SWS Extension Updates

[Raaphorst]

How can I report a bug?

When you use a Channel Mode (properties of the Item), for example by turning a stereo item into mono, when Normalizing the item with the Action Reset Volume And Normalize to -23 LUFS, it sets the Channel Mode back to Normal. So it resets itself. Where can I report this?

SWS related issues/bugs should be reported on the SWS issue tracker.

Can I post a FR?
It would be nice to make possible "sort" (by user, manualy), re-order, or in some way change ID of Cycle Actions.
Because sometimes it becomes annoying.

[Buy One]

They can be re-numbered-cum-re-ordered manually in the S&M_Cyclactions.ini even though it is explicitly advised against in the code. But if you know what you're doing and have a backup copy of the file nothing awful will happen.

What should be taken into account though is that after re-numbering, custom actions using cycle actions whose number was changed will stop working correctly because they will end up pointing at different cycle actions

[ARkaine2]

I didn't use cycle actions which use another cycle actions yet, but after changing order of cycle actions (in S&M_Cyclactions.ini) also shortcuts became wrong, and I'm not sure about custom actions (which use cycle actions).

[Buy One]

Oh yeah, didn't consider shortcuts, they're associated with a cycle action number included in their command IDs. So another thing to be aware of.

Custom actions using cycle actions can be looked up and updated in reaper-kb.ini, again not before having made a backup copy of the file.

Has anyone else had their track templates inside Resources disappear? As far I can tell, nothing changed on my end. Templates didn't move. I wasn't tweaking anything with SWS.

I added a few of my most used ones back in quickly. A couple days later, they're gone again.

I haven't gone through reproducing it, but I thought I'd check here and see if it was either a known issue with a solution, or a known issue that doesn't have a solution before following through with a bug report.

Thanks all

(my FX Chains and Projects are still listed and working)

Which Reaper-/SWS-version/OS?

Not sure if related but from Reaper v6.76 until Reaper v6.78 there was an issue that could cause data loss in SWS (https://github.com/reaper-oss/sws/issues/1743).
Should be fixed in Reaper v6.79+.

I am a version behind! I'll update and assume that the problem will be fixed moving forward. Thanks!!!!

Xenakios/SWS: Rename takes and source files... (no undo)

I can't seem to get this action to work without crashing Reaper. The files rename in explorer properly but the Reaper crashes immedialtly after without saving the change. So the next time Reaper opens it's now has miss matched item/ file names.

Any idea why how to fix this?

REAPER: 6.50-7.0pre25. I believe the issue started back as far as v6.5

OS: Windows 11 22H2

SWS version 2.13.2.0

FILE TYPE: WAV

Thanks for the quick reply.

Please post the crash report as seen in Windows Event Viewer. https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=36653

I'm new to reaper and I'm trying to create a shortcut to toggle between 3 states using dummy toggles.
I hope this is the right place to ask.

I'm using the Cycle Actions script (I believe this is the proper tool) and I'm trying to create an action that would toggle between, selected folder is uncollapsed, selected folder is small and selected folder is collapsed, and then the reverse order.

I'm new to all this and I messed with this all night and I can't make it work, not even sure this is doable so I thought I'd ask here.
Is this doable?

I have a feeling it is and probably super easy to setup when you know what you're doing but my Reaper skills are pretty limited at the moment.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys! First of all I love Reaper and the SWS Extension... I was searching for years to finally find an extension that does exactly what I want. However I have a problem that I just Can't seem to find the answer to myself... This is my first forum post, so I'm sorry if the question is in the wrong thread.

Here is what I'm havinbg trouble with:

I created around 40 regions. Each one is just one bar of click source. Each region has a tempo marker at the beginning. I created three region setlists containing the clicktracks to each individual song in the set. Then I set "infinite loop" for the regions. I use it live and in the rehearsal room to have a clicktrack and setlist in one thing. Sometimes (like every 40s of playback) the clicksound goes away and than starts again. Luckily in time... The error message that pops up says "Sync Loss". I attached a picture of the issue.

I use a Behringer UMC1820 which is connected via usb to the laptop that is running reaper. The drivers are all installed and up to date.

