Mixing down ReWire instruments
To either mix down or bounce ReWire instruments to new audio tracks, use the same procedures as
for synths.

Automating ReWire instruments
You can automate audio and MIDI tracks that are patched to ReWire instruments the same ways
you can automate any of SONAR’s audio and MIDI tracks.

ReWire troubleshooting guide
The following lists some common issues when you use ReWire with SONAR:
•
SONAR Won’t Close Properly. Always close your ReWire applications before closing SONAR
or a SONAR project.
• Rebirth Won’t Play After I Open Its Property Page. Make sure that the Loop switch in Rebirth
is enabled.
• My ReWire Project Plays at a Different Tempo when Opened from SONAR. When you open
a ReWire project from SONAR, the ReWire project assumes SONAR’s default tempo, which is
100. Change SONAR’s tempo to match your ReWire project.
• My MIDI Controller Works in SONAR or my ReWire Application, but not Both. Choose
different MIDI In ports for both SONAR and your ReWire application. Do this in SONAR by using
the
Edit > Preferences > MIDI - Devices command, and highlighting the MIDI In port you want to
use in SONAR. If you only have one MIDI In port on your MIDI interface or sound card, enable
that input in either SONAR or your ReWire application, and disable that input in the other
application.
• I Get a MIDI Input Error Message When I Open a ReWire Application. If you only have one
MIDI Input port on your MIDI interface, you probably have that one reserved for SONAR, leaving
none for your ReWire application. If you would rather use your MIDI controller in the ReWire
application instead of SONAR, you can deselect your MIDI input port in
