Default Pressing play getting plugin on track

Every time I'm pressing play In Reaper, that track that is highlighted I'm getting a plugin on that track. If I press play 10 times I'm getting 10 same plugins on the same track.

How do I fix this?

It is possible That I have asked this before.

Hello- it would seem you might have mapped that key to a shortcut that either duplicates fx or w/e.
Check shortcut settings in action list?

According to the Undo history display in the main menu bar, it triggers a SWS/S&M: Resources - Paste FX chain to selected tracks Action.

So, as ninjedi already suggested, check the shortcut assignment in the Action List.

Strange I have checked the shortcut assignment in the Action List. But no shortcut at all there, I even removed Sound Toys Echo Boy from the Resources list, but it only jumped to the next in line on the Resources list.

If you haven't already, try this:
  1. Click on the [Find shortcut...] button at the top of the Action List window
  2. Then press the shortcut you're using for triggering play
  3. And see if any Actions are highlighted or found this way

Otherwise, what shortcut are you currently pressing for triggering play in this case?

Nothing special there I'm using Space as a shortcut for play.
But the thing is that it doesn't matter if press play with mouse or pressing space bar same resault.

OK. Very strange that pressing play with the mouse has the same effect.

So I'm wondering if there are perhaps any scripts running in the background that might be triggering the Action when playback is active?
For testing purposes: try if using the ReaScript: Close all running ReaScripts Action makes any difference.

Or do you perhaps have any (MIDI) Control Surface extensions installed which might be causing this?

Otherwise, I'd suggest to make a fresh portable install to a separate folder (side-by-side to your existing install) to check if the behavior is the same there: http://lacinato.com/cm/blog/25-reaperportable


EDIT:

Just in case: although the FX chain window doesn't seem to be in focus in the videos: does it make any difference when no FX window is open?

I tried ReaScript: Close all running ReaScripts, that did not help.
Only have midi keyboard connected, I have Metagrid on Ipad, but that is not working right for some reason.

I think it has something to with SWS/S&M: Resources, but don't know what.

the fresh portable install did work.

I could not come up with a better solution than reset Reaper; I had an older version from Aug 2020, not having all I had in the newer version but at least there is no auto load of the plugin.

Hello- go back to what you had and check the exact action it's calling- look at the history and find the hidden shortcut that your triggering.. seems awfully odd otherwise.

history only shows a bit of the name, so I don't know what it is, and can't find the shortcut. But it is triggered when pressing the play button also.

Interesting- if i look at undo history here using windows10 with menu option view/undo history (ctrl+alt+z) it shows full naming of actions used?

Even if it only shows a bit ot the action name, type that bit into the action filter, and see if any of the results have a shortcut assigned to them. If so, look at those to see if one of them looks like it might be the culprit.

I tried that, the problem is I don't know if it is a shortcut problem or not, since the problem also occurs when pressing play with a mouse and not using a shortcut

Shure did that but only showing half of the name, so I can't see exactly see what short is used.


See here, this is only an example, not the reel shortcut used

I'm not at my Reaper PC to verify, but try dragging the separation bar between column in the header to see if you can expand the field to show more.

Not sure what you meaning, but making the windov bigger does not help.

Yeah, it's really strange.

Since you posted that the fresh portable install works, it looks like something in your current config got somehow messed up or corrupted (for whatever reason).


But just to double-check: does this make any difference?
  1. Deleting the 'Space' shortcut from the Transport: Play/stop Action
  2. And then re-assigning 'Space' to it

Or are perhaps any Cycle Actions (Extensions > Cycle Action editor) set up that contain the 'Resources - Paste FX chain ... ' Action?
