Default Script: Meter Bridge

Edit: Abandoned.

Hi,

I've been working on a meter bridge script and am posting the first pre release.



It is showing peaks for all tracks that are visible in MCP. There is some customisation inside the script file, you can define dimensions of each element or a color tracks of which will be considered separators.

Try it out and post your FRs, bugs, comments and any ideas please.

This is really handy!
Would it be possible to put it in a docker somehow?

Very nice indeed!!

Thanks for doing this bFooz!! Love what you're doing! Love the way it selects tracks when you click on the VU meter.

A few things (which I'm sure are already on your list):

1) Red Clipping indicators
2) When sizing to a small hight, VU no longer shows activity
3) When I touch the UI (not the VU meters and not the title bar or the edges - just the black background) there is a script error:
Quote:
...plication Support/REAPER/Scripts/bFooz__Meter Bridge.lua:149: bad argument #1 to
'SetOnlyTrackSelected' (MediaTrack expected)
This will be very handy if the small hight issue could be resolved.

Not sure if this is relevant, but I'm on Mac.

Hi again,

Actually, I was able to get close to a small dock-able size using these settings (thanks so much for your clear user settings):

Quote:
--sum of these == g.windowH----------
g.padTop = 5 --padding top
g.trackH = 30 --initial track H
g.padBot = 5 --padding bot

Thx for sharing !


For the moment it is 'simple' (no scale, no Loudness...) (though simplicity can be whatvis interesting), compared the featured-rich Heda's Mixer,


so how do you plan to make it evolves ?




Note that separator tracks are usually made by color but by Track Layout Name (just Separator).

Hi, I'm glad you like this script. But unfortunately I am not currently in a situation to develop this further. I posted this script more than a year ago and since then I have advanced with it by nothing.

This version is very slow since the track peak information are gathered via the api itself. For it to become faster, there would probably need to be a separate jsfx plugin on each track. Also GUI drawing can be faster.

As for plans this had, it was intended to be simple, graphically pleasing, no unnecessary lines, with aim towards great UX, to take rather small area on screen. ( But I believe there is a 0dB line disabled somewhere in the code. )

You just rightclick the top of the window and there is "Dock window". The script does remember its last docker. (I'm on win, don't know how it is on mac)

hmm.. looks like this doesn't work on a mac. A right click brings up a menu saying "test".

I really like the reduced look of this meter bridge and the fact that it is so small.
The Heda mixer is way too much for me. It is of course awesome work though!
