Default Set track grouping parameters? (->VCA)

Hey all,

I've been thinking it would be useful to create a script that acts a bit like 'make folder from selected tracks' but for VCAs.

The steps would be as follows, and I've added *** for the steps I'm unsure about:

-Save track selection
-Select first of selected tracks
-Select previous track
-Insert new track
-Set selected track (i.e. new track) to layout XYZ (I have a track layout I use specifically for VCAs)
-Set track grouping parameters: unused group to VCA+mute+solo Lead***
-Restore track selection
-Set track grouping parameters: set to the just-created group to VCA+mute+solo Follow***


What code could I use to achieve those two *** steps, please?

I started a custom action (attached), but it runs into problems and would be better executed as a script.


Thanks in advance!
Dax.

The cherry on top would be if the script prompted the user to input a name for the new Track Grouping group.

I have a script package with the following things for the 64 groups:

  • Add selected tracks VCA follow to group
  • Set selected tracks VCA follow to group
  • Unset selected tracks VCA follow to group
  • Toggle selected tracks VCA follow to group
Is this what your request is about ?

Not exactly. It was more about knowing the code to create and make a Tracking Grouping group and how to set a track's Track Grouping parameters.

Sexan_Create VCA Master from selection.lua, in Sexan repository.

Settings inside the script, including asking for the group name

Thank you, thank you! I'll try that out. 🙏
