GreenLight Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Hi all! Would it be possible to somehow write a macro (CAL script?) to do the following on a selected audio clip: 1. Enable groove clip looping 2. Extend the loop to now time marker (or Loop End Point) Would be a big time saver for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promidi Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Cal Scripts act primarily on MIDI events, so no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberwolf Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Depending on the "smarts" of the scripting language, there are macro / script programs that run in the OS itself that might do what you want with minimal user interaction. Some computer (text) keyboards come with software to do this kind of thing; some of those only run in the OS, and some create macros stored inside the keyboard itself (not sure how many of these are still made). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Arwood Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 autohotkey.com Even though it is possible to program this, I don’t think it would be practical. The reason would be, where would the mouse click. The clip would need to be in exactly the same place every time. It might be possible with key commands, but it still would not be easy. It is beyond me. I am a medium programmer in autohotkey. There are a couple of people that are way better than me. I wish SCook was still here! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenLight Posted October 22 Author Share Posted October 22 Cool, thanks for the input guys. 👍 Yeah, I think built-in shortcuts that are a bit macro-like would be awesome. For example: Extend clip to Now Marker Extend clip to Loop Points Trim clip ends to even Measures Etc, etc... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Baay Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 The concepts of clips and groove clips hadn't yet been implemented when CAL was developed; it can only operate on individual events. CAL could be made to do it by Copy-Paste with the known From and Thru values of the selected clip. Groove Clip Looping is sort of aimed at users who prefer to edit with the mouse. If you prefer to use keyboard shortcuts, there is already Duplicate and Copy-Paste with Repetitions that will get the job done in short order. Or you could go to clip properties and change the length of the Groove Clip - e.g. if you quaduple the length, you get 4 repetitions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenLight Posted October 23 Author Share Posted October 23 Good idea, David. I'll see if the changing of clip properties could be automated, could be doable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
