regarding the reaeq action, i just had a go at it and it works fine for adding one instance but it won't add more after that. is this expected behavior? there are instances where i'd want multiple eqs in different location of the signal chain.

also i'm having glitches with the playback cursor, with continuous scrolling on. not sure if it happens without. i'll do some testing. and i've been having a hard time with the mouse cursors sometimes not updating properly, which can make editing a real pain.

also i've been having a lot of crashes on osx lately. i'm pretty sure most, if not all, wouldn't happen on a fresh install, but what good is that to me? i'd like to work with my config. uploaded the crash report. (i'm not using the most current pre btw.)

Love the new continuous scrolling mode. Is this accessible anywhere outside of the actions list? I would have expected to find it in settings too, alongside all the other scrolling options.

As others have stated in previous pre threads regarding the new continuous scrolling feature, I'd also prefer it if the Media Item Buttons and the Media Item Names would scroll until the left of the screen is reached, and then stay there until the item goes off screen, just like it does with standard page style scrolling. I use those buttons a lot to quickly solo and mute media items when playing back. Also, buttons and text look quite glitchy when continuous scrolling is on.

I can also confirm Some Guy's comment regarding the new reaeq action. It only inserts one instance of reaeq per track. If that's by design, that's cool with me. Just wanted to report it if it's not intended.

Also want to report a little glitch. When continuous scrolling engages, there is a small glitch where all the waveforms jerk to the right about 5 pixels or so before scrolling left.

Here's a licecap:



It's not a major issue, but is a little visually disconcerting. It throws me a little when I see these kind of minor glitches.

Default knob_stack niggle

As nobody else has reported this I'm assuming it's just me.

The vol, pan and wid knob stacks of both the tcp and mcp display their old knob images beneath/behind them, or if they're not present the gen_knob_bg ones.
If you use a circular image, chances are the old ones will be covered and you'll never notice, but if you don't...

Steve

Sadly the attachment manager keep changing the png example I want to attach into a jpg!

https://stash.reaper.fm/13277/tcp_wid_knob_stack.png

Got one, if you use this you should be able to see part of anything beneath.

This suggestion makes sense to me, at least when the option "Show labels when item edges not visible" is enabled.

It's the little toothed sprocket-wheel thingie engaging with the edit-film behind your screen -might be loose in your monitor

Actually, I quite like it (but some think me a little odd anyway) -can we take it home and keep it?


Edit: and what Superfly/Nicholas says, too...

Haha, on OSX it delays, then speeds up, then slows down again like a tape transport and I like that too (but I'm odd, too). There also something funny going on with filled envelopes: https://stash.reaper.fm/13280/funny_effect2.gif

Hi,
my proposal and opinion to extend the action (41757),

a. Insert ReaEQ on a selected Track (now it is)

b. if ReaEQ exist on a selected Track and the ReaEQ Window is closed, then open ReaEQ FX-Window to get/set ReaEQ parameters on the selected Track.

c: if ReaEQ exist on a selected Track and the ReaEQ Window is open get/set ReaEQ parameters, then close ReaEQ Window on the selectet Track.


that would be great for a faster Workflow and to integrate on DAW-Controlers.

sorry for bad english
Albert

Actually what I think would be the best solution would be some sort of .ini file that we could add the names of whatever plugins including 3rd party vsts and then the ones listed in the .ini file would receive actions in the actions list. This would be similar to what the SWS team does with some of their actions.

Thanks,

SWS method is great, however for some complex custom actions the native method (without track templates) would be much faster. Well at least just ReaComp to the pair with ReaEQ would be awesome!

No, that wouldn't be user-friendly. In my opinion this should be in a new page in Preferences with several options like the ones albert.moest suggested. Then we could have actions.

Really? How hard would it be to copy the plugins name from the "Add FX" dialog and paste it into a text file?

The problem I would have with this is.., that it would mean the Preferences dialog would have another list to populate.., which if you have a lot of plugins it could take a little while.., plus it would add to REAPERs memory overhead.

How about this..? A couple of right-click menu options in the "Add FX" dialog. Users could right-click on a plugin and select either "Add to actions" or "Remove from actions"

Whatever the solution I'm sure it would probably require a restart of REAPER for the actions to be added to the list.

It won't be hard for users like us. For someone who's learning REAPER it won't be that easy to find. Features like this should be easy to find, in my opinion.

It would be for ReaPlugs only.

That would be a good idea but it has to be done in the Fx Browser, in my opinion, not in the "Add FX" dialog.

Easy and quick, only listed in Actions with her own Actions-ID´s and with the 3in1 Options
- add if not exist
- if exist - Toggle View (open / Close)

I don't like the idea of it being only for ReaPlugs.., to be honest I find much left to be desired with ReaPlugs. I do use them but vary rarely. I find them to be more buggy and glitchy then alot of 3rd party equivalents.

