    hey everyone, i'm new to this forum, new to Max/MSp and new to ProTools. So I hope you wont mind me asking a simple question. I'm working with a few stand-alone msp patches, simple things, yet I'm having great difficulty getting it to talk to ProTools. I've gotten advice to use DirectConnect, but I heard this was discontinued in PT after version 6.2? I'm working with 6.9 ReWire was another suggestion, yet I can't get it to recognize MSP. Does anyone know a simple solution that is staring me in the face and I just can't see it? Any suggestions would be appreciated, as I'm having now to take the approach of recording a realtime msp session in minidisc, then transferring into PT. Thanks. R Storm

      I have no experience with rewire but I'm sure you can write soundfiles from maxmsp with [sfrecord~], and then import the files into ProTools. At least it would be easier than the minidisc workaround.

      Hi, you can record directly in your patch with adoutput~ and sfrecord~ objects.
      From the help of adoutput~ : You can use adoutput~ to record the current audio output, or to feed it back into your patcher. The output of adoutput~ is delayed by one signal vector with respect to the actual output.
      See the example in help. Regards, Chris

      Rewire is the way to go; check the Audio I/O section of the MSP Tutorials and Topics.pdf DirectConnect died with OS9. Afaicr it goes something like: launch your Max apps; select ad_rewire as your audio driver. Launch PT, create a new track and select max/msp as the input. Away you go. If you really have trouble getting ReWire working then you can just record everything from MSP to disc, either using the Quickrecord patch in the extras menu or make your own with an sfrecord~ fed by an adouput~ . That way you can at least avoid the horrors of ATRAC and SCMS ;-) Sorry, I work with students editing to Minidisc and I have developed a deep mistrust of the things, Cheers Roger

      what platform are you on? on osx, you can use jack and soundflower for audio streams and iac or from/to max msp for midi...

      I haven't looked at doing this for quite a while so I may be wrong, but I don't think max/msp can be a rewire slave, only master which means it won't work with Pro Tools. If you can build your patch as an RTAS plugs that's probably easiest.

      IIRC the best way to handle the rewire input in Pro Tools is to set up an Aux channel (or in PT7 an instrument channel) and use Max as an insert. Then, bus that Aux to an audio channel and you should be good to go.
      Hope that helps.

      MaxMSP is capable of being both ReWire client and host on both platforms with all compatible hosts and clients, including Protools
      the rewire~ object allows for MaxMSP to act as a rewire mixer application (host), and ad_rewire in the sound driver selection menu in DSP Status allows MaxMSP to be used as a rewire client.
      More info in the MSP docs....

      Jack and Soundflower talk to all audio programs but ProTools, Dizzydesign still refuses to use common standards. Thats why this would be no option. (Its a miracle that they considered to use rewire, as they usually seem to believe ProTools is and should be the only program anybody would ever use...)
