hi, i generally use cubase usually.
but yesterday i installed reason - just to have some relaxed fun with it but this software blowed me completly away..!!! 
(i have to stop to write down all my feelings about it, because it would break boundaries here)
what is the best way to connect it with cubase, there is a software-interface doing that right? how do i realise this?
has anyone experiences with it...?

hi there friend 
To rewire reason with cubase you go to the devices in cubase and if its everithing okay reason will appear in there.You click in it and then just click in the channels to turn it on.then you only have to open reason.That's it |

basically you can:
1. route each channel (bass drum, snare, synths, etc) mono or stereo to the hardware interface of Rewire. Pros: more control over each channel within Cubase; can use differnt fx on each channel. Cons: Strain on cpu.
2. just run everything through the stereo outs of the mixer into the hardware interface. (2 channels running into Cubase. Pros: less strain on cpu. Cons: all fx must be within Reason, pity if you have some great plug-ins.
3. you could just mix down seperately every loop you make as samples to load up in Cubase. Pros: less strain on cpu; can use ur fave plug-ins; more control within Cubase. Cons: If you want to change the sample you have to re-mixdown what u want in Reason by loading it up again, can be slow, or a pain.
i have started to use the first method, but my computer is having trouble to cope with complex arrangements (2.6ghz cpu and 1 gig of RAM - so not slow). That said Reason is actually incredibly efficient and it's the plug-ins on each channel that use up a lot of cpu. I might go back to method 3, which isn't too much of a pain.
(maybe there are more methods, please say if you know).

to make rewire work you must first run cubase and then reason. if you run reason first it won´t work.
in my opinion the best way to work with cubase & reason is to send each instrument of reason with or without reason fx´s into seperate chanels in reason hardware interface. this way you can have separete eq for each instrument in cubase mixer table which i think is better than reason´s. i don´t use reason mixer at all
then you go to cubase / devices / reason and open as many reason channels you want which will automaticly appear in cubase mixer. |

@all
thank you all very much for this good and usefull answers and the link.
@ pavel
2.0 - i am going to update soon!
@saxopholos
i have only a 1.3 GHz CPU with a small cache and 256 DDR - so you can imagine that i have lot experiences with downmixing/exporting and re-importing. a good way to use the 3th point could be to make a complete loopbased-percussion arrange (works for proggy productions good i think) in reason and export the drumtracks into cubase and add then effects and mixingtools, textures etc. for the finalmix.
