Are you sure, that you didn't get the hotfixes? Everything looks like, you got them. If the functions still don't work as expected, then there must be another bug in them.

You can check by using ultraschall.MB, which I fixed a bug in.

ultraschall.MB("Test")
SLEM()

If you use Windows and you can use the function Windows without an error-message popping up, the hotfixes work as expected.
If it complains, that you can use the function only on Windows, then the hotfixes don't work.

On Mac it's the other way around, means: if you run the function and get an error-message, everything works as expected.

[aurelien]

PHP Code:

ultraschall_hotfixes.lua:503: attempt to compare nil with number 


Yeah it seems i did not get all the fixes , i did a full reinstall through reapack and still getting the error

I've looked in the ultrashall_hotfixes.lua and i can find the updated DeleteTracks_TrackString function, but it's not used when i call the method

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

Ok, can you insert into the ultraschall_hotfixes.lua something like

reaper.MB("Test", "bla", 0)

and see, whether it gets displayed when running the API?

If not, I need to investigate further.

[aurelien]

Yes it gets displayed correctly !

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

Ok, can you add reaper.MB("Test", "bla", 0) into DeleteTracks_TrackString and see, if it gets displayed, when you try to use this function?

[aurelien]

Yes it doesn't get called, i guess the hotfix function override is not working

I don't know much about lua, so i don't know what is missing and why the hotfix function is not called

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

Ok, at least it gives me a hint:

a) The Hotfixes are loaded

but

b) the functions in it get overwritten for some reason.

That means the download itself seem to work, but something else happens, that shouldn't.

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

Ok, I found the bug. Will upload a fix within a few minutes...

Edit: or not....

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

I cannot reproduce it. On my system, everything works as expected.

What happens when you try to call DeleteTracks_TrackString? Does it show an error message? Does it still behave, as before(the buggy way)?

[aurelien]

Really interesting, i did put messages in the two DeleteTracks_TrackString functions:
1.hotfix function
2.trackmodule function

When i call directly :
ultraschall.DeleteTracks_TrackString("1")

-> I get the hotfix message.

When i call this function:
ultraschall.RenderProject_RenderTable(nil, nil, false, true, false)

-> I get the trackmodule message, so the hotfix function is not called in this case.

Looks like an include problem, i did the following, my scripts using ultrashall have the following line:
dofile(reaper.GetResourcePath().."/UserPlugins/ultraschall_api.lua")

The DeleteTracks_TrackString that is called in this file, is not the hotfix one
ultraschall_functions_Render_Module.lua

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

@aurelien
Ah, now I get it!

RenderProject_RenderTable wasn't fixed in hotfixes, only ApplyRenderTable_Project, as this was the function causing your problems.

I use ApplyRenderTable_Project in RenderProject_RenderTable, so this is probably the cause of confusion in here.

Means: RenderProject_RenderTable should work properly now.

4.1.001 - "Radiohead - Spectre"

Has now 1129 functions, with 18 new ones

new in this release:

• Automation Items
  You can get all automation-items as well as deleting the ones you want to delete.
  That's right, you can now safely delete one programmatically!

• Rendering functions
  Support now the new rendering options of Reaper 6.10: embedding Take markers as well as Do not render files that are likely silent.
  Note: Reaper 6.10 has a bug, which prevents simultaneously from setting Add to Project and Do not render files likely silent-checkboxes of the Render to File-dialog. Fixed in later versions of Reaper.

• SetTrack_LastTouched
  Allows you to set a track as last touched, which wasn't possible before.

• SetTrack_Trackheight_Force
  Sets the trackheight of a track to any height you like, including heights not allowed by the theme.
  That way, you can set the trackheight to e.g. 1px, allowing you better organisation of your arrangeview's tracks.

• CollapseTrackHeight
  Speaking of trackheight, this function collapses tracks to the minimum height allowed by the currently selected theme.

• GFX_GetDropFile
  Call it frequently when having opened your gfx-window, and it will return drag'n'dropped files as well as the dropping-position within the gfx.init-window. No need to fiddle it out by yourself.

• ActionsList_GetSelectedActions
  Returns all selected entries from the opened actionlist, including Action Command Ids, texts, etc.
  Kudos to Edgemeal, who wrote the initial version of it.

