I need a script to set send volume to inf or 0 value

EduSerra · 07-22-2021, 01:10 PM

Hello.

When bussing, sometimes I need to create a send with it´s gain value at inf or at 0. To do so I have to go to preferences/Tracksend defaults and change the value by typing it. Can someone create a pair of scripts like this:

Set send/Track Hardware Output to 0dB
Set send/Track Hardware Output to -inf

That would speed up this process. If this scripts already exists, please point me in the right direction, thanks.

Welcome to the forum!

Are you talking about this setting?

If yes and you have SWS extension installed, try make scripts like this,..

Code:

-- set to +0.0
reaper.SNM_SetDoubleConfigVar("defhwvol", 1.0)

Code:

-- set to -inf
reaper.SNM_SetDoubleConfigVar("defhwvol", 0.0)

Note, if I exit and restart reaper the original value is restored. I've not tested the scripts either, but re-opening preferences does show the scripts changed that value.

This is really interesting. I would love to have the send value to -inf for send effect and +0 for internal buss routing!

I'll try your script soon Edgemeal!

can add

Code:

reaper.BR_Win32_WritePrivateProfileString("reaper", "defhwvol", <thevalue>, reaper.get_ini_file())

and it should persist after Reaper restart.

Ya nice! For some reason I was thinking the setting was going to get overwritten by REAPER on exit.

Not exactly sure what you're referring to

, I'm a light weight DAW user and don't even know REAPER all that well, I just know a handful of things to get by.

If I can't find function in REAPER API then I search the Config Variables page, see, Introduction to Config Variables
https://mespotin.uber.space/Ultrasch...l#Introduction , And a great post by nofish on how to enable, disable, toggle some settings, https://forum.cockos.com/showpost.ph...52&postcount=2, should help get started.

Yes but what I want is the sends setting. Be able to set it to -inf or to 0 value and assign that script/action to a pair of shortcuts.

Can you please be more specific and make it for the send default gain not hardware output default gain, please.

Thanks
