Rendered mastermix to new track in project AND mute original tracks

[permeke]

All render options fully understood here but just want to see an action where original tracks are muted when rendered through mastermix / rendered file added to new track in project.
I just can't find this

thanks

So that means:

1) You render all tracks out.
2) the rendered file is inserted into a new track
3) All other tracks are muted?

It should be doable...

Ok, you can try the following script. It requires Ultraschall-API(link in my signature) to work.
I could also add automatically switching on the add rendered file to project-setting, if you wish.

Trackstring=ultraschall.CreateTrackString_AllTracks() -- get all tracks from current project
reaper.Main_OnCommand(40015,0)                           -- open Render to File-dialog


function main2()
  -- check, whether the project is still rendering. If the render is finished, and a track has been added, mute all the "unadded tracks"
  -- otherwise, just end the script
  if reaper.EnumProjects(0x40000000)==nil then 
    Trackstring2=ultraschall.CreateTrackString_AllTracks()
    if Trackstring~=Trackstring2 then 
      ultraschall.ApplyActionToTrack(Trackstring, 40730) 
      return
    else
      return
    end
  else 
    reaper.defer(main2) 
  end
end

function main()
  -- check, whether a project is rendering and if not, if the Render to File-dialog is closed.
  -- if a project is rendering, go to the function main2, otherwise end the script
  if reaper.EnumProjects(0x40000000)~=nil then 
      reaper.defer(main2)
  elseif ultraschall.GetRenderToFileHWND()==nil then
    return
  end
  reaper.defer(main)
end

main() -- run the first function

Hey Man , Thanks for the fast reply .
Yes , that's exactly what I need.
I know nothing about building action scripts but will try to integrate what you supplied.

cheers

No problem, but please do me a favor and don't call me man, as by my signature

[permeke]

It works but the source tracks stay unmuted .
Also possible to close all 2 render popup windows ?

thanks

Sorry Meo-Ada

[permeke]

or even better , after rendering and put on new track: freeze all source tracks and put in folder track.

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

Could you make a screenvideo of what it does and then you manually set the mutestates correctly as you wanted it?
And do the freezing as well so I see, what exactly you want.

You can use LiceCap for this, which is by the Reaper developers.

Closing the renderwindows automatically is possible.

[permeke]

ok, I will do a licecap.

Was playing with it last night and one time I hade the source tracks muted after rendering.
I don't know what I did differently.
By Freezing I mean there's a function in the track menu that does that . Render/freeze tracks

if Trackstring~=Trackstring2 then
ultraschall.ApplyActionToTrack(Trackstring, 40730)

When posting code, it's best to wrap it in [code]-brackets(or select the code and click the #-button of this editor) so the code is readable and retains the formatting.

Otherwise parts of the code could get missing or replaced.

To clarify, what the code does:
It looks, which tracks are existing before the rendering and, after rendering is finished, it looks for the track, that has been added.
It will mute all(!) the former and keep unmuted the latter.

Maybe this isn't necessarily what you want, so maybe I need more an explanation what the source-tracks are. The selected ones? Or all existing?

My Licecap doesn't seems to work. I shows my blank desktop.
It would be nice if the selected items are muted after rendering.
