Notes:

  • Live is now in ReWire Slave mode; Nuendo is the ReWire Master.
  • Live will lock to the Nuendo tempo and transport with sample-accurate synchronization. If you change the tempo in Nuendo, Live will follow.
  • You can mixdown the Live ReWire input in Nuendo by setting the Left and Right Locators and choosing "Audio Mixdown" in Nuendo.
  • To disconnect the ReWire connection you must always quit Live first.
