Default Take Commenter - a way to mark audio files during recording (DONE!)

Hey everyone,
While I'm recording, I like to insert markers to specify mistakes or potential mistakes that might need checking once the artist has finished their take. Sometimes I want to take notes about really nice phrases in vocal takes. You get the idea, I'm sure.
I can insert markers, but what happens when I record the next take? Those markers refer to a different take and can get confused easily.

I was thinking about a potential way to solve this. The idea is a 'take commenter panel', a floating window with user-defined buttons that you press while recording to insert markers. Then once record has stopped, those project markers are written as markers into all of the audio files that were just recorded.


================================================== ==========================================

UPDATE: IT'S ALIVE!! Download here: TakeCommenter.lua

(note: newest code automaticaly removes all markers created during record mode.)


UPDATE: Thanks to Eugen2777's GUI code I've put together the interface for this script. It is just an empty shell at the moment and needs someone to write the guts and give it life.
UPDATE: Thanks to spk77, the script now writes markers to project.
UPDATE: HeDa has contributed code that allows the script to work during play/rec and stop modes.
UPDATE: HeDa has contributed code to automatically remove markers created (only) in record mode.
UPDATE: The window is now a 3x3 array of buttons instead of 4x3. (You can change this with a little work.)
UPDATE: HeDa has contributed code to auto-toggle show media cues in items if it's not already enabled.

Possible future idea:
-Write markers to source WAV files' Cue chunk - Eugen has code, but wants to make sure it's stable (i.e. safe).

Here's a toolbar icon I made:


NOTE: For marker writing during record mode, you must go to Project Settings->Media and ensure Write BWF ('bext') chunk is enabled and "Do not include markers or regions" is changed to something that includes markers.



P.S. The REAPER community f*&king rocks.

I've asked about this a long time ago,and got general answers like use empty items and bla bla bla.
I'm doing exactly the same thing with vocals,drums etc.Heda implemented track notes in Track Inspector,which is the closes thing to this,maybe an seperate script just for that and modified to work with takes also

So there is a need for it, then, and I'm not the only one.

Can markers be written to a take at specific times? This would be a far safer option than writing to the files themselves.

Try the "Item Marker Tool" in my sig, Dax (beta 17, NOT beta18).

It might do what you're after -the markers get associated with the take and track it around through moves, etc. It doesn't like variable-rate stretch markers though -it needs a rewrite.

Ideally those edit-markers could be view per-track
and per project, and in their manager, when clicked,
it would lead us to that spot

Maybe a marker tag that binds to project, track, item or take.

I'd love native item or take markers.

Ideally they'd sit within the media item rectangle, and a mouseover tooltip would show the name if you were too zoomed out to read it directly. Take markers would stick to the position of the source audio, so any move, playrate change, stretch-marker warping, source-dragging, etc would still have the marker attached to the same source sample position, whatever you did to the item or take.

Actions to move to next/prev take marker, create a project marker at take marker position, snap to marker position, etc would be useful too.

I wrote the item marker script to give myself source-marking functionality for a couple of tasks I do with REAPER, but also to try and demonstrate how useful they'd be. I should knuckle down and write a proper FR for them.




The script is fine, but native markers attached to the media item only would be much better...

we almost have item markers. really all we need is to have a variant of stretch markers that, obviously, don't stretch anything but do carry a name and might be a different color and sit in a different place within the item, maybe top or bottom. i sort of can't believe this hasn't been picked up on until now. hopefully this conversation might spark some action.

Not quite, unfortunately, it's item-related, not take-related and the whole point was to be able to mark differences/problems in different takes of the same part.

My script is take-anchored, not item-anchored, Dax.

It doesn't show which take it's attached to though, there is a modifier in the script gfx to highlight the pairing, but it's limited by what's available in REAPER.

Or did you mean your requirement is item-based?


You moved then?

Ahh okay, cool. Your example only showed one take.
Are the visible markers removed and replaced instantaneously when switching takes?
When I get back, I'll take some screen shots of the kind of thing I'm talking about.

Looks nice.

There's also sws project/track/item notes
and the option for takeFx notepad.

...


Not as it stands, it doesn't take any heed of take visibility, it just tracks the position of the takels source within the timeline...

I could possibly grey out markers for non visible takes?



Edit: it's actually source-audio anchored, if you move the audio within the take or warp it, the associated markers will track their audio points.

Something like this, Dax?





Three takes in one item, item markers are locked to various of these three. Locked markers for non-active takes in an item are greyed-out.

It's not ideal, it needs to be native. Think of it as a tool to lock a few markers to takes to mark audio/ a workaround/ a demo for take or item markers (how to do and not to do it) The code is hideous (it took me over an hour to work out what I originally did) and seriously needs to be rewritten in Lua if Justin can't or is disinclined to help us with item markers.

Most of clunkiness and complication here is making project markers pretend to be item markers, and various methods of locking/unkocking them. With proper native item markers (take markers/source audio markers) you would just select the active take of an item and add the damn thing at the cursor, maybe selecting what it locks to (item/take/source/beat position) in its edit dialogue when you name it. A few actions to jump between them and place project markers at item markers/vice versa and they'll be immediately useful. You won't worry about confusing them with project markers because they won't be on the ruler with them, they'll be on the media items themselves.

