What's your most dangerous macro?

[Rec]

Mine so far only crops an item to time selection and puts a new file in that spot. Working on something more deadly.

Once, I had a macro (ctrl + Alt + S) that enabled the cursor to run wildly through my house with scissors. Eventually, I decided to delete that macro. It was just too dangerous.

My most dangerous Macro is a Macro that makes Macros
If you don't catch it in time it goes inverse negative loopback and can turn existence inside out

My most dangerous macro can play faster than John Petrucci.

I have a simple standard one for (midi) recording:
I define the loop/time selection, select a track then hit a pad on my controller which triggers this custom action:

1. Takes me to the start of that loop
2. Deactivates record arm on all tracks but arms the selected track
3. Activates the input monitor on the selected track
4 Pauses, then goes into record.

If I like the take/s I hit 'R' to stop and save media.
If I don't like any of it then I hit 'T' (for 'Trainwreck' heh heh!) which stops and deletes the media.

Nice idea.

I've got a macro that crosses the streams!

ya that one's nice, i think i might do something similar, minus the loop and the pause. and then a modifier for doing doing the same but without deactivating AR on other tracks.

I have one question though, what sucks about macros for the loop button is that loop button works as on/off switch. so you can't click an item, then bind a key to time select it and loop it, and then play it. which i like.

you can almost do all that, except if play loops button is activcated, this will deactivate it, if it is not activated it will activate it. are the arm records this way? or is the on and off a separate command?

it's too bad about the loop button too, because that would be cool.

You're talking about the repeat function on the transport bar?
Get SWS extensions, it includes the actions

SWS: Set transport repeat state
SWS: Unset transport repeat state

The first one enables, the second one disables 'repeat'
These are some strange names for sure :/ but well.


Funny thing, 'Set transport...' appears twice in my list?

nice, iu do have SWS selections, sweet, this is goign to be good.

I might even make a "create time selection around selected items, activate repeat mode, disarm record on all tracks, arm record on select track, record from start of loop"

that could be pretty slick, and you could do another one like that, except have it switch to auto punch in and out, oh and play from previous marker? i'll bet you could.

i'm gonna look for that and experiment with it.