One thing I find totally annoying about them is when automating or modulating their parameters the sliders on the default UI completely lag.., you have to switch to the generic UI in order to have a decent readout of the activity.

Agree. Bottom line imo, audio plugs are all "known" to the application on launch. It shouldn't be necessary to limit it at all, but just have an action that can load any plug, and let the user decide which plugs they wish to attach or bind.

If that's already in SWS he has the right idea. Loading a plug (any plug) is a really common thing so I don't see the need to limit a thing like this to specific plugs or specific mfg's plugs.

It's not just about loading plugins, it's about REAPER knowing about every parameter and (more importantly) understanding how exactly they relate. We need a framework to classify plugin types and parameters in a generic manner before this can work as intended.

Those who have studied the default OSC control surface configuration of the latest string of pre-releases already know that even for a relatively simple plugin such as ReaEQ, this involves a pretty elaborate scheme. I've pasted the relevant part here, just so you get an idea of the level of complexity required for handling a single plugin (type):

To be honest, this set of message patterns was already a bit too overwhelming for me to play around and get comfortable with (also, I tend to avoid using EQ as much as I can, and don't like ReaEQ as far as EQ goes anyway).

But do note that this scheme could be applied to other EQ's as well. Imho we should rather be testing this stuff first (as far as I have seen, nobody has really tested it yet while it's been there for months) and discussing if the existing functionality suffices, before we move on and discuss how it can best be generalized to other EQ effect plugins, and in a similar vein, what sets of parameters would best fit other generic plugin types (e.g. dynamics). To me it seems to make a lot of sense to start with EQ plugins only at first, since they may be the most generic type of effect, and one would expect to see them on a any mixer, whether real or virtual.

Next up, it seems to make most sense to add ReaComp and ReaGate. If we get a similar scheme for them, the basics of a 'channel strip' type of setup are pretty much covered. Then, if we could use *different* image stacks for each Track FX knob on the TCP/MCP, and have their number bumped up from the meagre 16 to 64 or so...

Inserting tempo change issue:

(- project timebase: Beats (position, length, rate))
- enable snap/grid on 1/32 notes;
- move cursor to start (1.1.00);
- insert tempo change at 1.1.00: 100 BPM;
- move cursor to 1.1.13 / 0:00.075;
- insert another tempo change, e.g. 150 BPM.

Result: the tempo change appears on a different location than it is expected; in this case, slightly to the right of the cursor, and the 1.1.13 indicator is moved from 0:00.075 to 0:00.078 (and the grid between the tempo changes, incorrectly):



Then, if one clicks on the tempo change, it 'automatically' gets dragged to the location where one would expect it to have appeared, back at 0:00.075:



My hunch is that this issue is caused by the fact that REAPER is not using ticks but 1/100ths of a beat here, and is rounding them off incorrectly: 1.1.13 should really be 1.1.12,5, exactly halfway between 1.1.00 and 1.1.25. How about REAPER being slightly more consistent and just use the ticks per quarter note setting from the preferences (default: 960) ?

(While testing this, I also experienced an issue that may be related, where I play a short MIDI clip that is looped and dragged out over a few measures, with REAPER playing over those few measures in a cycle, it stopped playing once every other handful of cycles. I have not yet been able to reproduce it though).

I must be missing something really important here as I don't understand why it has to be so complex. I will apologize to Ivan in advance for using the example below, but it's relevant to what we're talking about. It's a single action that will load any plug or any chain (or any plug or chain preset) and the user doesn't have to do anything but select one and save the action.

So when people talk about users typing in plug names into an *.ini file and all that I'm lost as to what's potentially happening differently there that doesn't happen when you load a plug manually.

It's just a simple action that loads any plug. What else should it do? Once the plug is actually loaded... doesn't the DAW already know every parameter?



I'm obviously missing something.

I think that is how it (currently) is supposed to work. I'm deducing that from the comments in the default OSC configuration (presupposing that these are related to the action), that does not seem to allow targeting multiple instances on the same track using EQ-specific messages:

Code:
# DEVICE_EQ determines whether sending any FX_EQ message will automatically insert
# ReaEQ on the target track if it does not exist, or the message will only affect
# an existing instance of ReaEQ.
# Allowed values: INSERT, EXISTING

Sorry to hear about your problems, but:
(1) I'm guessing that crash report goes to Apple, and I wouldn't count on them promptly forwarding it to Cockos or actually reading it with any particular interest themselves;
(2) You should really be posting the issue(s) you have in the relevant thread to the version you're using, or (better!) update to the latest pre first and then post here.

Here's how I see it: in order to understand the current direction of development of this new insert ReaEQ action, one should see it in the its original context, and thus not look at it as an isolated action that is (unfortunately) restricted to one particular plugin, but rather as a byproduct of the much more elaborate scheme for controlling ReaEQ from control surfaces that I referred to above.

