Yeah, that's a nice workflow. What I want is a way to just quickly hear how it sounds when a sample is pitched up and down. So I'd be excited if there were a series of actions to change the pitch by semitones, without having to drag the knob. It would be even better if it was playable with the virtual MIDI keyboard, just like a sampler.

^ absolutely, i think MX tuning actions are a great idea. users could assign the same keys for semitone/cent adjustments as they use in the arrange view - great continuity.

Marking the files you have already played with a darker hightlight/background would be nice. Then you can visually have a "history" view of what files you have already heard.

Can I check something in 6.16?
In 6.15 I had this bug https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=244715
where I select an audio item and choose action "preview media item source media", it opens the media explorer and plays the file but doesn't go to the correct folder (defaults to the last opened folder I think) until I close the media explorer and run the action again.
This is still present for me in 6.16 but now, the file being previewed doesn't highlight anymore which it did in 6.15...eventually :-)
Can anyone confirm?

The problem is that using the Media Explorer toolbar makes Media Explorer inactive.
The solution is the following options.
1 Attach the toolbar to Media Explorer.
2 Add "Keep Media Explorer active when using the Media Explorer Toolbar" as a display option.
In case of 2, if there is a display option "Synchronize the display of the Media Explorer toolbar with the opening and closing of the Media Explorer", a floating toolbar can be used instead.
However, those who frequently move the windows of Media Explorer will feel stressed.
The Media Explorer update has made it dramatically easier to use.
I appreciate it very much.

a few notes on the MX sample preview window:
1- i noticed that the units of the "time" display in the bottom left of the window is in "minutes/seconds" only. many oneshots display as "0.00/0.00" ... it might be good to get a ms display for samples shorter than 10 seconds.
2- more importantly, watch what happens when i zoom in all the way on a start of a sample, and then count how many mousewheel flicks i have to make in order to zoom back out with the mousewheel (the cursor kind of hops with every mousewheel flick):
that's 24 mousewheel flicks, vs something like 2 or 3 in the Arrange window!

I didn't try it , but before It was not available on Mac, I think this changed in the latest releases, but did not try yet.
Still the suggestion would really nice: to select a default sampler , pity there is no protocol in plugins (afaik)
I would be pretty happy if time stretch would be kept when dragging from ME to samplers

Hi guys, I've been using the media explorer quite a bit lately and for the most part I've set it up to do what I want. What I feel would be a really valuable feature is some sort of volume normalization, as I've noticed that I tend to give loud samples a preferential treatment and just skip lower volume samples.
I'm guessing that I'm not the only one having this issue, so I'm really curious about how other people handle this. Is it common practice to periodically normalize your sample library?

Is there a way to have auto-play enabled but not have the preview start playing when dragging a file into the arrange view? I usually keep auto play on to quickly go through samples with the arrow keys, but when I drag something into the arrange I want to hear it in the context of the arrange view, not in the media explorer. Maybe this is something that could be scripted?

This is annoying me too. I have posted it several times on pre-release threads with changes regarding the media explorer, but seems like neither the developers nor other users care about it.

This works only when you first click a file to start preview and afterwards drag it.
But when directly dragging a previously unselected file, the playback starts as soon as I move the mouse instead of not starting at all (as I would expect when not releasing the left mouse button).
This is annoying in cases where one knows the contet of a file and just wants to drag it into the arrange without hearing it. Currently autoplay needs to be turned off, or you will inevitably hear the file.
Here a little video that shows this:
https://vimeo.com/495514814
When selecting the first file I want to hear it and afterwards import and there it works as expected.
When selecting the second file I want to import it without hearing it but it starts preview when dragging.

So I did test it a bit more and noticed something peculiar.
I have "auto-stop preview when dragging media" enabled and drag the same selected sample into the arrange, most of the times it starts the preview, sometimes it doesn't.
When I disable the option, it never starts the preview (also doesn't stop it though).

Is "Auto-stop preview when inserting media" active? In your gif it looks like it isn't.
Anyway your Reaper seems to behave different than mine. Yours starts preview only when the media is dropped in the arrange while mine starts it as soon as I drag. Difficult to say what is going on.

Both auto-stop options are active (It's also visible in the GIF in the actions list).
Hmm, might be a Linux thing as well. Not sure.