• IsTimeSigmarkerAtPosition
  Already implemented for markers and regions, I added it for time-signature-markers as well.
  Returns, if a time-signature-maker is at a certain position.

• and more plus bugfixes

Kudos to Lokasenna and to Xenakios. Hope you both return at some point to the Reaper-community.

New features in 4.1.001

• Actions: ActionsList_GetSelectedActions - gets the selected actions from the opened Action List(prototype code provided by Edgemeal. Thank you!)
• Automation Items: AutomationItems_GetAll - returns all automation-items of the current project

• Helperfunctions: Benchmark_MeasureTime - starts/resets a benchmark-measure(requested by rstockm)
• Helperfunctions: EscapeMagicCharacters_String - escapes the magic-characters, used for pattern matching, from a string, so it can be used without triggering "magic"-pattern-matching-features
• Marker Management: IsTimeSigmarkerAtPosition - returns, if at a position/measure is a time-signature marker(requested by tompad)
• MediaItems: MediaItems_Outtakes_AddSelectedItems - adds selected items into the outtakes-vault; this allows you to store outtakes of recordings easily
• MediaItems: MediaItems_Outtakes_GetAllItems - gets all outtakes-items stored in the outtakes-vault
• MediaItems: MediaItems_Outtakes_InsertAllItems - inserts all outtakes-items stored in the outtakes-vault into a project
• ProjectManagement: IsTimeSelectionActive - returns, if there's a time-selection(requested by tompad)
• Track Management: CollapseTrackHeight - collapses the height of a track to the minimum height, as defined by the theme
• Track Management: GetTrackByTrackName - search tracknames follwing a certain pattern or for a certain name
• Track Management: SetTrack_LastTouched - sets a track to be last-touched track
• Track Management: SetTrack_Trackheight_Force - sets the trackheight of a track and allows setting heights beyond the limitations set by the theme
• Web Interface: WebInterface_GetInstalledInterfaces - returns all installed webinterfaces(webrc) of the current Reaper installation, custom and Reaper-defaults

Changes from 4.00 to 4.1.001

• API: GetApiVersion - updated docs to reflect the current behavior
• DeveloperTools: ultraschall_Add_Developertools_To_Reaper.lua - weren't installed using this action -> fixed
• DeveloperTools: Ultraschall State Inspector - extended number of saveslots to 20; didn't correctly store and load gmem-states from the stateslots -> fixed (thanks to lexaproductions)

After Update I receive the following error:

Hmm, this shouldn't be...I'll have a look at that...

Edit: found the bug

Edit2: Ok, should work now...

You're welcome

[aurelien]

Hi i've updated to the latest version, i'm getting a freeze/ infinite loop in the following function :
function ultraschall.RenderProject_RenderTable(projectfilen ame_with_path, RenderTable, AddToProj, CloseAfterRender, SilentlyIncrementFilename)

Any idea ? Is there something to update on my side ?

Maybe because of this ?

@aurelien:
Ooops, I accidentally deleted an important function. I fixed it, so it should work now.


@all
Hotfix I available:

Changes:
- SetRender_SaveCopyOfProject - got accidentally deleted, readded it now (thanks to aurelien)

Please update your ReaPacks.

[aurelien]

Great it's fixed!

Everything seems fine now between hotfixes and all

Thank you so much for your work.

You're welcome. And thanks for your feedback, even though I hate making mistakes

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

Ok, Boys n Girls, in the next devcycle, I would love to finish up FXStateChunk-Management as well as ParameterLearn/Modulation/LFO.

As I know, that some of you need this and some of the currently existing Ultraschall-API-functions in that regards have issues, I would love to ask for your help with that.

So, if you want to help me getting this stuff working up and running, please say: Hell Yeah!

(Want to finally get rid of this ToDo-List-entry.)

[aurelien]

Hi Mespotine,
Another issue in:
RenderProject_RenderTable

The function is ignoring the "Bounds" parameter : I'm able to successfully set-up my render table with "CreateNewRenderTable", but when I'm calling RenderProject_RenderTable with my rendertable : it's always rendering "items" and not regions for example.

And I'm getting the reaper error : "No Time Selection or no regions active", even when i have a selected time/region.

