I can't build it anymore because it was updated to a newer Visual Studio version. I looked at installing the new Community Edition thing but I just don't have the space. Is it possible to support older versions like VS2013 too, or if you can't maintain old version files maybe post some instruction on how to compile with an older software?

Until Tim chimes in...
The solution file is still vs12 (Visual Studio 2013) and I can build without problems using VS 2013 Express (just tried).
So your issue must be somewhere else I'd guess. (I also have VS 2015 Community installed though, not sure if that makes a difference).

Any reason why just using loop points isn't enough?

Imagine I have a mix with 50-60 .wav items in it

Imagine I would like to listen quickly to a certain section (say 2 seconds section) of an item (e.g. a sentece of the chorus singer) because it seems a bit detuned

Case a: I have the Preview action: 1. I select the section of the item and item(item right drag for me), 2. press a key and only that item SECTION gets loop played through the track and master bus

Case b I don't have the action: 1. I have to loop-select the section by dragging above in the timeline area, 2. solo the track, 3. put the cursor at the beginning of the loop, 4. hit play, 5. revert the solo and loop after the fact

Ok, that clears it up.
However, you laid out the steps very well yourself so...why didn't you try the Cycle Actions?

Tell me if there's anything missing but, as far as I can tell the attached CA does the job. (you can of course further customize it, like stopping the Repeat loop function. I didn't know if you wanted that or not, so as it is now it's enabled)

Maybe you're not familiar with the Cycle Actions? If not, I really recommend you dive in as this is really accessible to total novices (as I am) and is the poor man's scripting device. You can already do a lot with this alone.

To import, go to the Cycle Action Editor (you'll need SWS extensions) and click the Import button.
It will then show up in the Action List, then just assign a shortcut key.

Cheers,

After a while (a few years, I guess) since last trying, I decided to look at building the SWS plugin to see if I could clean up at least some of my own ancient stuff. No luck. The plugin is still a nightmare to build. I had to for example install PHP on the system before the build could even be started. Why isn't the build dependency on PHP mentioned in :

https://github.com/reaper-oss/sws/wi...-SWS-Extension ?

Anyway, even after installing PHP, I still couldn't get it built, it failed with vs12_tag64.lib related linker errors. (Using VS2017 here.)

Sorry if this just sounds like angry complaining.

Oh? How is it not exactly what you wanted? From your description, the CA does what you asked:

(I realise now you had asked for it to loop, so it does that already too)


Anyway, that's the beauty of Reaper, if the feature doesn't already exist, there's almost always a way to create it or come really close. Try doing that with another DAW! ;-)

One: I have to learn to program scripts. I don't like to do it, I'm a musician
Two: as I understand this solution could spoil existing setup: for example if another track is soloed this script will have to unsolo all and solo only the track of the item, so in the end I'll finish with a different "solo setup". Same if I have another loop setup this will reset it (since it will create a new loop). I would like to play the item without touching SOLOs settings and Loop

Or maybe I understood wrong then I'm back to point One stronger than before

That's the beauty of C++: if a program do not exist you can make it. Sorry I couldn't resist the joke , yes I like the flexibility of Reaper, but I believe it should grant a base function set (not to be programmed) on par with main competitors

Thank you anyway, I'll try to do something for the script and maybe I will succeed!

Believe me, I'm ONLY a musician (and a guitarist!) so you really misunderstood me when in a previous post I said:
Quote:

I think reading the word 'script' just made alarms go off in your head!

I meant to say that it in fact is NOT scripting at all!! But the end result can resemble it as it is quite powerful but in actual fact, really simple to use.
All it is, is assembling a succession of Actions to be carried out one after another. So all I did was search the Action List with simple keywords that probably would result in the actions you/I was looking for.

