Soft Keys/Macros for rendering Audio Suite
I am trying to program a soft key/macro to render AudioSuite plugins to a selected clip, for example:
--Render user default 'Normalize' setting to selected audio clip (in my case that's set to -12dB, peak) or --Render 'Reverse' selected audio clip Does anyone know how to do this, or a workaround? Thanks |

Re: Soft Keys/Macros for rendering Audio Suite
Personally I do this with Keyboard Maestro and have macros for sending to RX7 and rendering (amongst others). As suggested above you can program a key command through the OS, but I don't think you'll be able to program the "render" button through that.

Re: Soft Keys/Macros for rendering Audio Suite
I use Keyboard Maestro ($36 - Mac Only).
A trial is available at: https://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/ I've set up a couple of macros for Normalize and Reverse. Pause The pause command allows time for the AudioSuite Window to open. You can lengthen/shorten the delay. To automatically open the Normalize window with your preferred setting 1. Set up Normalize with your settings. 2. Save a preset. 3. Set the preset as User Default. 4. Settings Preferences/Set Plug-In Default to/User Setting dbo - Unfortunately, I don't think zip files can be posted on this forum. If you want to send me a private message with your email address, I can send the macros to you. They can be imported into Keyboard Maestro.

Re: Soft Keys/Macros for rendering Audio Suite
Hi Richard,
This is very Cool! I have been struggling with KM and Apple Script trying to figure out how to do this!! I copied your macro into Key Meastro here and still can't get it to work. Reverse opens in audio suite but the render button just wont press. Would you have any macros you could share as an import? I really want to learn to do this but the curve is steep. thanks in advance, John PS: do you have any tips for muteomatic macros? I'd love to macro a key for momentarily opening the talkback gate. essentially making a hotkey function as a talkback button. thanks in advance for you insight, John |

Re: Soft Keys/Macros for rendering Audio Suite
My first attempt at a Muteomatic Toggle macro held the left click in the middle of the Muteomatic circle. This worked, but the held click stopped working as soon as the mouse was moved - even a tiny movement.
My second attempt simply clicks the Play and Stop icons. I think this does what you want, but I don't have the equipment to set up a Talkback channel, so I can't fully test it. The macro uses the "Click at found image" command, using screen shots of the Play and Stop icons. I originally used the complete icons (with the surrounding circles), but this confused the macro - sometimes the Stop icon was clicked instead of the Play icon. I don't know why this happened - I never seen the problem before.

Re: Soft Keys/Macros for rendering Audio Suite
I'm not an expert at AppleScript - I use Google to search for websites and posts on forums about how to use AppleScript. I then try to modify the scripts.
Sorry if my screenshots contain your original work. I will delete them if you want. Great!!! Can you post a screenshot of how to do this?
