3. Quit Live.

4. Launch Cubase SX.

Notes:

• Live is now in ReWire Slave mode; Cubase SX is the ReWire Master.
• Live will lock to the Cubase SX tempo and transport with sample-accurate synchronization. If you change the tempo in Cubase, Live will follow.
• You can mixdown the Live ReWire input in Cubase SX by setting the Left and Right Locators and choosing "Export > Audio mixdown" from the Files menu.
• VST and AU devices are not available in Live while it works as a ReWire slave.
• Only Audio can be passed from Live to Cubase in ReWire mode, not MIDI.
• To disconnect the ReWire connection you must always quit Live first.