Mouseover info for the title and the source position/BWF position and you're sorted. Time for an FR?

Link to beta17a01 in the Stash.

Yes, I think it would normally be time for a feature request, but I do worry that we/I will spend lots of time on it to absolutely no avail. The FR system seems mostly ignored these days.

This is (half of) what I originally had in mind, using the existing ability to read markers from audio files:


The other half is a floating window with a user-definable grid of buttons with text of the user's choosing. You click one of the buttons (with labels like Good, Great, Okay, Bad, Flat, Sharp, Late, Early, etc) and a marker of that name is inserted at that play-cursor point in all takes that are being recorded.

Note: We would also need a theme setting to move marker text higher (if that doesn't already exist).

you can actually do it natively

right click on the rec arm button of any track

-> track recroding settings
-> check set recording format and set to wave
-> check write BWF and choose markers only

Thanks. it's good. It would also be good to export current markers added after recording, into the selected take. How could it be possible? Because it is not always possible to add markers when recording. You can add them after it, reviewing the takes.

Two options here:
1) Wait for REAPER to implement an action to write markers to audio files (or even just take metadata), the reverse of 40692 (which would be Item: export project markers as take media cues)
2) Use part of the code that Eugen2777 wrote for Simple Sample Editor to write to the Cue Chunk of WAV as per this: http://www.blitter.com/~russtopia/MI.../tech/wave.htm

Regarding #2, I PM'd Eugen2777 2 days ago asking about this. Hopefully we hear back.


I guess the script could detect if recording is active and if not, it would write the marker instantly, otherwise it uses the method Reno found?


I have some ideas on how the guts of the Take Commenter script would work:

Method A)
During recording mode, button is pressed by user,
Marker with the name of the button is inserted (and REAPER automatically writes them to the audio files as cue markers)
When recording finishes, all project markers inserted by the Take Commenter are removed

Method B)
At any time, button is pressed by user,
Check if recording
if no, write marker to selected item's active take at play cursor position
else store in memory: play cursor time, button name (and armed track(s) number to detect most recently recorded audio?)
Wait until recording stops
Write cue marker at stored play cursor time to takes that were just recorded

Method B could have problems if rec-arm is toggled during record, maybe?


Incidentally, I have created the GUI for this script using Eugen2777's Simple GUI creator. (This guy is genius, BTW)


(code in next post, forum char limit reached)

Woo hoo! Thanks spk77!! That's freaking excellent.
A solid step towards a finished solution.
(Can you tell I'm very excited? )

P.S. I think it's hilarious you refer to it simply as a 'mod'. You're too modest.

P.P.S. I've updated my script with your changes and crediting you.

Hopefully Cockos will implement item/take markers at some point.

Great to hear!

We just need to get it to write/transfer those markers into the takes.
I think this should be possible using Eugen2777's Sample Editor script because it can already read/write to external audio files (while they are on-line!) so editing the Cue chunk shouldn't be too hard, I imagine.

Unfortunately, I know nothing about how to go about that.

Very nice.. I could integrate this as a plugin for Track Inspector like a new panel.

this change adds the marker at play position when playing or recording and at cursor position when stopped.
Code:
add_marker_to_play_pos =  function(name, r,g,b)
                            local play_state = reaper.GetPlayState()
                            --if play_state == 0 or play_state&2 == 2 then return end
                            local floor = math.floor
                            r = floor(r*255+0.5)
                            g = floor(g*255+0.5)
                            b = floor(b*255+0.5)                            
                            local int_col=reaper.ColorToNative(r, g, b)|0x1000000
                            reaper.Undo_BeginBlock()
                            if play_state == 0 or play_state&2 == 2 then position=reaper.GetCursorPosition() else position=reaper.GetPlayPosition() end
                            reaper.AddProjectMarker2(0, false, position, 0, name, -1, int_col)
                            reaper.Undo_EndBlock("Live Take Commenter - add marker", -1)
                          end

Awesome! I'll update it now.

Is there a way that keys can be passed through when this window is open?
Currently it hijacks the keyboard which is exactly what you DON'T want when you're recording.

My brain bows humbly to your big,juicy,Overlord brains.

Yep, thanks for reminding me to add that to the post.
It's written in LUA so extension is .LUA

No worries! Remember, if there's a script you use a lot, you can make a small donation to the scripter. These guys put a lot of effort in.
(Don't give anything to me, I'm more of a director for this script, pulling in all the major actors. )

Haha, you mean coming up with difficult ideas then asking someone to make them?

Its item-wav


=============================================
=============================================
Its cue in wav-file



The task correctly calculate the position and the other.

In general, everything is possible. But the probability of errors.
I do not know whether the game is worth the candle.
============
In addition, we must also add the Associated Data List Chunk(List) and Label Chunk(labl).
This complicates the task.
However, if the names are known in advance, it is not so important.

It's not completely straightforward with cue and list chunks, as regions as well as markers can be stored, and there is more than one method of doing this.

I think it then gets more complicated with 64-bit wavs. Justin indicated there were standards incompatibilities or ambiguities with cue markers in RF64 wav files, although I'm not sure about Sony wave64 wavs.
