Compilation of Working Macros

[gesslr]

Hi.

I pulled working macros from several threads in an attempt to create a study reference and "documentation by inference". I'm going to post them below and try to keep the list updated as macros get posted. (What is really needed is some documentation of existing methods and such. If anyone knows of such a thing, please post some info.)*

04/09/18 EDIT: Great news! As of Waveform 9.1.1 the ability to list the API Reference has been added! See this video by Bill Edstrom for details on how to do this: https://youtu.be/Gbg3YUrXO_s?t=3m58s


Feel free to post working macros here (or flag anything in the list that doesn't work) but I'd like to try to keep this as a list of working macros, not a discussion of macros. To discuss macros, ask for help, or make requests, there are a couple of excellent threads in the forum:

This is the main thread from which most of these were pulled and where a lot of discussion occurs
viewtopic.php?f=22&t=441475&hilit=macro

This is a thread with some excellent macros from AGreen
viewtopic.php?f=22&t=486975&p=7015908#p7015908

This is a thread from TSC talking about the addition of Macros and some examples
http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic ... 2&t=441200

* - From user AGreen:

"You can get info on some functionality by looking at existing keyboard shortcuts in the macro editor. You can also discover properties by opening the Waveform edit file in something like Wordpad. You'll see there are various assignments of properties and types, for example within the "track" section you will see properties like "filter" and "name"."

Hope folks find this helpful.

OK. Here is the list:

Code: Select all

//Create a track named X
//Rewind X amount
//Load plugin with preset X

// Insert a Track Named X
var track = Tracktion.insertTrack ('audio');
Tracktion.setName (track, "New Track Name");

// Rewind X Amount
var currentPos = Tracktion.getPosition ('transport');
Tracktion.setPosition ('transport', currentPos - 10.0);

//applying a preset to a plugin
// Insert Plugin With Preset
var track = Tracktion.getTrackFromSelectedObject();
var plugin = Tracktion.insertPlugin (track, "Massive", 0, "AudioUnit");
var preset = Tracktion.getPresetFromLibrary ("Massive All Souls");
Tracktion.setPluginPreset (plugin, preset);

//adding a preset directly
// Insert Named Preset
var track = Tracktion.getTrackFromSelectedObject();
var preset = Tracktion.getPresetFromLibrary ("Massive All Souls");
Tracktion.insertPluginPreset (track, preset);

//NEXT SCRIPT

Code: Select all

//For renaming tracks you can do this like so:

var tracks = Tracktion.getSelectedEditElements ('track');
Tracktion.setName (tracks[0], 'Kick');
Tracktion.setName (tracks[1], 'Snare');
Tracktion.setName (tracks[2], 'Hats');

// etc. Or you could start with the first track and use "Tracktion.selectItem ('down')" as in your example.

//NEXT SCRIPT

Code: Select all

//As most users simply need a way to change to a specific tab quickly I've added methods 
//to get the current tab index and to change it by a delta. 
//This should mean you can quickly add shortcuts for previous/next tab or jump to a specific tab index. E.g.

// Jump to tab 2
var index = Tracktion.getWindowTabIndex();
var delta = 2 - index;
Tracktion.changeWindowTabIndex (delta);

//NEXT SCRIPT

//You can now add the clip types: 'barsBeatsMarker' & 'absoluteMarker'.
//'insertClip' also returns an object so you can rename it or move it around etc.

// Insert Bars/Beats Marker Clip

//Is there a way to select all clips from a highlighted track, via macros?
//Use "addObjectsToSelection" (v6.2.2). Note that this can be used in conjunction with "deselectAll"

It would be preferable if you put them in code blocks, as per AGreen's posts.

unformatted:

//Reset all tracks mute state:
var tracks = Tracktion.getEditElements ('track');
Tracktion.setMute (tracks, false);

versus code blocks

Code: Select all

//Reset all tracks mute state:
var tracks = Tracktion.getEditElements ('track');
Tracktion.setMute (tracks, false);

[gesslr]

OK. I'll do that in a bit....