Interestingly when I run the project on my pc, the sync loss does not happen...

Maybe someone has had the same issue and knows how to fix it!

Many greetings

[alphoc]

Yes the sws stuff can do a lot of things but I still don't like it at all, I'm waiting for Reaper to get rid of it and do better, maybe in the future.

[_Stevie_]

REAPER does not need to get rid of it. SWS is optional.

Hi, thanks for the help!

Here's a link to the DMP file:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/iwilyqn9h..._2lUqss4a?dl=0

We figured out that the stable SWS version from 2021, the v2.12.1, works fine, but not the pre-release version v2.13.2.0

I'm also attaching the crash on Event Viewer.

Best,


Steve

I'm running Reaper v7.0pre25.

The SWS version that I'm working on is the pre-release version v2.13.2.0. It works on the stable SWS version from 2021 (v2.12.1) but not this pre-release.

Thanks, turns out it's a bug I've already fixed for the next version. The crash is triggered by the presence of LTC items (maybe others kinds too, if they don't have a filename).

EDIT: I've triggered a rebuild, in about an hour the AppVeyor bot will post a new comment on that page with fixed binaries you can try, to confirm.

Fantastic! You're a saint! I'll donwnload as soon as you post the rebuild.

Thank you, I installed the SWS extention from your link and it worked.

You're the best

SOLVED
It turns out I downloaded the intel executable and not the native one. Stupid me!



Im experienceing an issue where the SWS extensions do not load after updating to 7.0 version. I have tried both the latest beta which I was using before and also the latest stable version. I think there is a problem with initialization as I do not see the .dynlib name flashing on the initialization. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could debug this? I really need my auto-coloring back!

I have tried doing a clean portable installation with the latest beta and that did not work as well. It seems that SWS is not working under Sonoma MacOS and Reaper 7.0. Any ideas?

[maralatho]

I'm finding SWS's auto-coloring feature to be flaky under Reaper 7. It kind of works, but if I try to swap in different color sets, they don't get loaded unless I reinstall SWS each time.

The Paste Track Template Items to Selected Tracks is not working in reaper 7. When command is run, nothing happens.

has anyone else had this issue.

Works here. Was "Include track items in template" checked when the template was saved?

[Nardberr]

Reaper 7 updated standard toolbars from 16 to 32 but contextual menu only recognizes the original 16.
I’m not sure if this applies to the midi toolbars that were updated from 8 to 16.

[Pink Wool]

Again asking if it would be possible to let users change the red record ruler color?

Bug report : in Reaper 7, when there is some visual track spacers, all the actions that use the mouse position are offset like there is no track spacer.

Reported a few times, I think they've fixed it as well.

Oh that's nice thanks !
Do you know if there is a way to download it with the fix ? Or do we have to wait for them to make a release ?
I don't really know how that works and it seems that the version on the sws's website is really outdated.

There are builds that can be used to test before release here: https://github.com/reaper-oss/sws/pu...ent-1782573658.

It is. The latest SWS version is here: https://www.sws-extension.org/download/pre-release/.

Thanks a lot !
I'll test it !

Hi there,

is there a possibility to make regions from specific markers? I’ll give you example:

I have an audio book with many markers. Some of them marks starts and ends of chpaters (M1 and M10 for example), some of them marks mistakes etc. (M2-M9 for example). I want to make region between M1 and M10 but still want to maintain M2-M9. I know I could do this with time selection but Im searching for a way how to do that in region marker manager or something like that (just easier way). I thaught to myself that answer could be somewhere in SWS extension. Could you help me?

Thank you very much

[unguitar]

Hi,
I've just installed the extensions and was checking about the prerequisites under Preferences and Settings.
I can't seem to find the option to select both time and items when using right click marquee to On.
Is this option still available on 7.1 following the path: Options>Preferences>Editing Behavior>Mouse?

i wasn't sure if this was the last pre-release (January 16) + the mouse action fixes, or it includes other fixes as well.

I just pull-requested this work last week, so it's definitely not in the last pre-release.

That temporary PR build is just v2.13.2 + sockmonkey72's spacer patch.

[unguitar]

Hi,
