Take marker while recording

tohubohu · 11-11-2023, 01:08 PM

Hello,
Is it possible to add a take marker while recording?
When I'm doing research on the piano for several hours and then recording, I'd like to be able to add a take marker on the fly by quickly pressing a shortcut key when I think the idea is good and I'll have to come back to it later.
Thanks

Yes, the actions to add or quick add take markers at the mouse or play position will work on currently-recording items.

Ok thanks

I'm sorry, but it doesn't seem to be working properly.

Hmm... working as expected here on V7.03 with Windows 7.

tohubohu · 11-15-2023, 12:55 AM

Mac OS 10.15
reaper 7.03 or 7.05
it doesn't work

Is the mouse down when you are trying to run the action to add the take marker?

tohubohu · 11-15-2023, 08:41 AM

I don't use the mouse. I'm at the piano and I press N and nothing happens.

tohubohu · 11-15-2023, 08:59 AM

the mouse doesn't move

dug dog · 11-15-2023, 09:05 AM

Can you test to see if other actions, assigned to computer keyboard short-cuts, execute properly in the same recording scenario?

tohubohu · 11-15-2023, 11:50 AM

"insert marker at current position".
I tested with the action: "insert marker at current position".
it works, but if I move the editing cursor while recording, it doesn't work anymore.
in the pre-release version of November 15, it seems to have stopped working altogether.

quick add take marker...
it doesn't work any better

I see you are recording MIDI in the screencap. Does it work when you record audio? Are you recording MIDI to MIDI items in-project (default) or to .mid files?

tohubohu · 11-15-2023, 12:36 PM

yes, it works with an audio recording, but not midi.
is it possible to make it work on a midi recording please?

You can check this in "Preferences>Media>MIDI".

tohubohu · 11-15-2023, 01:12 PM

ok thanks

midi items in-project

schwa · 11-15-2023, 02:36 PM

OK, I think you are recording in MIDI overdub or replace mode? If so, we probably have a fix.

tohubohu · 11-15-2023, 02:43 PM

ah yes in overdub

I've just tested in 'audio and midi' recording and the take marker insertion works, but not in midi overdub...

There is a certain Reaper beauty in this thread

tohubohu · 11-16-2023, 03:57 PM

and a quick question,
is it normal not to be able to split the item while recording?

schwa · 11-17-2023, 03:57 AM

Yes, definitely. While recording it's not even really a media item yet, instead it is a preview of what the media item will be.

tohubohu · 11-17-2023, 04:24 AM

ok thanks
