I start with what I call the "Basic Rhythm Section", which is a sketch of the song and has simple drumkit, bass, and rhythm guitar or piano staves, along with a staff for the simple melody, where the drumkit usually is a kick drum, snare drum, and hi-hats. When I am creating songs this way, it's not unusual to have 25 to 50 NOTION subscores. The solution is to create songs in layers, where each layer is a NOTION subscore that has only a few VSTi virtual instruments and no VST effects plug-ins. This strategy works nicely but some of the VSTi virtual instruments are highly resource intensive, which overall maps to NOTION becoming overwhelmed by all the processing that has to be done in real-time on the fly. I have been doing ReWire sessions since 2010 with Digital Performer (MOTU) as the ReWire host controller and NOTION and Reason as ReWire slaves and for the most part this was focused on ReWire Audio, where the VSTi virtual instruments were hosted in NOTION and the AU and VST effects plug-ins were hosted in Digital Performer. įor reference, I am writing a book on digital music production (which is coming along nicely) but while never lacking in what at times is overwhelming self-esteem and occasionally considering myself to be the "Source of All Knowledge in the Known Universe", when I decided to include a chapter on ReWire, I had to pause for a while to determine the correct way to present the big picture.

In this project, I am going to provide a few insights into the various strategies for doing ReWire with NOTION 6 and Studio One Professional 3.5+.
