It takes a long time to make stuff visible and not visible, mainly because as far as I know no actions exist to make plugin parameters and no parameters at all visible or not visible. I would probably leave that on all the time, since I automate the living daylights out of EQs, compressors and reverbs.ĭisplaying just three parameters on one track makes it very difficult to edit with decent speed. A possible action is "Arm parameters of Plugin 1", and so on.Īn option to arm all automation on newly added plugins may be useful too. The volume can stay in TOUCH mode.Īdditional "Arm All" buttons, tied to actions, for each plugin or at least for all fx.
You'll probably be switching the effects to READ, WRITE or LATCH only. Therefore, keeping a seperate automation mode for one section containing the volume and pan parameters, and one seperate for the effects, you can work away, no problem. I can't do that shit over and over and over without losing in the ballpark of 80% of my mixing time. You have to set the automation mode to Touch, rearm the volume parameter, and restart playback. The disadvantage in disarming the volume automation recording is that you can no longer quickly do touch ups while going over a loop when you're adjusting your EQs or compressors in write mode. It takes a VERY long time to do so right now. The alternative is to disarm everything you don't wish to change by opening the envelope window manualy for each track. Right now you can't do that without blowing away your volume automation in WRITE mode. The reason behind this is that when mixing effects and dialog, often you'll ride your faders a lot, and may wish to EQ something a little more, or change the compressor settings for a few lines. One automation mode setting for the standard controls of volume, pan and sends, and then one automation mode setting for all the effects in the insert section. The modifer key or the right mouse button could also work for the left/right item edge trimmer to operate in a scrubbing mode. The stuff you have at your fingertips is the fastest, and speed is what it's about for post production folks. Modifier keys are an alternative and a good addition, but they will always be slower. Implementing this in the Reaper universe could be having a toggle action that turns off/on the context sensitive menus and other functions that concern the right mouse button, thereby freeing the right mouse button, which is the easiest, and in my experience, the quickest to use. Those could be any endless knobs and jogwheels. Rendering to WAV with the bext chunk will then be of much greater use for us post production folks.Įmulation of 1/4 inch tape scrub using the mouse and any other input device with an input range. Timecode offsets for any grid, though I'd be happy with HH:MM:SS:ff formats. This stuff goes on to tape and in later production stages is a reference for people not just for levels but also where the program starts, in case they only got the raw audio file. Whatever the picture cutters deliver, you have to use, and you're bound to their timecode most of the time.įor a number of reasons, we therefore require timecode offsets in our session, meaning that the sessionstart has to be a timecode setting.įor the show I work on (program starts at 10:00:00:00) I start my session at 09:57:30:00, because I need to include reference level tone and 2 second pre-program 1-frame blip. In Germany television shows start at 10:00:00:00.
Nudge should have its very own timecode selector too so I can push things around by whatever distance I choose. In a 25fps project I need to nudge stuff by frames, fractions of frames (1/4 frame for example) and seconds for example. Nudge with userdefinable step width, with presets depending on kind of timecode in project. I hope these requests of mine are as useful.Īll timecode formats usable in grid and snap. We have several feature requests in the recently introduced Issue Tracker that concern post production.
