I am a mac user trying to get MaxMsp to output audio to reaper via rewire. Problem is, max refuses to show up under ReWire plugins when I select "Insert Virtual Instrument on New Track."

I have tried to "Scan for new plugins" to no avail. I have also tried setting max "Audio status" to "ad_rewire" both before and after launching Reaper.

Mainly what I'm asking is, how does one "Create a channel in the host application to accept input from MaxMSP" in Reaper?

There doesn't seem to be much out there for troubleshooting this issue. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I review the max forum here: https://docs.cycling74.com/max5/vignettes/core/rewire.html

This won't exactly answer your question but either way...

Rewire can seem to be quite buggy but there is a way to work around it depending on what you want to do. What I've often been doing is just making an aggregate on my Mac which includes Soundflower 64ch and whatever soundcard I'm using. I then put Max with soundflower as an output and then in Reaper I put the input/output to the aggregate.

I've had Rewire sometimes work and then sometimes crash so for most of my projects I just use soundflower and it works fine really. In a way it makes MaxMSP become a hardware type module within your DAW.
