Forces Fx rescan here
Sorry: Wrong version (32-64)

Meo-Ada Mespotine · 05-10-2020, 12:33 AM

The API-docs for GetSetProjectInfo -> RENDER_ADDTOPROJ miss the information for &2 for the "Do not render files that are likely silent"-checkbox.

Edit:
As well as RENDER_SETTINGS is missing &256, "Stretch markers/transient guides"-checkbox and &1024, "Take markers"-checkbox.

Also missing in RENDER_SETTINGS: 128 - "Selected tracks via master",

dupont · 05-10-2020, 02:02 AM

nice one, glad to see the stuck note issue got some attention.
Will test and see if it solved the issue.

+ MIDI: add option to display notation text in piano roll [t=234286]

This new function doesn't seem to work. Is there something wrong with my settings?

amagalma · 05-10-2020, 03:23 AM

Devs, I would like to say a big thank you!!!

ARA seems to be perfect now!! No matter what item edits, undo actions etc I've tried, they didn't result to lost melodyne edits! Well done!

There is one last case where edits can get lost though: delete the melodyne track and then undo.

If it is possible to fix this without breaking anything else, it would be great! If it is not, then I personally am really happy with things as they are now. I'll have just to be cautious of not accidentally deleting the melodyne track.

Can you show the notation view?

+ JSFX: add midi_note_sanitizer

is it for stuck notes issue use ? If it is how to use it, what should be the sliders settings ?

Meo-Ada Mespotine · 05-10-2020, 10:48 AM

Another bug I found:

when using the following line:

Code:

State=3 -- check both checkboxes for silent-render and add-project
C = reaper.GetSetProjectInfo(0, "RENDER_ADDTOPROJ", State, true)

only "Do not render files that are likely silent"-checkbox will be checked, not "Add rendered items to new tracks in project"-checkbox.

While, when using State=1 or State=2, the checkboxes behave correctly.

When getting the state of both of these checkboxes checked,

Code:

A = reaper.GetSetProjectInfo(0, "RENDER_ADDTOPROJ", 0, false)

the function returns the correct value 3.

The-Zeronaut · 05-10-2020, 11:12 AM

I cant express with words how happy I am to finally be able to add images to the render files.

+ Metadata: support embedding ID3 tags in MP3, including chapter tags and album image

Nostrap · 05-10-2020, 07:55 PM

This update somewhat breaks a workflow I was using before. If adding an empty take to an item using reaper.AddTakeToMediaItem, it no longer displays the item as an item with an empty take and instead displays it as an empty item. I've attached images to show the difference before and after the update.

The problem with this is that I can no longer see the take name, which I am using for rendering with $item and also it no longers show the grouping icon. When I open up my old projects, instead of seeing the names of all my takes it will just be "Empty Item". Would it be possible to have the old behavior back? Even if I change my workflow now, all my old projects will still no longer display properly for me.

To be clear, you are adding an empty take to an empty item?

Yes, I know it might sound silly. But basically, I'm creating empty items on my folder tracks and using them almost like regions to render the contents of the folder. I have to add a take to the item or else it won't render, but I don't need any content because I am just rendering the folder. It ends up being super useful for my work actually.

Can see how it works here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OM-qIXPOz4

schwa · 05-10-2020, 08:17 PM

OK. Enabling the grouping button on empty items in general is no problem. We can also have the take name display on the item if there is only one take, it is empty, it has a name, and the item notes have not been edited.

Nostrap · 05-10-2020, 08:20 PM

That would be incredible. Thank you so much!

musicbynumbers · 05-11-2020, 02:23 PM

Glad to hear that's being added

(hope we see proper folders at some point though)

Nostrap. I do something similar but I use midi items in place of empty items as they work straight away as being able to be rendered as selected items and can use wildcards to inherit the item name.

It would be great if there also would be a configuration option with this functionality: allow for a normal undo history but don't quote for saving when closing Reaper. This is important for "embedded" (live) use as undo of course is helpful for the configuration.

Hi, the linked bug report is flagged as (FIXED) and indeed, the main issue with WAV file tempo matching is fixed, thanks. But in case it got overlooked, the related REX import issue reported in the same thread (posts #3 and #7) still persists. It's not that important (when it happens, it's easy to spot and fix) but it is bugly. There's another micro-project attached demonstrating the issue. Cheers!

I'm having trouble reproducing this. What preferences do you have set inPreferences/Media/Video-Import-Misc, the bottom 4 dropdowns?

Import files as: Always prompt
Slice tails: Chop all slice tails
When importing media: Ignore embedded tempo information
When filename suggests bpm: Ignore tempo suggested by filename

(Maddeningly, it doesn't happen every time. When I struggle to reproduce this, I exit Reaper and try again importing a loop, and repeat this until it fails. Usually by the um, tenth time, I can get it to fail, and it will then keep on failing for that session. Sorry I know you're busy!)

dangguidan · 05-13-2020, 08:02 PM

Upgrade to six point one zero Strange phenomenon in the future: sometimes when playing, the Play pointer will have a little delay relative to the sound, which is the same in the main window and MIDI editor.
Has this happened to anyone else?
