This YouTube video shows how to configure NOTION 4 and Reaper 4.71/64 for ReWire 2 on the Mac running Mac OS X 10.9.4 (Mavericks). It will be similar or identical in Windows 7 and Windows 8 . . .
The current documentation for Reaper has mistakes, as does the Reaper/ReWire wiki, but so what . . . There is no completely accurate documentation for doing ReWire 2 for any DAW application and NOTION 4 or any other digital music production application that supports ReWire 2, so the key strategy is to do experiments and to find YouTube videos that provide useful clues, which is fabulous . . . Fabulous! P. S. I have not done anything with Reaper in a year or two, and it took about 10 hours to make sense of doing ReWire 2 with the new version of Reaper, but (a) it works nicely and (b) it is obvious that the Cockos have been working diligently . . . At one point when I was doing experiments, Reaper stopped recognizing 64-bit ReWire 2, which was vastly strange and a bit frightening, but I reinstalled Reaper v4.71; rebooted the Mac Pro; deleted the backup Reaper project files; and did a few other things on my list of "Stuff To Try When ReWire Stops Working", and the problem disappeared, which (a) is fine with me and (b) is something that happens at one time or another with every Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) application I have tested, hence so what . . . When one is doing experiments, strange things things often happen . . . ReWire 2 is a very powerful, advanced technology, and it is doing a lot of complex computing in the background, most of it in real-time, so it is not unusual for an occasional strange behavior to occur during the time one is discovering to get everything configured correctly . . . Once everything is working nicely, the strategy I use is to save the correctly configured DAW application project and a NOTION score, which I then use as "predefined" custom templates . . . The strategy is to open the "predefined" custom templates and then immediately to do a "Save As . . . " to clone them and to create the new DAW application project and NOTION score for the song. This way the original correctly configured and tested DAW application project and NOTION score are "golden" and pristine, and when I want to start a new song, I clone them, which takes just a few minutes . . . Lots of FUN!
