SoundFlow
I’m a Pro Tools user with SoundFlow on trial.
It seems to be a great product, but I already use Keyboard Maestro and S3, Dock and Avid Control for most of my needs. SoundFlow scripts has solved a few things that I haven’t been able to do with shortcuts on my current setup, though: • Open the Patch Select Window • Open the Track name window to rename the selected track • Show/hide automation lanes (Example below) Code:
sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.children.whoseTitle.is('Show/hide automation lanes').first.elementClick(); Is there some other way to run these types of scripts on macOS?

Re: SoundFlow
Can you make AppleScript execute the ”Show/hide automation lanes” script in my first post?
Soundflow scripting language seems to use javascript with extensions, far beyond my knowledge.

Re: SoundFlow
That works great, thanks!
Since my initial question, I’ve started a SoundFlow subscription, using it with the Stream Deck integration, but I wonder if it would be possible to achieve the same things without SF, using only Stream Deck and some scripting know-how. Anyway, at the moment, SF is very convenient for me. For example, I like that I can trigger/open a certain Deck by the name of a PT Track when opening a midi editor for that track, and that it’s easy to set up.

Re: SoundFlow
It’s possible to incorporate StreamDeck with Pro Tools w/o Soundflow but it will not be as good and it will take a lot of time to program either hotkey buttons or Applescripts with a combination of Keyboard Maestro or similar.
Soundflow is definitely the simpler way. That being said, I have made just a few simple macros and hotkey buttons on my Streamdeck without using Soundflow. I just didn’t want to have to add yet another monthly subscription. |

Re: SoundFlow
Thanks!
I understand - I don’t like the subscription-trend, either.

As a matter of fact I have rewritten all my AppleScripts that I shared on the DUC to work with JavaScript within SoundFlow, so that you know. It is always 😂 to read posts by users who do not wanna pay a dime for professional automation solutions but then again use free solutions and still blame for lack of... whatever they have to complain about. This makes me sick. I have shared so many AppleScripts and if anyone who used them would have paid me only 1˘ I would be a rich man by now. If something you use, a software or a tool, does not work then look for something else. If your only goal is to get something for free then think about why the work you do is not for free. |

I'm happy to pay for software that I use and I'm 100% appreciative of your time, help and scripts you've provided over the year. It's the subscription model that I don't like. Let me pay a one time fee and subsequent upgrade fees if I choose to. I also probably don't need 90% of what Soundflow has to offer. That being said. I'm happy to pay you $1 for your scripts. Our time is worth $$$ although I give a lot of my time away to help others. In the end it benefits everyone. I like the challenge of building my own scripts. For me it's fun and sometimes I need the help of the community when I get stuck. Nature of the business. |
