Lua script requests

[GiRa]

I would like to be able to return the playhead to where I started playing, whilst playing

Sort of 'auto return' feature, but without stopping playback.

I guess it could query the 'auto return' state, optionally toggle it on if it was off, and then stop and start playback. If the 'auto return' was previously off, it should be toggled to off again.

EDIT: Here's the script https://raw.githubusercontent.com/davide...t_play.lua

===================================================

OLD TEXT HERE:
I tried and it's not as straight-forward as it seems. Mixbus/Ardour manage all the actions in an asynchronous way and basically we only request actions (not dictate) via LUA.

The point is that you cannot simply set the auto-return, stop, play, and set it back because the code accounts for external sync and other stuff which do not guarantee that, for example, when you request a stop it happens directly, or at all.

7 space space seems much faster than LUA workarounds in this case

Nice! Exactly what I needed, thanks!

Hi,

Is it possible to hide tracks in editor view but showing them in mixer view with lua script? I find it hard when there is both bus tracks, vca's showing in editor view. I just want to have midi and audio tracks there. I found it att bit messy with all those different tracks.

Thanks

Menu -> view -> show editor list -> tick/untick boxes under "V"
No LUA script needed, it's built in since at least v2.5

Not exactly what I wanted. If I create a VCA track and hide it, it also get hidden in Mixer view. I want it to be shown in mixer view but NOT in editor view.

Mixbus 32C latest release

Even when you detach the mixer?

Just had a quick check: looks like a bug... At least when I detach the mixer window I'd expect the visibility decoupled and I believe this was so in previous versions, I just don't have time right now to set up an older Mixbus...
May be worth to report to mixbus@harrisonconsoles.com

Hi fellow forum members!

Long time mixbus user here (since v2). I'm starting to use midi libraries more and more often nowadays and would love to improve the workflow. Freezing tracks will help with that.

It's not clear to me if the freeze script at the start of the thread worked around or not, but I think this one should be doable.

When creating a new midi channel, automatically create a new audio track with the same name and a suffix (maybe name_r, for "render") and route midi track output to audio track input.

This will help lots and save quite a lot of clics and time. Do you think it's doable?

Best

Any Vocalign script?
