within Reaper by going to the Insert Menu and then selecting Create Virtual Instrument on New Track.Have you ever had a VST plug-in 'go missing' when you've installed an update, or conflict with another that's been newly added to your system? PC Notes explains why it happens and offers some solutions. The host application, in this case Reaper, will have to be running before you launch Reason. One thing to note before you set up a Rewire session between any applications is the start order. We're going to set up some drums coming from Reason, so that we can mix them in Reaper. In this tutorial, we're going to go through, together, how to set up Reason as a slave to Reaper. Because Reason does not support VST, or AU plug-ins. This is cool because it allows you to mix Reason within Reaper's environment using VST, and AU plug-ins that would otherwise be unavailable to Reason.
You can set up a track in Reaper that has another input coming from Reason that is a snare drum. What's also quite cool is that you get seamless lines of audio coming from the slave application (in this case Reason) that can be discretely plugged in to Reaper. For example, you can set up a track in Reaper that has a direct input coming from Reason that is only a kick drum. Reason becomes what's known as a slave, Reaper becomes what's known as the host. And this all happens on a single computer! Crazy, right? When this protocol is running, the host clock of Reason will be in perfect timing with the host clock of Reaper.

Rewire is the protocol that allows you to put Reason, or Ableton in to the Rewire 'mode' so that you can run them seamlessly with Reaper, Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, etc. In fact, Reason, and Ableton are designed to be just as cool working as an accessory to recording applications, as they are when being used as standalone applications. Some applications like Ableton Live and Reason are extremely complimentary to applications like Pro Tools, Logic Pro, and Reaper.
If you don't know what Rewire is, let me fill you in. Let's take a closer look at how this works. This is excellent because this means that you can easily use other Rewire compatible (what isn't these days?) music applications along with Reaper.

In Part 3 of this Reaper series I mentioned to you, when we were setting up virtual instruments, that Reaper is also a Rewire host.
