Default Send selected tracks to bus without shift-dragging?

It gets a little bit messy and very slow when shift-dragging multiple tracks to a single reverb bus in a really big midi orchestral project. Is there a faster way to do this? For example, selected tracks-click on track sends in mixer (routing window pops up)-scroll down and send that single track (while others are highlighted) to a reverb bus. Hopefully I'm making sense.

I'm aware about right clicking the routing button and using that menu that doesn't really scroll (takes a long time in a large project). That sends all of them. Just takes a while holding your mouse over the arrow to scroll (no scroll bar).

Hi

see the thread :
https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=193628
I made a script for that.
I can modify it to suit your need.

Both good suggestions. Thank you for the script! Pretty awesome. My only problem is I need them all to go to audio out 1/2 in the routing window. Could you do that pretty please? haha

That's it! Thank you! For some reason, it went to blank or 0 track channels on the bus routing? Any way to prevent this? (have to manually change track channels to 2)

ReaPack/mpl_Send selected tracks to track under mouse cursor
ReaPack/mpl_Send selected tracks to track under mouse cursor (channel 3-4)
ReaPack/mpl_Send track under mouse cursor to selected tracks

(just in case there were released at january 2016, support default send flags and multichannel routing if I remember right)

Quote:

I guess something goes wrong because of mismatching channels in dest and source tracks (and send flags as well).

I do have SWS. However, it is changing the track channels to 'blank' instead of 2.

Hello mpl.... seems like this lua sets the send from Audio 1 and not from Audio 1/2

did you intend that?

normally the send would be from 1/2 to whatever... right?

EDIT: what would be really great would be a script that would put up a pop up that would let us
enter the conditions of the send or receive... Audio X > X MIDI X > X

I remember that was an issue when I implemented multichannel support for this script. I can`t reproduce this issue with current version.

thanks for the fixes!

question or maybe problem.... about the lua's that say (increment send channel)

say two trks selected sending to a third trak under mouse

I run it once and get sends from 1/2 to 1/2

Now using the same selected traks and same receiving trk, I run it again
and get two more sends 1/2 to 1/2
I would expect to get either 3/4 to 1/2 or 1/2 to 3/4

Am I not understanding what to expect?

It's cool that these solutions exist, but I have never understood why you have to hold shift in this case. I have multiple tracks selected, it should be obvious that I want multiple sends. I also should have a popup IO window where I can modify the properties of multiple sends at once.