[AGreen]

Here are a couple of macros to expand and collapse folder tracks

Expand folders:

Code: Select all

var folders = Tracktion.getEditElements ('track');
for (var i = 0; i < folders.length; ++i)
    folders[i].setProperty ('expanded', '1');

Collapse folders:

Code: Select all

var folders = Tracktion.getEditElements ('track');
for (var i = 0; i < folders.length; ++i)
    folders[i].setProperty ('expanded', '0');

and for function snippets https://github.com/OSBooter/Tracktion-W ... /functions

There's a very useful strategy for a function I'd like to mention by grabbing the current selection, the positions of cursor and in/out markers, you can move them and then place them back when you are done, for example in my pull next clip to current end of clip code.

Code: Select all

/**
    Name:Pull Next Clip to Tail
    Description:Pulls the next clip to the end of the selected clip,
    Author:Andrew Cheung
    Version:V2
    Changelog:
    -it can't handle two selected clips from different tracks
**/
//capture default
var curPos = Tracktion.getPosition ('cursor');
var markInPos = Tracktion.getPosition ('markIn');
var markOutPos = Tracktion.getPosition ('markOut');
//code
Tracktion.markAroundSelected();
Tracktion.jumpToMarkOut();
Tracktion.selectItem ('right');
Tracktion.moveStartOfSelectedClipsToCursor();
//code end
//reset to default
Tracktion.setPosition ('cursor', curPos);
Tracktion.setPosition ('markIn', markInPos);
Tracktion.setPosition ('markOut', markOutPos);

Feel free to use my template code (also found in my github )

Code: Select all

var curPos = Tracktion.getPosition ('cursor');
var markInPos = Tracktion.getPosition ('markIn');
var markOutPos = Tracktion.getPosition ('markOut');
var curClips = Tracktion.getSelectedEditElements ('clip');
//insert code here


//code end
Tracktion.selectItem ('none');
Tracktion.addObjectsToSelection (curClips);//if you select some stuff and haven't deleted any clips use this to default
Tracktion.setPosition ('cursor', curPos);
Tracktion.setPosition ('markIn', markInPos);
Tracktion.setPosition ('markOut', markOutPos);

Fantastic. Thanks!

Excellent thread!

Can a Mod make this thread sticky? So much useful stuff here.

I moved my Script Request from here to Javascript Macro Action Requests

thanks

[whyterabbyt]

dammit. didnt mean to post.

[whyterabbyt]

Okay, now I'll post.

The OP hasnt been around for a while, but I still think its nice to have a central repository of scripts so here are some more...

Basically, since Ive been going through the Waveform 11 videos by , I think, Bill Edstrom, as Tracktion are mentioning these videos in their newsletter.
There are a few macros given in them, mostly Range-related, so here they are.

Set In/Out to match Range

Code: Select all

Tracktion.setPosition ('loopIn', Tracktion.getPosition ('markIn'));
Tracktion.setPosition ('loopOut', Tracktion.getPosition ('markOut'));

Delete Selection and clear Range

Code: Select all

Tracktion.deleteMarkedRegionOfSelectedClipsAndClose();
Tracktion.setPosition ('markIn', NULL);
Tracktion.setPosition ('markOut', NULL);

Note : the following one only seems to work properly as an action if you're using the edit cursor, not as a key command.

Split Range to new Clip

Code: Select all

Tracktion.setPosition ('transport', Tracktion.getPosition ('markIn'));
Tracktion.splitClips();
Tracktion.setPosition ('transport', Tracktion.getPosition ('markOut'));
Tracktion.splitClips();

The following is my own tweak of the above, which preserves the Playback cursor position. Again, works properly as an action only when using the edit cursor.

Split Range to new Clip Preserving Cursor

Code: Select all

tempPosition = Tracktion.getPosition('transport');
Tracktion.setPosition ('transport', Tracktion.getPosition ('markIn'));
Tracktion.splitClips();
Tracktion.setPosition ('transport', Tracktion.getPosition ('markOut'));
Tracktion.splitClips();
Tracktion.setPosition ('transport', tempPosition);

I've no knowledge on script at all, Im looking for a macro that add a Folder Track with 2 Audio Tracks inside the Folder Track.

Something like that :

Folder Track
GTR_Left
GTR_right

Any Help?
Thx

As mentioned in the OP, this is for posting working macros.

This is the main thread from which most of these were pulled and where a lot of discussion occurs. You might have more luck posting your question there.