Made a gif that shows it better. The option "Auto-stop preview when dragging media" triggers the preview being started. At least when dragging the already selected file. When dragging a not selected file, it always triggers the preview as you described.

media explorer column order
When I create a custom column order, it is not recalled reliably, even within the same session. The column width and show/hide status recall correctly, but the order always changes.
I've even tried re-saving a screenset with my preferred column order, but this doesn't make a difference - as soon as I switch to a different screenset and back again, the column order is changed.
I can't find this mentioned by anyone else so I feel it must be user error. But I've run out of ideas! Thanks.

Are you switching between the +dev build and official release by any chance?

Hi, yes same here on macOS10.14 and up. AFAIK reordering columns works as expected on other platforms.
I have reported it, but haven't noticed any response, perhaps it isn't considered as a bug: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=247154
- might as well cross-post into this thread:
Reordering browser columns on mac.
When un-docked, new ordering is kept in the same Reaper-session, but after restart it get mixed up.
And when docked, the column ordering in new instances, same session, isn't kept at all.
– behavior here on mac:
.
edit,
@schwa, same issue occurs when running an isolated 6.19GM portable install, as well as +dev (on separate system).

Check the latest +dev build. Apparently docking/undocking the media explorer was causing issues with the column order not being retained and that's been fixed.

Another thing to note when using the Media Explorer on mac:
Character code map
Apparently the MX is using another character code map compared to macOS, and, if the user have organized content by using special character as first letter, they will appear in different order inside MX.
macOS Finder dialogs from inside Reaper isn’t affected meaning there’s a difference within the application.
Volume normalization:
a 1kHz sine at full scale show 0.0dB calculated, and looks to be correct in MX, but, when normalized and inserted, it changes to -0.09 dB which is also the peak value when measured externally going out of Reaper. How come this reduction only from MX norm.?
[Fixed] Media Explorer: Apply normalized volume to inserted media item
When inserting two or more media files at the same time, all of which have been peak normalized, only the value of the first media item is automatically applied, not the following items. Expected: normalized volume should be applied to all item inserts.

is there a way to exclude from search in ME?
Something like search: "hats ~mid"
this would exclude listing files with "mid" in it's name or extension
Thank you!

Yes, in search you can set criteria with the following: AND, OR, NOT.
- to exclude extensions, the dot is needed (at least here on mac):
ex1: "hats NOT .mid"
ex2: "hat OR hh NOT .mid"
ex3: "hat OR ride NOT .mid"
.

– ha ha, I thought this was kind of basic, works most places Reaper
I wish there was also rules for numeric properties like; is 'LESS' than , is 'GREATER' than, or ‘ EQUALS’.
I use Spotlight for this kind of search, e.g. to filter for rate, bit depth, length etc.

i've used the p2p software Soulseek for more than a decade, and their filter works a little differently...i'd been working up to a FR for a Soulseek style filter, but it was here in a different form all along

Hey you're welcome!
I guess you found the extra option in regard to preview stop.
– if of any use to you, or others:
Each of these stops previewing when items are dragged into arrangement [on MB release]:
MX Context > Options > Auto-stop preview when dragging media
MX Actions: Auto-stop preview when dragging media
* When both of the above are active, the preview already stops [on MB drag]
– perhaps an accidental function, however this is how it works here, which I actually prefer.

WHAT?!
Thank you for this, this is a life-changing tip, I had no idea.
I figured out that the SWS windows implement this same behavior, using the standard logical operators ("|" for "OR", "&" for "AND").
I tried these + the doubled versions ("||" and "&&") in the Media Explorer before but they didn't work.
I never would have thought to try typing out "AND" and "OR". Simply amazing.

When I delete files in MX the ListView display shows this.
I have to manually refresh the list.
This is weird!? Known bug?

I think it's better to report in the pre-release thread, because it seems it is new.

Well seems its not new, just tried v6.16 & v6.18 and they act same way.
EDIT Fixed in v6.19+dev0107 - January 7 2021

Feature request (probably too far out):
I'd find it handy if we could preview the contents of Project bays via Media explorer. Because Project Bay preview capability is rather limited (just a Play/Stop button, no seeking, waveform view etc., all the goodies the ME has anyway.) I've once written about it here.
edit:
Though nowadays a suitable alternative is creating a new database and collect potentially to be later used audiofiles for a project there.

Anyone know if it’s possible to control the extents of the waveform selection with a external controller ? Couldn’t find shortcuts in the menu for this. I’m referring to what is highlighted (start , end) area when you drag in the preview box at the bottom of the media explorer

Feature Request:
Can we please have a Track Number column (metadata) in the media explorer?
Also, when I batch convert (in REAPER) an album from flac to mp3 and keep the metadata everything copies fine except track number.
thanks
