Ultraschall-API 4.9 - 1663 Lua-Functions -"Razor Edit"

[Jae.Thomas]

i do wish there were a way to automatically save snapshots and fx chains from every song upon save. lol

[reapero]

Mmmm...would it be possible then use Get the current Marker/Region at mouse-position + the render feature to do something like:

a) activate script
b) roll over the regions you want to render with the mouse
c) then render these regions without having to go thru the region matrix, etc

[X-Raym]

@reapero
Maybe take a look at my RRM pack ? There is a lot of scripts which works with time selection and selected track there.

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

@Reapero
Yes.

@JBM
Don't lol it, mixing snapshots and FX snapshos are actually on my ToDoList. Haven't found a proper usage-concept yet, due the complexity of the task.

[tXShooter]

If we don't like it, do we get our money back?

Bahahahahahaha.

[mpl]

dofile(reaper.GetResourcePath().."/UserPlugins/ultraschall_api.lua")

So just a various functions inside a dedicated table (not an extension)?

1 hour and 40 minutes, until release...

I think, I still got some GDR-Marks around here, that I don't need. So if you accept that as currency... :P

In this version yes. But only, as I hadn't enough time to dig into CPP and plugin-extension-development yet.

And because, Julian already made tons of the stuff, I intended to add at some point

[_Stevie_]

That's really a valuable addition to the Reaper community, even if some comments might state the opposite.
Thanks man!

[Coachz]

If anyone is bored feel free to make a video to show me what all this does. Thanks in advance

By the way this is the epitome of what the reaper Community is. People making awesome things to go with Reaper. So very cool from white tie to SWS it's really a great place to hang out.

That's exactly, why coding big projects for Reaper is a great thing to do. You get the feeling, people are thankful for your efforts and make cool things with your stuff that are helpful for you in return

You are late ! This count-down was a lie !! ^^

EDIT: I was a bit early. Now you are late :P

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

Go To https://forum.cockos.com/showpost.ph...98&postcount=1

[X-Raym]

@mespotine
There is a https error on https://api.ultraschall.fm/


You have to fix your certificate :P

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

Oh...right now....

Use https://ultraschall.fm/api for the time being...

[X-Raym]

@mespotine
DOn't worry I add an exception rule to your website,


which is very beautiful by the way (at least the home page, the functions list could deserve a bit of styling :P)

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

Yes, but this is for a future update

[X-Raym]

Thanks for sharing anyway, there is a lot of things to learn there before being used, and to know what it can solve, but it's very generous to you to have make this

[X-Raym]

I think that like an extension it should be shared via reapack so that anyone always has the last versions of the functions.

I know, that's why I wrote an extensive site that describes many of the concepts: https://mespotin.uber.space/Ultrasch..._Concepts.html

ReaPack is on my list, but not before beta 2.8 or beta 2.9.

[X-Raym]

And there's even easter eggs ! (or maybe, winter eggs ?)

ultraschall.WinterlySnowflakes

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

Yup, somethin' for tha kids

[Breeder]

Fucking awesome - great job and thank you so much for sharing this!

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

You're welcome

[reapero]

What a pleasure to read the descriptions on the functions.

Nicely done dude! Thanks a lot!

[andyp24]

This looks really interesting, as the Radio and Audio Drama work I'm involved in has many similarities to podacst work (which I also do, by the way).

I'm learning to write scripts for various features I (and colleagues in similar areas of work) need, and these functions could be really useful.

I can't pretend I understand it very well yet, but I look forward to trying them out and seeing what I can do with them.

Cheers
Andy

[semiquaver]

this will be super helpful - thanks!

im looking for a way for them to be mass-saved for each project automatically

[Eliseat]

Many thanks for this "Mammutwerk".

As I'm no programmer I have to wait what others create with your library. But I'm pretty curious about the outcome. And of course I can't await to get my obligatory snowflakes inside Reaper. (If it is what I imagine.)

Will be done at some point. It's big but should be doable.

FXChains, Routings and other Tracksettings are easy to store.
The biggest problem is rather, that part of the mix are also automation/envelopes for a whole track, so they would need to be saved too.
And Tempo and other such Maps for the Master Track.
Or not?
Still thinking of that to find a proper way of doing it.

Yes, the snowflakes display snowflakes on your gfx-window. There's a thread in here, where I uploaded a script called WinterlySnowflakes. In there, there's also a gif that shows, how it looks.
It's basically the same

Yay, I hope, it could become useful for you. Just take your time to dig through the Introduction/Concepts-page, it should show you a whole lot of things, split into use-case-categories.
Many of these functions make programming with more advanced concepts easier than doing it with Lua and Reaper's API alone, which should make writing complex scripts easier that way, with a "lower entrypoint" for new programmers.

Exactly. The same goes for some theater stuff.

@ mespotine: fantastic!

Does this mean a new Ultraschall is near too?

I've been reading the Sendegate forum for a while. Still getting my head around German culture (and language). I think it's a shame lots of stuff isn't available in English, but I understand were Ralf is going with this.

Dies ist das wichtigste Projekt in Reaper Land!

[clepsydrae]

Ultraschall itself looks interesting, too -- any hope of an English translation of the main page?

And thanks for your work on this framework!

Look at FLstudio's "project bones" - it's almost like I want to say - remember that track we did back in september? That vocal sound was coool. Let's go get it.

Navigate to project folder/project bones/vocals/fx chains/vocals/vocals.rfx
/track templates/vocals.tracktemplate
/presets/vocals-virtualmixrack.fxb
vocals-verbsuiteclassics.fxb
vocals-aireq.fxb



which was automagically saved on render or something.

You may take a look at our GitHib repository which comes with english translations:

https://github.com/Ultraschall/ultra.../3.2/README.md
https://github.com/Ultraschall/ultra...3.2/INSTALL.md
https://github.com/Ultraschall/ultra...2/CHANGELOG.md

As for the website, use this translator it's brilliant and way better than google translate:
https://www.deepl.com/translator

The user interface of Ultraschall is already 100% english.

BUT.
Your main source of knowledge are the tutorial videos, more than 30 hours:
https://ultraschall.fm/tutorials/

And these are in german only. Without the screencasts, chances are low that you will "get the hang" of our approach to podcasting on REAPER.
Currently, we do not support the english market for lack of resources. Podcasting is a very different business in the USA - frankly speaking it's no business at all in Germany but a large crowd of enthusiasts who do it in their spare time. For example, there is no market for advertising - for many listeners in Germany feel annoyed by ads.

Thus, our Ultraschall project lacks an "enterprise" support model. Ultraschall is open source and pro bono. We would be eaten alive by the US market.

We plan to release some interesting stuff here, though - e.g. our "dynamics 2" voice effect with expander, limiter, compressor:
https://github.com/Ultraschall/ultra...chall_Dynamics

[clepsydrae]

Great, thanks for the info.

Finally .... Seems very impressive !!!
Is this restricted to LUA programming or can it be used with for other languages, as well ?

Only Lua. Doing this for EEL and Python would mean to rewrite it from scratch.

But give Lua a try, it is real easy to code with and many people in here, that can help you with it

[zookthespook]

Thank you for putting all the time behind this project
to be honest i am just a script leech .. can't even script hello world without seeing a tutorial , but thanks to good people like you we get to see new powers added to reaper !
