Here's How to setup either the full version of Reason or Reason Adapted for Pro Tools LE:
1) Launch a Pro Tools session.
2) Launch the Reason application. (See below***)
3) For Pro Tools LE, create either a mono or a stereo aux. input track. (File Menu > New Track). For TDM systems, create either a mono or stereo audio track. (File Menu > New Track). Make sure the volume is up on either the aux or audio track.
4) Instantiate the Reason RTAS plug-in insert on an aux or audio track in Pro Tools (TDM systems must use and audio track).
5) When the ReWire window opens, select the proper Rewire channel from Reason that you want routed to that audio track - For a stereo track choose: Mix L - Mix R. Or for a mono track choose: Mix L or Mix R.
6) Create a MIDI track. (File Menu > New Track).
7) Set the output of the MIDI track to the Reason sound module you will be using. You MUST create the MIDI track after you have already instantiated the Reason plug-in on a track; otherwise, there will not be any Reason selections for the output of your MIDI track.
8) Press the record enable button on the MIDI track.
9) Play the keyboard, you should get a signal into both the MIDI and audio/aux. tracks and hear Reason play.

Troubleshooting if you don't hear Reason play:
1) If you get signals into both the MIDI and audio/aux. tracks, but you don't hear anything, try setting the input of the MIDI and audio/aux. tracks to "No Input".
2) Try a different octave on the keyboard, as drum sounds may only use specific notes on the keyboard.
3) Make sure you have an instrument loaded into the sound module in Reason.

Please note: Only the first 2 ReWire channels can be used on a stereo track. For information on how to route Reasons mono outputs to a stereo track in Pro Tools, please see Answerbase #27105.

How can I bring 2 mono outputs from Reason via Rewire into a Stereo Audio track in Pro Tools using a multi-mono plug-in?

1. Create a Stereo Audio track (TDM) or Aux track (LE) in Pro Tools
2. Instantiate the multi-mono Reason Rewire plug-in on the insert of that track.
3. In the plug-in window in the upper right corner, click on the 'link' button to disable linking (it looks like 2 overlapping circles - when active they're orange on a white background, black on grey when disabled.).
4. Click on the box to the left of the link button - this will now allow you to select the Left or Right side of the stereo track and assign a Rewire input to it using the drop down box next to 'Reason' in the main portion of the Rewire plug-in window.
The propellerheads site has some info but you need a login to see it...
