I want to send audio from Live to Max. Not just MIDI, also Audio. How could I achieve this?

Create an options.txt file for Live like described here.

https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/209772865-Options-txt-file

Add a line with "-EnableReWire" option inside options.txt.

Start Max (perhaps with "Run as Admin") and add a rewire~ object, check its Help, etc.

Start Live after Max, it has to be Run as Admin, from my experience.

Then you should be able to use rewire~ to receive audio from Live 11 (it worked here with the rewire~Help patch).

EDIT: Oh wait, I missed the "Windows 11" thing, I am still on Win 10. Hope it still works in Win 11. Remember the run as admin thing, that's a pain with the latest Win versions.

Add a line with "-EnableReWire" option inside  options.txt.

It worked! I followed those exact steps and I got audio flowing into my Max patch =). Question, if I don't want to use Live as a "rewire" device, I should erase that line in the Options.txt, right?

Yeah, you can also "comment it out" by adding something like a # in the beginning of the line.
