Is there any way to update/redraw the midi editor?

$
0
0
I made a script that renames CCs, but to see the changes I have to close and reopen the Midi Editor.

Is there a better way to update/redraw? None of the Update functions work (Timeline, Arrange, Item in project, JS Window).

Thanks!

Code:

local reaper = reaper
local done = false
reaper.BR_GetMouseCursorContext()
local midi_editor, _, _, lane = reaper.BR_GetMouseCursorContext_MIDI()
if not midi_editor then midi_editor = reaper.MIDIEditor_GetActive() end
if not midi_editor then return reaper.defer(function() end) end

local take = reaper.MIDIEditor_GetTake( midi_editor )
local track = reaper.GetMediaItemTake_Track( take )

if lane == -1 then
  local piano = reaper.JS_Window_FindChildByID( midi_editor, 1003 )
  local count, list = reaper.JS_Window_ListAllChild( piano )
  local cc = {}
  for address in string.gmatch(list, "%w+") do
    local combo = reaper.JS_Window_HandleFromAddress( address )
    local name = string.match(reaper.JS_Window_GetTitle( combo ), "%d%d%d?")
    if name then cc[#cc+1] = name end
  end
  local caption = ""
  local empty = " "
  for i = #cc, 1, -1 do
    caption = caption .. "CC" .. cc[i] .. " new name:,"
    empty = empty .. ", "
  end
  local ok, retvals = reaper.GetUserInputs( "Name found CCs (one empty space for no change)", #cc, caption  .. "extrawidth=68", empty )
  if not ok then return reaper.defer(function() end) end
  local i = #cc
  for name in string.gmatch(retvals, "[^,]+") do
    if not string.match(name, "^%s+$") then
      reaper.SetTrackMIDINoteNameEx( 0, track, 128 + cc[i], -1, name )
      done = true
    end
    i = i -1
  end
elseif lane < 128 then
  local ok, name = reaper.GetUserInputs( "Set name for CC" .. lane, 1, "CC" .. lane .. " new name:", "" )
  if not ok then return reaper.defer(function() end) end
  if (not string.match(name, "^%s+$") or name ~= "") then
    reaper.SetTrackMIDINoteNameEx( 0, track, 128 + lane, -1, name )
    done = true
  end
end

if done then
  reaper.JS_Window_Destroy( midi_editor )
  reaper.Main_OnCommand(40153, 0) -- Item: Open in built-in MIDI editor (set default behavior in preferences)
end


I bet Reaper can’t do this? Exact BPM from file?

So I may have posted about this before with no conclusive answers.

I’ve been using Acid Pro since 1997 and love it but it’s long in the tooth now.
Been using Reaper as a much better alternative for about 12 years.

Over this time my template was a mess of new actions and features as new things were launched.
So I reset reaper to factory settings this week and started on a “Simple Super Acid Pro template” for looping dance music and production
/
In Acid pro since back in the 90s if you had a kick loop cut exactly in an editor so it was perfect you could bring it into Acid and lock the project exactly to that kick loop ie: 120.747bpm

Acid would go to 3 decimal places in bpm and loop the main kick or bass loop so that the project was locked to this tempo. This meant that there was no real stretching or warbling on the bass/kick loop as this drives all dance music. So it was tight. All other loops then stretched and locked to this 120.747bpm

Is there a way to do this in Reaper?

I cannot find a way to like right click on a loop and get its exact tempo then lock the project tempo to this?

I am sure there must be? If so could I turn it into an action so that I can lock Reapers project tempo to any loop I wanted? Usually the kick drum?

Thanks!!

V6 HiDPI - Text size issue in rendering screen

There are some text that is to small and to big in the rendering screen in HiDPI Windows 10, se picture.

And I think the rendering screen is too small overall, it could be much bigger and much more detailed in the rendering, here it could be a lot of improvement in future Reaper versions.

One has to close and re-open the Midi Editor to see any CC name changes, whereas Note name changes are instant.

No more Cubase!

Hi, since now nearly one year I work with Reaper and I'm still very happy with it! I'd worked with Cubase for about 20 years but I'd always problems with performance and lateny. It was horrible, this software is a monster and comes in V10.0 with over 21GB for downloading... Reaper is small and fast and I don't need tons of instruments and loops. Love Reaper and thanks!

Incorrect click responses on track buttons

$

Can we please get a fix for this? The click should register for a button I actually clicked on, not for the one that jumped into view when track got maximized.

It happens all the time with gain knobs, Mute/Solo etc. It's super frustrating.

Apply Render Preset and Add To Queue

$

0
This is for my game audio pipeline. I often have mixtures of possibly hundreds of mono/stereo, item/time selection, master/track-only renders I need to do...saving seconds worth of clicks adds up over the course of development, so a solution like this would be incredible.

There are already scripts for applying render presets and rendering with one click, but it looks like there is a lack of API support for flexible render queue access.

