Track VST and SENDS as Pro Tools?

[BartR]

Dear all,

is it possible to have the VST and SENDS on each track as it is on PT?
I find this way very ergonomic, for my way to work.

Here I put in attachment a mockup I've made, in order to be more clear.

I thank you very much

Not possible.

You can create a track inspector

The inspector method, which is keeping a small mixer view visible for the currently selected track(or last touched as it were), works ok.


I like PTs method too. It's a case by case issue. You miss it, but I no longer do, because I mostly use controllers for everything now, and I bring up plugin GUIs with controllers as well.


Search for "UI for FX" in the action list for those commands, if you'd like to take a look.

Well, you can click on TCP FX button to choose, which plugin you want to open. Yeah, I know it's not the best solution, but you should live with it for now.

[BartR]

Yes, side mixer solution I did try it, and it is let's say "Steinbergish"
Wich is good, although not immediate as the one of PT ... as you all can understand

Well, so far I understand, I have just to give up and hope to a new release that includes it.

Thanks a million to everybody

I guess I just don't ever need to access that stuff from the Arrange window. I've noticed that like Dave Pensado never even looks at any kind of mixer view in ProTools, and most of the functions that we have in the mixer are just right there in what we call Arrange. I generally just have the mixer docked at the bottom and what I select in either is selected and scrolled to in the other and instead of clicking something to the left I click something toward the bottom and it just works. If I need more real estate in the Arrange window, it's generally to do something in the timeline and doesn't really require messing with sends or plugs anyway, so hide or scale down the mixer until I need it again.

Ultimately, though, it really is just a matter of where you're moving your mouse to to do what you want to do. It's about the same distance, mostly the same gestures, just in a different direction.

It's a heck of a lot better than having to turn around or get up and go over to the rack and then try to remember which of the compressors is patched onto which track and...

Well, independently from Pensado, I can see Warren Huart and he's using it ... I'm working on my projects Thus what's important is the ergonomic inside them.
I do find that to have immediately up there the SEND and the INSERTS it's really comf.
And I do hope really, in next releases, developers keep into consideration this
It will be great!!

Thanks to DOPPLEGANGER for this fantastic DLL.
I do hope it will be permanently included in Reaper

Ah ok ... I didn't notice the date :-D Sorry :-D

Every workaround is a pain in the ass.
While routing in reaper is really powerful, the workflow to manage the sends on the fly is a joke/ unwelcome puzzle.

Track inspector / channel settings are the resume of everything on a track by track perspective. 95 % of the time I would use , instead in this moment 95% of the time I am having pain to do anything related with sends and fxchain - opening several panels per minute in order to gather the info I need to do simple tasks.

I use the 'mcp as track inspector' method... but I also use
the HeDa VIP Track Inspector.... which you might want to look into

it can show the list of FX for each track if you set it up to show that

and it can do a LOT more...

it costs you a min donation of about 5 bucks to get the HeDa VIP stuff but what you get for that is huge... go look on the JSFX area of the forum

HI Hopi,

just out of curiosity, can you please show me a screenshot of HeDa VIP Track Inspector where each track is shown with it's FXs/Sends please?

I just want o be sure it's what I'm talking about

the 'MCP' I use already since awhile in another screenset

[hopi]

clk the thumbnail to see full size

here is one example but it is my config of the HeDa VIP Track Inspector
It is highly adjustable to show or hide it's parts, change colors, etc., etc.

But in this view you can see two FX on that track
clk them and the FX GUI pops up

also the Inspector can be floating but here is docked at the right of TCP
you can just drag the size of it to taste

The one thing that I would love above anything else in Reaper.. Would love to be able to just not use the mixer at all..

[mehmethan]

check fxlist script.
