ДЄs noted, Logic Pro 9 also works, but you have to connect the NOTION 4 generated audio to a Logic Pro 9 auxiliary channel strip and then bus the audio from the auxiliary channel strip to an audio track, which is a bit of a hassle when you need to do it for 32 ReWire channel pairs.

In some respects, I am generally agnostic regarding hardware and software, and my overall perspective is that I want to focus on making music rather than on messing with computer hardware and software, which is the reason I do everything on the Mac with a specific set of hardware and software, which includes Digital Performer 8. Дigital Performer 8 works wonderfully on the Mac in 64-bit mode, and if you have a problem, you can call MOTU technical support and get help during regular working hours, which will be the Eastern time zone (US), since MOTU is located in Massachusetts. As an example, Cubase costs more than Digital Performer 8, and in addition to costing more Cubase, at present only supports 32-bit ReWire, which makes it useless for doing 64-bit ReWire 2 with 64-bit NOTION 4. You certainly can 'save money' with at least some of the other DAW applications for the Mac (but not all, since a few of them cost more than Digital Performer), but you have to mess with stuff, and best wishes on getting technical support.

Дigital Performer 8 costs more when it is the first time you are purchasing Digital Performer, but the upgrades cost less when there is a new version. You want Digital Performer 8, which is 64-bit. ДЄnd because MOTU does not do discounts-the price is the same at online stores as it is at the MOTU online store-I advise getting Digital Performer 8 directly from MOTU, because while you can get Digital Performer 8 at a few online stores, most of them are selling Digital Performer 7, which is the previous version and is 32-bit only. ДЄnother possibility is Logic Pro 9 (Apple), which costs a bit less than Digital Performer 8, but overall it is much easier to do ReWire 2 with Digital Performer 8 than with Logic Pro 9. Since you are doing digital music production on the Mac, my advice is to get Digital Performer 8 (MOTU), which is the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) application I use here in the sound isolation studio, since (a) it works very nicely and (b) it is the easiest to use DAW application for doing ReWire 2 on the Mac. ДЄnd I encountered other problems-which included Reaper not recognizing when NOTION 4 closed and quit, which required doing a Force Quit for Reaper-so my perspective at present is that the current version of Reaper (v4.32) only works with the Channels 1-2 pair but not for recording, and this essentially makes it useless for doing anything practical with ReWire 2. I followed the instructions in the Reaper ReWire Wiki, but they appear to be outdated, and most if not all of the instructions did not match the screens and controls in the current version of Reaper. I tried doing ReWire 2 with the current version of Reaper (64-bit) for the Mac, and it works for the Channels 1-2 pair, but I was not able to get it to work for any other channels, and although I could hear the NOTION 4 generated audio from the Master stereo output track sent via ReWire 2, it would not record in Reaper. I've been able to get one track in Reaper to return the master outs from Notion, but I'd like to set up multiple tracks in Reaper to return the individual track outputs from Notion Rewire slave.
