craigvanhise wroteUnder "Rewire Setup" in Cubase I am only seeing Sibelius 7 and Reason as options for Rewire.
I tried multiple times to open up Cubase, then Notion in order to see if I could find an option to Rewire Notion into Cubase but it is not working. How do I make the Rewire connection to Cubase?

I downloaded and installed the trial version of Cubase LE AI Elements v11 and got it working with NOTION 6 for doing ReWire . . .

THOUGHTS

I use Studio One Professional 5 as my primary Digital Audio Workstation (DAW); but I do occasional experiments with Cubase to help people with ReWire--but not the version that requires a USB dongle, hence Cubase Elements . . .

As you can see in the YouTube video, it works nicely with NOTION 6 when the VSTi virtual instruments (IK Multimedia "Syntronik" in this example) are hosted directly in NOTION, in which case NOTION sends audio to Cubase on ReWire channels . . .



I do everything on the Mac, and at present my primary machine is a Mac Pro (Mid 2010) running macOS Mojave . . .

I have not done anything with Cubase in a while, so it took me about 30 minute4s to make senses of it . . .

The Cubase graphic user interface (GUI) is a bit alien and appears to be separated into parts; but the might be a matter of my not knowing how to configure it . . .

It took me a while to find the mixing board, but I found it . . .

I have not done an experiment with VSTi virtual instruments hosed in Cubase but played via External MIDI staves in NOTION, but I think the should work, although I have no plans to try it . . .

For practical purposes I have proved that Cubase does ReWire with NOTION when NOTION is sending audio via ReWire channels to Cubase, at least for Cubase LE AI Elements v11 . . .

SUGGESTIONS

When ReWire is not working, it's possible the computer (Mac or Windows) has become confused for some reason, in which case rebooting is a good idea . . .

Obviously, you want to start Cubase first to make it the ReWire host controller, after which you will start NOTION to make it the ReWire helper device . . .

If you are doing this on a Windows machine, then I cannot be much help; but it's working nicely on the Mac Pro (Mid 2010) running macOS Mojave here in the sound isolation studio . . .

Call me "cheap", but I prefer to do everything on computers that are at least 10 years-old . . .

The Mac Pro (Mid 2010) runs all the latest software--except IK Multimedia MODO DRUM, which requires a processor with AVX vector arithmetic support--and it saves me a lot of money by not buying a new Apple computer . . .

It also makes it. possible for me to avoid the Apple Silicon (M1) nonsense, which is going to be a big mess for years . . .

The last time Apple did something like this--when they dropped the Power PC and went to Intel--it took some music companies several years to redesign and code new versions for the Intel platform . . .

Windows probably is just as big of a mess, or soon will be since they have no choice but to follow Apple and to do something equally annoying and disrupting . . .

SUMMARY

It works on the Mac Pro (Mid 2010) running macOS Mojave here in the sound isolation studio . . .

If it's not working on your computer, then it's probably not configured correctly . . .

This is all that comes to mind at the moment . . .

Lots of FUN!

P. S. I need to sleep for a while, but I might do a more detailed YouTube video later, although I make no promises . Getting DAW applications and NOTION configured correctly for ReWire is different for each DAW application, so it can be a bit confusing . . .

As I recall, I had to do something in each of the three Cubase windows shown in the YouTube video (see above) . . .

There are a few important settings for NOTION, as well. Mostly it's a matter of checking the "Enable ReWire" option in NOTION Preferences, in which case quitting NOTION and then restarting NOTION is important, which is fabulous . . .

Fabulous!
