Action: "Start new files during recording" and recpass

[Gass n Klang]

hey guys,
for the recorded filename I use $recpass. That works well but the action "start new file during recording" doesn't increment $recpass.

Bump.

This is a known issue, the $recpass wildcard is incompatible with the option to start new files during recording. When that option is enabled, REAPER creates file handles in advance so they can be used immediately as needed without interrupting processing, which means the file is created before the $recpass value is known.

ah ok thanks for making this clear. I'm just searching for possibilities to create proper "take" numbers. It's needed for classical / jazz recordings where takes are recorded sequentially one after another as well as for the new fixed lane system.

There might be a way to improve this to be a bit more useful, stay tuned