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

Can you give me a code-snippet which shows this behavior?

[aurelien]

Here it is, just create a region and select it, then run this code without selecting any item.
You'll get the reaper error "No Time Selection or no regions active"

If you select many items, reaper will render every item and not the region, not respecting the render table setup.

It seems like you pass a wrong parameter to CreateNewRenderTable:

    --Create the RenderTable
    RenderTable = ultraschall.CreateNewRenderTable(sourceDropDown, bounds, Startposition, Endposition, TailFlag, TailMS, renderDirectory, filePattern, sampleRate, channels, OfflineOnlineRendering, ProjectSampleRateFXProcessing, RenderResample, OnlyMonoMedia, MultiChannelFiles, dither, render_cfg_string, SilentlyIncrementFilename, AddToProj, SaveCopyOfProject, RenderQueueDelay, RenderQueueDelaySeconds, CloseAfterRender)
    SLEM()

returns "param: RenderFile - error #7: must be a string"

Because of that, RenderTable is nil, and cannot be applied using ApplyRenderTable (use SLEM directly after it to get the error).
Therefore the rendering function is using the rendersettings from the current project, as passing parameter "RenderTable" as nil tells the function to use the current project's rendersettings.

PS: You can use print() instead of Msg(), when using Ultraschall-API. That way you don't need to include Msg into your scripts time and again.

[aurelien]

Thanks Mespotine !
Check this updated code, the rendertable is correctly initialized and doesn't return any error, i can print value of the rendertable for example.

However the ultraschall error is the following :

Thanks for your support


Edit : investigated a bit more in your code, I'm entering in this test, something must prevent Reaper rendering the objects and adding tracks

PHP Code:

    -- if no track has been added, the rendering was aborted by userinteraction or error
    if reaper.CountTracks(0)==OldTrackNumber 
    then 
        reaper.MB("Test", "bla", 0)
        aborted=true 
    end

Here's the code, it's quite close to the old one, create a region, select it and launch the script, it should render all the selected regions.

Fun fact: if i save the render table using ApplyRenderTable_Project, and then using RenderProject_RenderTable with nil arguments(to render last settings) : it works.

If i pass the same RenderTable to RenderProject_RenderTable : there's the following error, something is messing with the RenderTable but i don't know what exactly.

Ok, but could you still send me a project file which exhibits the problem? So I can work and check under exactly your conditions. I currently suspect an edge-case-error on my side, but I'll see, if that's really the case.

Oh..and...ehrm...maybe a stupid question but, how do I select a region? I never work with regions so I have no idea how to do it.

[aurelien]

To select a region, just right click on the region and click "Select Region"

I'm sharing you a project, you just have to launch the script included in the zip files, the region is already selected.

Ok, I look into it.

Some notes: You don't need to do

ultraschall.ApplyRenderTable_Project(RenderTable,false)

when you use

local count, MediaItemStateChunkArray, Filearray = ultraschall.RenderProject_RenderTable(nil, RenderTable, renderAddtoProj, renderCloseAfterRender, renderSilentlyIncrementFilename)

unless you want the applied settings to be permanent in the project.

So best is, either use

ultraschall.ApplyRenderTable_Project(RenderTable,f alse)
count, MediaItemStateChunkArray, Filearray = ultraschall.RenderProject_RenderTable(nil, nil, renderAddtoProj, renderCloseAfterRender, renderSilentlyIncrementFilename)

which will set the RenderTable and tells RenderProject_RenderTable to use the currently applied render-settings(in this case the ones from the RenderTable), which is good, if the applied RenderTable-settings shall remain or you use directly

count, MediaItemStateChunkArray, Filearray = ultraschall.RenderProject_RenderTable(nil, RenderTable, renderAddtoProj, renderCloseAfterRender, renderSilentlyIncrementFilename)

The latter one will use RenderTable-settings only for this one render and restore the previous ones again, if you pass a RenderTable to it. Use this one, if you don't want the RenderTable-settings to remain after the render.
By using either one of them, you speedup the rendering-process, as applying RenderTable takes some time and in your code, you set the same RenderTable twice, taking longer in the process.

Hotfix 2 available.

