Tiger, Automator and ProTools

[khoop]

I've been wondering if Digi will make a future version of ProTools fully scriptable, so it will work with the OS 10.4 (Tiger) feature called Automator.

While spending the better part of two days printing mixes, I started thinking how amazing it would be if Digi gave us scripting access to a few basic features. A batch process that would really help me would be:

1) bounce to disk
2) trim automation +0.7db on track "LV"
3) bounce to disk using (filename)+"_lvup"
4) trim automation -0.7db on track "LV"
5) bounce to disk using (filename)+"_lvdn"
6) mute track "LV"
7) bounce to disk using (filename)+"_tv"

And so on. I can't imagine it would be that difficult to have a few basic commands that were scriptable. Then you could use Quickeys. You could pull up a session, and walk away while 5-8 versions printed down.

Just dreaming out loud....

I agree, that would rock.

Exactly.

Still, it would be nice.
