Auto Flip Polarity on Track + Pre-Fader Sends

[foxAsteria]

I've been having a lot of success using the "invert phase" switch to help multitrack drums sound great together, but recently realized that they are not at all as great as they could be...if I ever remembered to also flip the polarity of the pre-fader buss sends!

Could we please have a modifier or shortcut that automatically inverts pre-fader send polarities when doing so on the track? I.e. holding alt while clicking the track phase button could flip polarity for any pre-fader sends as well. Or, honestly I think this should be default, since it's more than likely that we want phase coherent sends, right? It might not be obvious that we should do this or we might forget...

Does this also matter for post fader sends? No, because they're fed from after the inversion, right?

Oh dang. Disheartening that this is such an old topic and hasn't been addressed...

Even just an action to flip send polarity would help. Then at least the process could be reduced to a single action.

[mpl]

Here is 'Flip polarity for selected tracks pre-fader sends' lua

for i = 1, reaper.CountSelectedTracks(0) do
  local tr = reaper.GetSelectedTrack(0,i-1)
  for sendidx = 1, reaper.GetTrackNumSends( tr, 0 ) do
    local mode = reaper.GetTrackSendInfo_Value( tr, 0, sendidx-1, 'I_SENDMODE' )
    local polarity = reaper.GetTrackSendInfo_Value( tr, 0, sendidx-1, 'B_PHASE' )
    if mode == 1 then 
      reaper.SetTrackSendInfo_Value( tr, 0, sendidx-1, 'B_PHASE', math.abs(1- polarity) )
    end
  end
end

mpl rules! Thanks, dude, I'll try that out tonite.

you can also fix it earlier in the chain by inverting the items.

Yea but I'd prefer to see some visual indication, plus I tend to have many items on a track, so not too convenient that way.

@mpl - Hi, can this script be made to accurately report toggle state and/or also invert the track polarity? I tried to combine them into a cycle action, but the toggles are not always synced. Thanks, man!