One could also ask: now where are the other bunch of native REAPER actions related to controlling ReaEQ? Why do the OSC guys get all the love? AGAIN??

Yeah, that's why I thought I must be missing something important. I thought the earlier short discussion was about loading plugs via actions but (I guess?) it will or is supposed to later do much more than that, load a plug and also attach / bind it's parameters to a control surface at the same time or something?

If so, yeah, those are really two different things and that's (I suppose) what I missing, what happens differently (after loading) when you load a plug manually, and control it via a control surface, that would happen when you load it with an action and control it with a control surface.

There's obviously a bit of proposed automation or something different that's going over my head here. Thanks.

As far as I understand (as I said before, I haven't really tested this yet), REAPER currently does that for ReaEQ already. But not (yet) for any other plugin. So I'm kind of expecting/hoping other plugins to follow, but rather top-down than bottom-up, so to speak: an 'insert this specific plugin' action only makes sense when there's something specific about that plugin, e.g. that it can be controlled from a control surface and provides feedback to it (for example, one can now easily get/set ReaEQ parameters as dB and Hz). That is how I understand this particular action / set of OSC message patterns anyway.

I'm not sure it's all that different as far as REAPER is concerned; but again, the "proposed" bits probably already work as we speak. Which I think explains exactly why the new action is specific to one plugin, and why is not 'restrictive', but is still being developed.

If anything is to blame for currently having such features available 'only' for ReaEQ, it the user community (including myself) for not yet having done any useful testing on these features for the first prototype test case. We did not show any interest in it at all, so why would the developers prioritize working on it?

<bumps testing OSC support for ReaEQ a few places up personal to-do list>

Ok, I understand, that's where our thinking is diverging a bit.

It makes sense to me (mmv of course) just as a practical matter, even if you don't have a control surface, to fire an action to load a specific audio plug that you might use a lot (comp, EQ, whatever) without browsing lists of all available plugs. So I was looking at it more as a general workflow thing than as a control surface thing.

Thanks Banned. I think I understand your thinking a bit better. And the OSC stuff is way over my head.

Well, I do agree on it being a workflow thing. But just the same, firing an action to control a plugin is arguably just as useful, also without a control surface. And I guess I'm not arguing that any "insert plugin X" action *should* follow from a more elaborate control scheme, I'm only pointing out that it actually did so in this particular case, because that bit of context seemed to have been overlooked in the discussion.

Tbh, I think the entire 'control surface' label is somewhat of a misnomer, and obscures the fact that it exposes functionality that can be used much more generally. The (OSC) control surface stuff is very useful even without any (OSC) control surface. Much as MIDI is useful even without having a physical MIDI keyboard attached.

As far as workflow is concerned, I'm imagining a no-too-distant future where we can somehow organize our favorite EQ plugins to have their (basic) parameters mapped to the same set of actions / remote control message patterns, and link them to dedicated Track FX knobs, so we can easily switch between our favorite EQs, while keeping their controls mapped to dedicated knobs and buttons on the TCP/MCP, control surfaces, etc. Then do the same for a couple of other basic plugin types (probably dynamics are most important), and we have a fully customizable virtual 'console' setup. Sounds like a plan, doesn't it?

well i uploaded the last crash report as a text file and thought it would post a link automatically, but that didn't seem to work out.

meanwhile i've updated to the last release and have had another crash. this time on changing screenset.

So I'm kind of expecting/hoping other plugins to follow, but rather top-down than bottom-up, so to speak: an 'insert this specific plugin' action only makes sense when there's something specific about that plugin, e.g. that it can be controlled from a control surface and provides feedback to it (for example, one can now easily get/set ReaEQ parameters as dB and Hz). That is how I understand this particular action / set of OSC message patterns anyway.

I'm not sure it's all that different as far as REAPER is concerned; but again, the "proposed" bits probably already work as we speak. Which I think explains exactly why the new action is specific to one plugin, and why is not 'restrictive', but is still being developed.

If anything is to blame for currently having such features available 'only' for ReaEQ, it the user community (including myself) for not yet having done any useful testing on these features for the first prototype test case. We did not show any interest in it at all, so why would the developers prioritize working on it?

<bumps testing OSC support for ReaEQ a few places up personal to-do list>
So, am I to understand that when we use the new action to insert Reaeq, that the parameters will automatically be mapped to a specific controller? That would be nice (though not necessarily for Reaeq, but it's a start).

We already have SWS actions to insert a certain number of your favorite plugins (limited to a dozen plus or minus, IIRC). So I'm hoping that I'm understanding you correctly and that this new action does something more than just insert the plugin on the track.

I'll have to test this out later tonight...