Have a look, this is the 'code' for the Cycle Action:


I think reading the description, you get the sense of what it's meant to accomplish. I just followed all the steps you layed out in your explanation so roughly from top to bottom:
- set loop points to the selection
- move cursor to start of selection
- Solo ONLY the selected track
- Play

----Step---- Is to separate the Toggle action of pressing the key. So, above this step is what happens when you press the key the first time. And when your finished auditioning your item selection and you press the key again, is what happens after the 'Step' so this below...

- Stop
- Remove loop points (step 1)
- Remove loop points (step 2)
- Unsolo

As for the Mute states, this action will not affect it at all and for the loop selection you might have had and didn't want to lose, I just added another action to save and restore the state of the loop selection so that's resolved as well...anything else?

I've attached the new CA, give it a try. I really think (and hope) I nailed it this time.

BTW, what other DAWs are you talking about that do this natively? Just curious. My guess is you'll find that actually Reaper is now the only one that does...since today :-)

@Chumbo

Thanks!!! I'm going to test it immediately. Really helpful


You know, I'm always willing Reaper to embed native behaviors because in this way it would attract many more users, while now on various forums when you read about comparisons Reaper seems to have quite an entry barrier due to the fact that you can do everything but not one click away..

anyway thanks again

You're absolutely right. It definitely ranks pretty low as far as ease of use and intuitiveness (even though I know lots will disagree) but then again, it's not that bad once you take the dive.
No DAW is perfect and each of our priorities define the DAW we choose. Reaper is less intuitive, not as 'pretty', and as you pointed out, it's basic tool set is not always implemented in the best way.
But Reaper shines high and above any another DAW as far as it's infinite feature set, customizability, stability and power with regards to speed and the amount of tracks & plugins it can handle.
Many have come to Reaper because their previous DAW was constantly crashing and/or choking on resources.

And that's where I put my priorities. When working in a DAW, I hate nothing more than hitting a 'wall': wanting it to do something and realising the DAW doesn't have that feature.
With Reaper, this very RARELY happens and I love that! :-)

I finally did some work again on the SWS plugin. (Nothing exciting though, actually the biggest change was to remove an obsolete and buggy action.)

I'm noticing since before and still after the newest SWS update, I can't type into the SWS resources. For example, trying to rename a track template in the track template resources, I dbl click on the name, though once I am in the name field, the keyboard has no effect, and I cannot enter any letters/changes.

Default Toolbar Mute/Solo/Arm Actions Take up to 30 Seconds?

Anyone else having issues with the toolbar mute/solo/arm toggle actions? They're completely ingrained in my workflow by now so I'm pretty reliant on them, but lately in big projects they can take up to half a minute to work, even if they're only acting on a single track.

Total showstopper. Snapshots are often intensely slow in these big projects as well. I'd hate to do without these features. Anyone else?

hey... I just went back to 4.78 reaper after trying 5 (can't afford to upgrade yet and some stability issues with certain plugin).

What I would like to know is what is the latest version of SWS I can install with it as I know the latest one is for 5.x and above only.

Many thanks, Bill

I think I figured it out anyway just scrolling thru the release notes until I found a "requires 4.75" note... that should do it

2.7.0 pre is afaik the latest SWS working with Reaper v4.78. I installed Reaper 4.78 recently portable and had the same question.
[EDIT:] if you install 2.7.1, you get an error message when opening REAPER 4.78.

Use an "empty item" instead of a MIDI item. (This has nothing to do with SWS though.)

Default SWS Resources Loosing Bookmarks

Hello

I just lost all my SWS Bookmarks for about the 5th time ( I have a lot of them ).

In the past this would happen when I had added too many bookmarks so today I thought I might be getting near the limit so removed a couple. Next I get a reaper crash and they are all gone again.

How can I retrieve them without having to start from the beginning? This is a great feature but I feel like its too much bother and that I'm chasing my tail.

A workaround would be to create a cycle action.

Try adding the action "Action: Prompt to continue..." to your custom action (multiple times, in between each of the current actions). This was you can pin down exactly where it goes wrong, which will be helpful in fixing your problem.
