+ Media items: add support for grouping media items into container items

WOW! This seems like a big one! It doesn't seem to group across tracks though right? I've only managed to group on the same track so far and even then not sure how to expand/collapse yet

Will keep digging though!

Hmm. If this also supports the take system then I can see it being used for comping and also just alternative edits etc.



+ FX: allow JS/Channel Mapper-Downmixer to be renamed [p=2431465]
oh and thanks for this one too!

With no info I'm just diving in so some of this will probably be wrong but will post somethings I've found so far below

-Trying to group another set of items (across tracks), seems to remove the first set of items (all on the same track) from the container they were in.

-Selecting a container and then going to render "selected media items" still wants to render the separate internal items.

-duplicating take doesn't seem to work on a container yet so I guess they are not for that or hopefully not fully finished

-doesn't work across tracks (but really hoping they do at some point)

More to come...

Wow this seems promising! But I can't really think of a use besides moving items around together more easily..

Any plans to add:
- Fades
- Envelopes
- FX chains
- Item buttons/knobs (to adjust volume, mute state, lock state, notes etc..)
Basically all the usual possibilities that individual items have.

And btw, how do you "un-container" items?

I imagine, when "un-containering", for all the things that I have suggested, a popup would ask if it should be applied to all single items or if they should be restored as if they had never been in a container.

Also would be handy to rename item container.

CRASH: I tried to remove the container with the action "Item grouping: Remove items from group". Not sure if that is how I am supposed to do it. Anyway the group was successfully removed, but when I drag one of the items and afterwards click on the arrange to unselect, REAPER crashes. Occurs every time I try.

While we are at Media explorer, may I ask for fixing this odd behaviour? When it is auto-refreshing, it also scrolls somewhere and then comes back. And if the file is not on the most left it will scroll, so the file will be there.

1. When MIDI items are in group container, it's possible to open only the last item in MIDI Editor. It is not on the GIF, but F2 on group container at Edit cursor shows only the last item (MIDI, audio etc.), so you have to marque select the container firstly.
2. Creating another group container makes the first one to vanish and only group remains. Only the second try to create a new group is successful.

Wow i feel that it's going to have a lot of potential, thanks! Btw it would be great if we could enter the container to edit the contained audio items with double click or something like an A/B view as inline editor.

EDIT: I love that we can edit the contained audio with RE, super nice

With RE we can edit the contained audio only if we grab the whole waveforms. Would it be possible to be able and grab parts of the waveform too?



EDIT: Also it's moving the whole audio just by grabbing the start, It would be nice if would split it instead

Can't Group same copies of audio separately. It toggles grouping one another.

Not just on one track but across tracks too.

Not getting that crash here.

I have the 'group' button enabled for media items and Alt+C for 'create container'. This toggles multiple items between a container and group and also toggles individual 'members' of a group. 'U' (ungroup) also works to 'decontain' items.

There's now a +dev0416a build that will fix a couple of the obvious bugs with the experimental group container feature. This feature is extremely experimental and is likely to change significantly.

I think it would be better to ungroup the items when we put them out of the container so we could move them separately without ungrouping them first.

good to know that! containers with items from different tracks looks like it is totally dismissed in the plans (or maybe not? ) but at least this and lanes should work well together.

This has been sound design DREAM of mine for ages. Very excited to dig into it and see its development! :-)

EDIT: Okay so I might have jumped the gun a bit. The very first thing I tried was to apply an item FX on the container item--and that doesn't appear to work yet. I realize it's early, but I hope it'll be possible down the line. (prayer hand emoji)

If container will support take system, fx, and other item atributies, it will be really revolution!

Oh God! I need time for testing!

Default Insert MIDI item action via mouse modifier crashes reaper

I use Insert media item... action via double click mouse modifier for the Track context. I get an instant crash when adding a second midi item (the first one adds normally) on the same track.

I found this out when I tried to test the new container feature- looks nice.


This is what it shows in Event viewer:
Faulting application name: reaper.exe, version: 75.76.228.74, time stamp: 0x6079b388
Faulting module name: reaper.exe, version: 75.76.228.74, time stamp: 0x6079b388

Faulting process id: 0x2490
Faulting application start time: 0x01d732f1f3561942
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\REAPER (x64)\reaper.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\REAPER (x64)\reaper.exe

Thanks

thinking a bit further... maybe could be nice to have 2 states for the container:
- locked/not editable
- unlocked/editable

Currently pre has full box container and maybe could considered the closed state of the container
and something like in this mockup could represent the unlocked/editable state.

May I ask about this, devs? While it seems to be self-explanatory, I don't get the possible bugs related to it and what the improvement does exactly... Regarding the other fix, whenever I see the word MIDI in the change log I instantly get happy. No matter what...



Thanks in advance...

For now we can just group and nothing else. I hope it's temporary.

Also I guess, meta-items should be boxes around items, but not collapsed items. We should be able to edit contents of these meta-items after grouping.
So in fixed lanes mode or FIP mode items should stay on their places, don't collapce on one lane.
This is more clear for look and provides fast edit access.

And takes system for variations and new comping abilities, of cource!

I mean, if we’re going to have another type of “item” which totally doesn’t work like actual items (see automation “items”), then...I guess I still won’t have a reason to upgrade...

Please fix the bug in the media explorer. The "Insert on a new track" menu function does not synchronize the sample with the tempo of the project. This issue has appeared since version 6.16

I too am getting crashes with this information, which started after trying the container functionality (removing items from group) and now happen immediately when clicking on arrangement/track area.


It happens repeatedly on v6.27+dev0416a with my customized configuration which has SWS, Reaticulate, modified v5 theme and a bunch of other things installed. So far it has not happened on clean install of v6.27+dev0416a.


EDIT: witnessed crash with same exceptions happen on clean install too, after using "Remove items from group". The group container contained audio files.

Regarding container items in general, very interesting to see it implemented!

Just the other day I was wishing for some kind of "container" functionality when assembling audio clips into segments that were intended to be looped and repeated elsewhere in the project.


Agreeing with others in that this feature has a lot of potential.
I'd wish for container item to be a "meta-item", with ability to:
- be looped
- be pooled
- have fades
- be stretched, perhaps
- have limits to avoid Inception-like abstraction, which it luckily already seems to have?


For editing contents of the container/meta-item, I'd suggest a "container editing mode" which would:
- open up the container area for editing (temporary ungrouping), perhaps dimming the rest of arrangement area around it to make it clear to users
- allow user to modify items inside the container, as normally on the track
- allow user to change container left and right boundaries, perhaps
- re-containerize the items on exiting "container editing mode", and after that update possible pooled instances.

It is of course far easier wished than done.
Thanks in any case!

Not really sure the point of this, didn’t PIPs just need the ability to be saved as part of the project, instead of, but still retaining the ability to, save as a separate file?

Look forward to trying containers when I get home. Pips version 2?
Not sure if the big plan but if you could tempo map the container and copy it to the main.
I would be your best friend forever

edit: ah my bad, it's not a pip thing

maybe it's a silly question, but i try anyway

Will those containers work only within a single track?
Can we embed items across different tracks? (a la ProTools)
This was something I was using a lot back in the days because it's more practical than groups for certain editing tasks.
