Default Extension commands plugin, now with Take Mixer (still Beta)

This has all the previous things, plus the new Take Mixer, I hope it's pretty self-explanatory :

Updated, now Take Mixer with themed faders.

https://stash.reaper.fm/v/1421/reaper...s_commands.dll

ps. And for Cablebob, "Toggle selected tracks visible in mixer", let me know if it works like it should.

Seems it's probably possible to get the themed faders working for the take mixer, nice!

Don't confuse items and takes of Reaper. The take mixer only works with one selected item (at the moment) which has several takes in it. But if you are already doing it like that and it doesn't work, can you please be more spesific how it doesn't work etc?

I was expecting if a track has 5 takes in it I could select all 5 and would have 5 volumes , 5 pans . Or I would select the track with the 5 takes and it would show all volumes and pans. Is that not the intention. please explain if not so I can set it up correctly.

Xenakios - slightly OT, but can you integrate ReaBin directly into reaper via this new reaper plugin scheme?

No, not the old code, everything has to be rewritten. And I am just beginning to understand all the necessary Windows programming things...

New DLL :

https://stash.reaper.fm/1420/reaper_x...s_commands.dll

-Take Mixer now uses Reaper themed faders. They may be a bit "bulky" looking with some themes but are easier to grab and drag, IMHO, than the Windows standard trackbars.

-"Scale item positions by static percentage" dialog now has a slider and on-the-fly project view update. I will probably update most other dialogs to use a similar system too.

Just so you know, ReaBIN is now an icon in my desktop, near reaper. Its only a double click away for me. And its really quite useful! So please somehow integrate it into reaper!

Ok, great you've found some use for the poor orphaned thing!

Please understand it was never "officially" let out of beta phase, and may contain some surprising bugs or wrong behavior which I am very unlikely to start fixing anymore. If there's some absolutely "killer" bug in it, I might do one more release, but no more new features...

X ... you are my hero. GREAT JOB!

Very impressive.

Is there a way to get more pan resolution? I notice that panning hard L/R doesn't go full left or right. Not to complain, I love this thing.

Thanks.

...just a short one, the links for download didn't work as I tried right now - if I'm not too tired on a sunday morning and it's about the commands here, use

https://stash.reaper.fm/v/1421/reaper...s_commands.dll

otherwise, ignore this (hicks;-))

Keeping track of what I've linked to where is too difficult... Ok, so now the DL link in the opening post for this thread is updated with the latest release. Which is this, as posted above :

https://stash.reaper.fm/v/1421/reaper...s_commands.dll

No. It just uses what's already in Reaper for setting the take volume and panning. (That is, it's a static setting only.)

X,

Just got around to checking out your extensions dll. This is really cool, you've been very busy.

Is there any documentation for this stuff or should I just rummage around in the forum to find the info?

Thanks again, your hard work is appreciated.

Didn't know Take Mixer only worked on Imploded Take Tracks.

I doesn't work on just free positioned tracks without being takes?

Also, is there a contextual menu that opens Take Mixer?

This is great by the way, I see Lawrence's problem with Panning. some themes don't move the pan fader much.

Hey Larry,

The Takes Mixer only works on single items at the moment (whatever takes are present in the item).

Here is a DLL with a debug button in the Take Mixer dialog. Use with an item with at least two takes, pan the takes hard left and right and use the debug button. Then ctrl+c to copy the message to clipboard so you can paste here on the forum so I can see where the slider positions are :

edit : oops, bad bad bad bug in the dll, will re-upload soon!

edit2: Now fixed :

https://stash.reaper.fm/1432/reaper_x...s_commands.dll

edit3: The symptom of the broken DLL was that Reaper could no longer import media files correctly. Experimental code that was not completely disabled in the broken DLL...

Xenakios...

Is there a way to have an extension to help control pan laws at all? Whether similar to your GREAT new take mixer or even a simple action to change pan laws quicker?

Yes. I saw your feature request...I can't hook too well from the extension plugin code to every action happening in Reaper so this could not be made automatic...But it is possible to access the track and take pan laws from the extension code. So shortcuts for things like "Set pan law of selected tracks to 0.0dB" or "Set pan law of selected tracks based on items" etc would be possible.
