Useful script for Reason users that rewire with another DAW.
I got sick of having to manually load Cubase, Reason and my Echo AudioFire console everytime I wanted to work in my studio,
so I made this automated script to do it for me. Here's a little tutorial on how to set it up.
1. Start Windows Notepad.
2. Paste this template into it:
set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
set objFile = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.Exec("C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Cubase Studio 4\Cubase Studio 4.exe")
WScript.Sleep(12000)
objFile.Open("C:\Program Files\Propellerhead\Reason\Reason.lnk")
WScript.Sleep(4000)
objShell.Exec("C:\Program Files\Echo Digital Audio\AudioFire\AudioFire Console.exe")
3. Change all paths to point to the correct directory and program.
(Note: Reason is a little different, it doesn't allow to be launched by a script, so a shortcut has to be created.)
If you do not have a third program, just remove the last two lines of the script.
4. Create a shortcut to your Reason executable in your Reason directory, name the link "Reason".
5. Change the WScript.Sleep(12000) parameter to as long as your DAW takes to load, in milliseconds, for me it takes 12 seconds as you can see.
6. Save it as a *.vbs file somewhere safe.
7. Create a shortcut to the script on your desktop, and give it a nice icon. And you're done!
I hope it works well for you.