Horible white flash whem opening midi editor

Hi guys, ive noticed that very recently, guess it appeared in 6.04 but not totally sure...
Im using the windows 10 high contrast (but it happens with a standard them as well) as my eyes are very light sensitive.
When i click on a midi item to edit it, it produces an intense white flash when opening the editor, which kills my eyes, esp at night of course. Anyone noticed it ?

Thanks!

Some VSTs not scanning

I'm getting this error message from Reaper:

"Plug-in 'Insight 2.vst3' executed invalid operation during scanning
Note: if REAPER crashes as a result of this, simply run it again and it will continue on the next plug-in"

And of course VST3 Izotope Insight does not appear in my plug-ins list. The VST2 is there.

I've been having intermittent problems with some other VST3's not scanning, i.e. REAPER will hang up forever without an error message and they won't appear.

My VST3's are all in their default location on C:, which I don't like but accept to make them work.

Has anybody seen this? Any solutions?

Pressing Strings is one of the most popular bands in the Annapolis/Baltimore Maryland area. They just released “Always Around” which was recorded at my son’s Sweetfoot Studios, using Reaper of course.

Using Ambisonic toolkit with ReaJS vst

Hi,
first sorry for my poor english,
I'm really happy to read all the threads about ambisonic. I'm a beginner for all these things and learn a lot here.

I have a noob question about ATFK and ReaJS vst version (x64).I'm using Reaper as a DAW for testing and would like to use a modular DAW with the plugins for the final project. Unfortunatly, ReaJS vst seems to be reconize by others softwares with only 2in/2out (I triyng it with Brainmodular Usine and MInihost modular).

Maybe it just my setup, but is there a way to change this ? it seems that theses ambisonic tools could just work directly in Reaper

thanks a lot for reading my awful english !

Re-Pitchers Low Latency

$
0
0
I have been trying out the ReaPitch (Cockos) as an octaver effect for my audio (in my case an electric violin) rather than using a hardware octaver. Unfortunately the latency is too high to be of practical use. I have tried out the other pitch shifters, like:
JS:Pitch Shifter 2,
JS:Pitch Down-Shifter 2,
JS: Pitch an Octave Down
AU:AUNewPitch(Apple),
AU:AUPitch(Apple)
-- either the quality of the sound is not desirable or the latency is too poor.

Has anyone had success with pitch shifters in Reaper so the sound quality is good and low latency and if so, what pitch shifter did you use and what are your computer specs?

My computer specs are: iMac 2.8 GHz 4 core, RAM 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, circa year 2010, not an SSD hard drive.

Reaper CPU load is 13%, Reaper only using 700 Mb ram, so it appears neither the CPU nor memory is being taxed. Will be trying out on my son's PC which has more memory today.

Or are we backing a dead horse here, that VST based octavers at the moment are not practical, leaving us with the hardware octavers. I have tried out some of the hardware octavers like the Line6 M5 (multi-effects pedal, octaver is one of it's effects) and it sounded good and latency was not a problem.

LYNX AES16e and Reaper6

I am a new Forum member and this is my first post. Are there Forum members who use both together? I have having difficulty. Rare;u. they work well together, like a "match made in heaven", but so often I have difficulty, with partial recognition of the LYNX signal, to essentially serious bidirectional loss of communication.

Dither question

$
0
0
If someone gave you a album to master. And it was in 24bit. he told you it has stayed in 24 bit the entire time. At the end of it all, you find out it was recorded in 24, reduced to 16 for mixing, then back to 24, for you to master. And dither was never used.

What do you do? Should I there it even when rendering to 24bit tracks? Or only when I do the 16 bit renders? I have never been in this situation before.

Reaper lags randomly when recording notes

Whenever I try to record MIDI notes in realtime, Reaper lags randomly and delays some of my notes, or cuts the duration of some of my notes. I have no idea what's going on, and don't know how to investigate this...

What does this mean in MIDI hardware settings?

I get the following "!!!N/A:Enabled" and the devices don't show up in my input drop down list.

Missing in Reaper 6

$
0

Hi everybody. I've come across a problem for me in Reaper 6.
It's that in the previous version when adding a MIDI instrument controlled by my keyboard I always had to go to the bottom right on the TCP (the one that specifies the input, NOT the one that says input all to the left), and specify where the MIDI notes were coming from. That was fine, no biggie, but now with 6 the panel where I used to do that is not there. I have made a track template in Reaper 5 and when using 6 it works when right clicking and choosing 'Insert Track Template', but it seems like a work-around to a fault to me?
Anybody else come across this?

Option to make folders act also as VCA

$
0
0
I think some requests existed but could not find them It is so important to me that I just keep coming back. I hope this ever gets som attention.

It would be awesome to have folders act as VCA (on option) by default and still handle audio sent by its children. Obviously, they would act as the VCA of their children but affecting the send levels only once (if you set them to VCA master and still pass audio, they will apply twice the reduction) and without actually changing the send level value but an internal change.

Awesome in all senses.

Thanks
