Can I edit the increment for this action: "Track: Nudge track volume up"

[mister happy]

Hi,
I searched around and found a bunch of old threads but no clear answer.

I would like to change the increment for the following actions:

Track: Nudge track volume up
Track: Nudge track volume down

from 0.05dB to either 0.5dB

Is it possible to edit these built in actions?

Thank you.

Hi,

Yesterday I learned about ReaPack and installing scripts.

I see that there are scripts available that will do what I want, so now I am wondering; is this a case where I will better off installing the scripts that do what I want, reassigning the hotkeys, and forgetting about editing the existing actions?

Thank you.

Thank you.

You can build your own custom action with ten x 0.05dB actions.

Probably, I didn't find a track volume nudge setting in preferences, so you'll either need to make custom action as tompad mentioned, or copy and modify a script, like these from, me2beats,..

Nudge tracks volume down 0.5 db,
https://github.com/me2beats/reapack/...200.5%20db.lua
Nudge tracks volume up 0.5 db,
https://github.com/me2beats/reapack/...200.5%20db.lua
Ask user for the nudge value,
https://github.com/me2beats/reapack/...k%20volume.lua

Hi Thank you,
I was looking at the me2beats track volume scripts via the ReaPack utility, and that is what prompted my second question.

My first question, was based on the fact that I don't know where to find the OEM actions, nor do I know how to edit or build custom actions, but I would like to learn.

However, as mentioned in the 2nd post, it occurred to me that using the me2beats scripts and assigning the hotkeys to them, that were assigned to the OEM actions, may be better than trying to reinvent what already exists.

Thank you. :-)

The me2beats files should be very easy to modify, for example to make a script that lowers volume by 3 db you could simply copy the file 'Nudge tracks volume down 0.5 db' and rename the copy to 'Nudge tracks volume down 0.3 db', In Reaper open Action > Show action list, click Load,, select the file 'Nudge tracks volume down 0.3 db', click OK, then click Edit button. You should now see the source code, near the top of the code you'll see,
local nudge = -0.5
change that line to,
local nudge = -0.3
Press Control+S to save the changes to the script.
Assign a toolbar button, menu item and/or keyboard shortcut to that -0.3 db script.

That's why I thought the built actions might be as well, but the edit button is not available.

Thank you for the helpful suggestions.
