Insert Named Marker Script ?

[Coachz]

Can anyone make a script that will insert a named marker at the edit cursor position please ?

!1013 marker is Transport: Record, this will provide a Punch In with no Punch Out or as some call it Punch to end.

For some reason it doesn't punch in at the exact point though. Thanks for any help.

As far as action markers are concerned, they are not sample accurate. The inaccuracy can vary from run to run, sometimes the action can trigger early, and other times late. For stuff that is time dependent, action markers are not the way to go.

Perhaps a ReaScript could be made that runs in defer() mode and when you were done you would have to run the script again for it to exit.

[Coachz]

Well if anyone can come up with a script to do time accurate "Punch In Only" mode that would be great.

I have a toolbar button I made called "Punch To End" but I'm not home so I can look and see what it does. Might be able to remote in later or check when I get home.

It is probably exactly what you are doing already but let me check when I can to make sure.

[karbomusic]

OK, I was way off base. Looks like what I was doing was setting record to punch time selection then have the following tied to a button so that I just place the edit cursor and click the button, then back the cursor up a tad and go... that isn't quite what you are needing. I suppose you could add a couple more actions to make the entire thing one click, not sure?



Maybe something like the above + Back the cursor up some + Record to make it instant.

[Coachz]

Maybe the devs will take a moment to add a Punch IN Only mode and make it dreamy.

Hi

Use this script
Change Name and color ,save instances for different colors and names.

name = "name me"
color = brown

wow, that works really well sans the timing issues. It still makes a useful Punch In Only, you just have to give it a measure or so lead in to make sure to get it. Using your script this is what I am thinking to get a new track ready to punchin in only.........Thanks again. The marker name is "!1013".

Custom: Punch In Only
SWS/S&M: Copy selected tracks (with routing)
Item: Paste items/tracks
Script: EXT - Insert marker at Edit cursor with custom Name and Color.lua
Item: Select all items on selected tracks in current time selection
SWS: Delete all items on selected track(s)

You are welcome

huh, what where ????

[Outboarder]

Sorry my bad, it's up, refresh the page.

[Coachz]

thanks but I don't know a need for play. If you need play then you need Punch In Time Selection mode right ?

[Outboarder]

Yeah, it's just an another version.

[Coachz]

Most excellent!

[karbomusic]

Sweet! Nice job!

[lexaproductions]

Not sure If I understand the question properly but can't you just use the reaConsole for this?

Open the console and type: !"YourActionCommandID"

This should add an action marker at the cursor position.

Your can make yourself a whole bunch of Cycle Action Using the console command and fire them at will with key shortcuts

[Coachz]

That's another great idea!

[hopi]

nice script... thanks easy to modify...

so now I have toolbar items for intro, verse 1,2,3,4, chorus and bridge and outro....

the basics for little songs... sweet....

[Dan Lewis]

Thanks for this Script i have been looking for something like this for a while!
I am looking at using this to automate dropping track markers into a live recording going on in conjunction with MIDI triggers from the scenes on my mixing console.
I was wondering if it's possible to make this script only drop markers when reaper is actually recording? That way when using reaper to play back and doing a virtual soundcheck recalling scenes on the console wont drop extra markers when they are not wanted.

I think this sort of functionality in Reaper is really going to help my day to day work flow!

Cheers

Dan.

[timbralzoom]

exactly what i was looking for .. Thank you so much Outboarder!!

Just to note, action markers are not 100% timing accurate though, they can add a bit of latency / jitter.