Changes:

• Render: ApplyRenderTable_Project - had problem, when applied twice in a script -> fixed(thanks to aurelien)
• Render: ApplyRenderTable_ProjectFile - had problem, when applied twice in a script -> fixed(thanks to aurelien)

Please update your ReaPacks.


@aurelien
Found the bug, which was an edge case bug, you accidentally stumbled upon with ApplyRenderTable_Project.
Should work now, I hope.

PS: Thanks to you, the function GetProject_MarkersAndRegions supports now reading the region-selection-state of a region in a projectfile. Will be part of the next update

I don't know if I would want to install an entire suite of things to make this happen (although your work is fucking amazing) but I would love to be able to:

- auto save fx chains, presets, fxp, track templates, automation clip shapes, input fx chains all into respective folders either under the project itself, or in the regular reaper presets/track templates folder. Or both, ideally.

So basically the folder would be like this (similar for all)

Fxchains (regularly saved Fxchains)
- per project
- *Songname*
- guitar
- *songname*track*date of save*
- *songname*track*date of save*
- *songname*track*date of save*
- vocals
- *songname*track*date of save*
- *songname*track*date of save*
- *songname*track*date of save*
- drums
- *songname*track*date of save*
- *songname*track*date of save*
- *songname*track*date of save*
- *Songname*
- guitar
- *songname*track*date of save*
- *songname*track*date of save*
- *songname*track*date of save*
- vocals
- *songname*track*date of save*
- *songname*track*date of save*
- *songname*track*date of save*
- drums
- *songname*track*date of save*
- *songname*track*date of save*
- *songname*track*date of save*

and then in the project file directory:

- fxchains
-- Guitar
---*track*date of save*
---*track*date of save*
---*track*date of save*
-- Vocals
---*track*date of save*
---*track*date of save*
---*track*date of save*
-- Drums
---*track*date of save*
---*track*date of save*
---*track*date of save*


There would be a way to wait for changes, and then save presets on exits, making new ones if there's a change.

There would also be a way to delete old files to get out of the way, or to zip all but the recent files up. Maybe a choice to pick each one.

somehow the script would need to be comprehensive but uncluttered. lol

I think this sounds like a good candidate for Ultraschall-Api functions so your post over there is Featurerequest and reminder in one post

Well thanks Mespotine, that was a pretty old request, but basically I just wanted a way to save presets/patches for all plugins used in a project at once, but saved as generic .fxp (or .vst for VST3) files so that they could be imported into other DAWs.

To do it manually is insane (click + in each plugin window, export .fxp/.vst, type all the info), so normally I would just freeze all tracks and export the audio. But sometimes it would be very helpful to continue editing the fx in the new DAW instead of committing them, or perhaps I'd want to transfer a live setup which has no recorded audio to another DAW. Don't think entire Reaper Fx Chains can be exported to other DAWs, but it's not too much trouble to import the necessary presets if they're organized.

Pretty much as JBM describes, all they need is track name and number, date and project name. I'd want it organized like:
Projectname Folder / Project Version Folder (if there are numbers at the end of the name; e.g I use Reaper's versioning which puts _xx style version numbers at the end, but others might vary this manually. Either way, the top folder shouldn't contain a bunch of versions of each project; the versions should be folders inside each project folder) "Track#_Trackname - Fx#_Fxname." That way everything is right there in the project/version folder and I don't have to do much directory-diving.

Icing on the cake would be if this were a single action for the whole project. I automatically queue an mp3 render each time I version a project for convenience and posterity, so it would be great to also be saving preset versions at the same time.

And yea, the script could check for changes between the last saved version and simply copy it over to the new folder if there were none if that saved some cpu time.

I personally don't need this for fx chains, as I simply copy/paste those between project tabs when needed.

Thanks again!

I would DEFINITELY suggest that it does it on exit. We don't need another autosave function that might mess shit up in the middle of a project.

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

I see what I can do. Needs some research but I hope, I can pull it off(though no promises yet).
But FX-Management is still very limited in Ultraschall-API, so more functionality would be really nice.

Thanks for the fix ! It's better but there's still a bug :
If you select two regions(instead of one in my demo project), the RenderProject_RenderTable will only render the first selected region.

Like you said, if i save the settings and pass the second argument as nil, it's working perfectly.

ps: To select two regions, use the reaper "Region Marker Manager".
