REAPER is a great DAW with an extensive capability to be customized and extended with scripts. In this page I want to share some of the scripts I create. I hope you like them. You can support me with a paypal donation Thank you.
To start, you have to install HeDaScripts Manager and then use it inside REAPER to automatically install the rest of the scripts:
I'm working on Regions & Markers from Items v2
And it is going to be much better. It is compatible with Region Render Matrix, and all regions are associated with the item in a much better way. It's a complete rewrite of the script, more optimized and better.
I hope to make a pre-release available for VIP members soon. It works with regions for now:
Render LUFS is a script that helps automatically rendering a file to the desired target integrated loudness (LUFS)
Inspired by JS: General Dynamics, this is my first MIDI script... I think. Because I had to update HeDaScripts Manager to support installing the action in the MIDI editor section ID.
It's easy to use. It's like a Compressor/Expander for MIDI velocities. It modifies selected notes velocities from input(x axis) to output(y axis) values defined in the graph
Pre release available for VIP members. Install from HeDaScripts Manager as usual

New tags function to solo and mute tracks by tags. It does respect your already muted tracks.
Now if a track has multiple tags, all of them must be set to visible in order to make the track visible. I'm thinking what will be the best way to make OR combinations for tags. So for example if only one of the tags is found to be set visible then show the track.
The floating instance won't generate additional sends now and it is possible to change tracks and work with the docked instance and the floating instance at the same time. Still each instance has its own configuration so you can hide or show panels individually for each instance. So I added a second floating instance by default that I will use for example to hide all panels from the settings except the tags one. Now all tags, notes, and any other project data are stored in the main instance always. So you can access the information from the floating instances too.
* v1.4pre8 (2017-06-30)
+ Track Tags: TCP MCP Visibility Presets (CTRL+Click to save preset. ALT+Click to delete preset)
+ Track Tags: 9 actions to load presets via action shortcuts
+ Track Tags: Tags panel menu
# Track Tags: copy and paste moved to panel menu
# Track Tags: CTRL+Click to solo visibility. TCP MCP buttons become green indicating it is soloed. Do it again to unsolo.
# Track Tags: option: MCP visibility follows TCP visibility
# Track Tags: tags are automatically copied when duplicating tracks
# Track Tags: sort list of project tags by name
# Track Tags: SHIFT+click tag to rename tag
# Track Tags: align TCP MCP buttons columns
# Track Tags: internal optimizations in list of tags
# Track Tags: some bug fixes, tags lost when switching tabs, and smaller bugs
Tags Visibility Preset system is working now. It adds 9 presets buttons to save(CTRL+click) or load(Click) combinations of TCP and MCP visibility for quick recall.
Even more. This update adds 9 new actions in your actions window to load each preset. So you can customize your keyboard shortcuts to quickly load a preset without having to go to track inspector panel.
Tags are now ordered by name. And you can rename them (SHIFT+click) Tip: You can for example put an * prefix to a tag and it will show first before any other tags.
You can solo the visibility of a tag by CTRL+click on the tag in the list of all tags. the button becomes green indicating that it is soled. CTRL+click again on it to restore visibility.
There was a big bug in tags not being saved correctly when switching project tabs. It works now. There have been some other internal changes from previous prerelease, so test this all you can.
* v1.4pre7 (2017-06-26)
+ Tracks Tags: Add tags to tracks, for example MIDI, VCA, AUDIO, VOCALS, GROUP 1, etc... whatever you want. You can add multiple tags to each track.
+ Tracks Tags module: Show or hide in TCP or MCP by tags. / Select Tracks by tags.
# fix: maintain panels scroll position(to latest fully visible) when selecting another track.
This update adds a new panel for adding TAGS to tracks. In REAPER all tracks are the same. This is an advantage but it would also be nice to categorize tracks for several purposes.
Now you can add a tag to each track, or multiple tags. First select the track or multiple tracks you want to categorize and click +Tag button to add the tag. You will see a list of tags in green which are the tags assigned to the selected track. To remove a tag, ALT +click on it.
Below you see a list of all tags used in the project. Click on this list tag name to select all tracks with this tag. Or CTRL click to add that tag to selected tracks without having to type the name of the tag. ALT click to remove this tag from all tracks. There are two buttons TCP and MCP. This toggles the visibility of the tracks with this tag on the TCP or MCP.
More functionalities by tags can be added and some presets and custom actions to toggle TCP and MCP visibility directly with a shortcut will be added.

In this website you can find all the scripts I create for REAPER. You can download and install them by using the HeDaScripts Manager
REAPER is an excellent DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software used from amateur to professional users. One of the main features is its API that allows to customize and create scripts. Some are simple and can help automatizing tasks, and other scripts are complex, and can be more like an application extension integrated in REAPER, providing new functionalities and enhancing the user experience.
If you donate, your are supporting HeDaScripts helping me to invest more time and update them more frequently, adding new features, and create new ones. You get a VIP account as a reward, where you can download VIP versions of the scripts and pre-releases updates. Thank you very much!
