    Hello again guys!
    Since all of you really helped me out with my last problem, perhaps you could give me some advice with an rewire issue I'm having?
    I'm building a standalone application and I'm trying to make it so that it's rewire-compatible. I launched the app and chose "ad_rewire" in DSP status. However, when I open Pro Tools or Ableton and look for my application I can't seem to find it. Is there a way to make programs recognize my application as a rewire device?
    Thanks again for all of your help. I will post this application when it is finally finished :D

      You need to get your system to register your standalone as a Rewire device. If you're on a mac, you can try the following: 1. Control-click on the standalone, and select ‘show package contents’. 2. Select Contents/support/ad/MSPReWireDevice.bundle, and make an alias. 3. Drop the alias into the ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/Propellerhead Software/ReWire folder.
      When you first run your standalone and select the ad_rewire driver, it is supposed to place it’s own alias to the package’s Rewire bundle, renamed “your_app Rewire device” (where ‘your_app’ is the name of your standalone), but Rewire can be a bit flakey about this.

      ok, i cannot get this to work. these are the messeges i am getting
      ad_rewire: unable to register rewire device hostcontrol.6.test, error 666 ad_rewire: please check ReWire installation and restart Max/MSP.
      where hostcontrol.6.test is the name of my standalone.
      i checked in the folder and the msprewire bundle is there?
