I just wanted to share one of my free maschine tutorials which shows how to setup Maschine to stream audio directly into Reaper.
If you’re from the hardware days and you’re used to tracking stuff in real time, playing your mutes, solos, etc into a live audio recording, Reaper is a great tool to have.
They have this app called “ReRoute” that lets you stream audio from any application into Reaper audio tracks
You can setup however many you need I believe, I had 16 but I believe you can use more. You just create the audio tracks in Reaper and tell it which reroute input to record.
In Maschine you just setup the routing so that it uses the reroute as your external outputs.
I did this video e a while ago on Youtube, before we had MT, Â but still wanted to share it here as well, just to keep all the info in a central location
Good one bro. Very useful. That’s a sweet Reaper theme with. What’s the name of it? Love the Maschine icons.
I think this was the studio one theme lol
Thanks, I’ll need to search that. I hate the dark theme that comes with reaper.
word man, I feel you
Thanks for this. This exactly the workflow im trying to achieve. On the fly muting, stutter effects etc into a DAW like reaper for better mixing. Only problem is rearoute is not available for mac i don’t think. Iv’e installed Reaper and googled rearoute for mac but have had no luck. This looks great for pc users though.
If anyone has worked around this for their mac please let me know! It’s one of the last workflow issues i need to get past before this things perfect. Thanks!
You have to install it when you first install Reaper, try to run the installer again and see if it shows up, I don’t know if it’s windows only, I didn’t think it was.
Thanks, I tried again and you only get the option to drag the Reaper and Reamote apps to the applications draw. Looks look im outta luck for now.
Thanks though, i’ll post here if i find anything 🙂
Yeah I’m not a mac user so not sure how the install works there, sorry 🙂
could i use copplerlan instead of loopBe ? if so would it be the same settings as the tonespace post you had?
Yep, I did this one about a year before I found copperlan, which is what I use now. But yes, it would be the same thing
Nice one. Can you slave or sync maschine to reaper’s playback/record? I’ve got everything routed, and just installed loopbe, but can’t work out if it’s possible to hit record in reaper and slave playback in maschine
Yeah, Maschine can sync to an external midi clock, so set reaper to send midi clock out to maschine, in maschine in the file menu, set it to “sync to external clock”
That’s good to know it works! Is there any chance you could post up your exact Reaper settings? I’ve tried loads of different things (already ‘checked sync to external midi clock’ before in maschine) but just can’t get it to work. Like I said I’ve only just grabbed loopbe1, and also tried different combinations in the MTC playback controls in Reaper, but no luck.
I never really tried it myself, I think Maschine needs to receive midi clock though, not midi time code (MTC).
I aways suggest if you want to sync it to a daw to load it as a plugin, it’s quicker/easier to do and everything will be 100% in sync, no drift.
This method I would suggest if you want Maschine to be in control of the tempo/clock. You could try syncing Reaper to Maschine so that Reaper starts when you start Maschine.
