Duplicating track without FX

[_Stevie_]

I'm not familiar with track state chunks and I heard horrible things about them, lol

Could anyone give me a hint how to duplicate a track without FX?

Currently, I'm duplicating the track and then removing the FX chain, however this still loads the FX and then removes it.

I think it would be "cleaner" to create a new track and then apply the "cleaned" (without FX) state chunk.

chunks are awesome but can be durty on some applications, in this case It should be clean, just clean the fxchain references on the chunk before you set it in the new track. it should work fine.


If there is an action to disable all fxchain plugins (or you make it yourself) , you can maybe use this in order to avoid editing the chunk directly.

Depends how you want to make it.

Do you know Eugen's chunk editor script?

I find it a quite great tool for messing around with track chunks (for investigation).
(It's missing the indention of the subchunks though..)

Anyway, if you want to go the chunk route I think what you'd need to do is get the track state chunk (https://www.extremraym.com/cloud/rea...rackStateChunk), strip out the <FXCHAIN ...> subchunk (marked in the pic, e.g. with Lua string functions) then set it in the newly created track.
Not tried myself though..



edit:
already said by deeb above, missed that, sorry.

edit2:
If you look at a saved .rpp in a text editor, the subchunks are indented which makes it a bit clearer. It's basically some kind of XML format, but you may know this already.
