Using Renoise to master Reaper and enable the power of playing large audiofiles or videofiles(!!) along the song. Here are the basic instructions how to get this done.
A few things not really splendid explained:
- The bpm of the mediafile that you want to synchronize is leading no matter if Renoise is master or slaved to Reaper.
- The ReaRoute 1/2 output is automatically set in Renoise if the ReaRoute Asio driver is being selected.
- It is possible to route other tracks back into Renoise using other ReaRoute channel combinations and then use a line-in device inside Renoise and you can mute the external track from inside Renoise during mixing. Uncheck the “Send master” option of that particular track in Reaper to disable double output or echo effects.
Tools required:
- Renoise 1.5 or higher: http://www.renoise.com
- Reaper 2.030 or higher: http://www.reaper.fm
- Midi Yoke: http://www.midiox.com/myoke.htm (more information about the use of Midi Yoke)

The Sweetness … Exactly what I will need very soon. Thanx alot for this so I won’t have to find this out all on my own.

Cool, might do this because I work with long samples a lot.

I´m using EnergyXT2 as VSTi inside Renoise for this job. It´s simply and works nice.

Contrary to EnergyXT, EnergyXT2 always causes my long samples to glitch. So unfortunately, I cannot really recommend EnergyXT2.

How does Ext2 performs with video files then?

I like the Reaper setup, that will work well for my music
Does it also synchronise position for recording long audio takes into Reaper?
