sync logic X and Pro tools 11

On my mac laptop. via the IAC buss and MTC I can get pro tools and logic to sync up. This is on the same computer. It works well and no hardware is needed as I can get all the audio into my headphone jack. This makes for easy editing and such.

Check this video on the subject.

Now I can get the audio from each of software to show up on  headphone jack of my laptop when playing. I am now wondering if there is a way I can get logic to have the synth sounds dump into pro tools.  I would imagine I have to configure an aggregate I/O in the mac os audio midi setup. Looking for suggestions on that as I think I can do it without any hardware attached.

This is so I can record the logic instruments into pro tools that way all audio is in one session.

Don't people normally use rewire for this?

Maybe jackosx?

One would think so,  but PT and logic need to be rewire masters and will not rewire to each other

it was suggested I try sound flower....  anyone ever use it

installed sound flower shows up as an audio device an the pro tools aggregate I/O 64 channels. Now to see if I can get logic and transfer between the two. HMMMM 8)

edit:sound flower is free. I installed it and tested it out. If I have it in 2 channel mode. Everything is fine. If I run it in 64 channel mode, pro tools gives an error about the i/o not matching up and it needs to restart. Then it restarts and the message comes up about the I/O again and restarts again. However I did get the output of the drum machine in logic to play in sync with the drum machine plug in in pro tools and I was able to record logics audio output into pro tools. This was all without any audio I/O connected and just running from a laptop with a audio drive connected.

interesting for sure....

I just bounce in place then import the audio. Since the bounce is offline, it's quicker than a realtime bounce. The only bummer for me right now is that logic exports everything in stereo (even close mics for producer kits, etc).

That may not be a solution for your needs though.

Right on.  For what I am doing with logic need real time sync as I this would be form drummer/drum and need to listen and adjust all the parts before doing an audio dump.
