Does anyone know if there is a way to cut a region on attacks similar to split mark in Levelizer - but without the cut after the gate falls below the threshold. This seems like something that could be done (other than duplicating a track, splitmarking then track-select both and tab-tab-k(ing) all the way through).
All I can think of is setting the release to max. It could give useful results depending on how long the gaps are in your source audio.Quote:

I've had success doing that in the past, but IME some patience was required finding a good-fit macro program and then tweaking the script. Maybe things have gotten better in the intervening decade? :D
Macro. Hmm maybe I could do a for loop in powershell to send the keystroke series maybe a hundred (or whatever) at a time and call it a few times until through the tune. I just did some searching. Looks like a kludge could be done in just a few lines of instructions. I may have some time to try over the weekend...Quote:

Save edl with a new filename - you are going to do this because each 'k' generates an undo (you could suspend this) - so this will wipe out the history.
- duplicate a track,
- splitmark the original track with levelizer
- track-select both
- position cursor before 1st region on the original track
Suggestions:
- I'm sending {TAB}{TAB}k You'll have to search for the SendWait syntax of the keystrokes you want to use. I didn't find proper documentation for which keys need special treatment.
- In the for loop, set the number of iterations (10) low to practice.
- Look in task manager if you are using 64 and change AppActivate accordingly.
In powershell, I called this little script:
#SendSawStudioKeys.ps1 #####################
add-type -AssemblyName microsoft.VisualBasic
add-type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
[Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::AppActivate("SAWStudio")
for (($i = 1); $i -le 10; ($i++)) {
[System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait("{TAB}{TAB}k")
}
There is an 'Auto EDL Undo' toggle in the options menu.
Then you might want to add this line before your loop:
[System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait("{MULTIPLY}")

Woah. Or is it yikes?
Above my pay grade, I'm afraid. But it sure sounds good to my lay ears. :D
It was your suggestion. Just act like a boss and give yourself a pay raise.Quote:

Are you intimatin' that you're not being paid big bucks for knowing how to code scripts? So what's my incentive to learn it? ;)Quote:

So much to do, so little time...
