Hey guys-
When I tried to make Live 5 a Rewire Slave to PT6.9, I could not use VST plugs in Live! Is that the case? No Plug-Ins in Live when in ReWire Slave mode? I just can't believe it.. It's a major reason (For me) to use live in the firstplace, sequencing VSTi's. I was planning on composing in Live, and re-recording into PT via Rewire to mix.

Yeah, that's the case.. it's was one of my biggest pet peeves, but after while of just using live, I realized that it's better just to use live, and rewire in the bounced tracks later, because PT is a huge processor hog. Using them both together just wouldn't be conducive to composing. Better to compose in live, and rewire to PT after you bounce the tracks to wav.
