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.

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.

you can record directly in your patch with adoutput~ and sfrecord~ objects.

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.

Hi,

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

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

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

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

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.
