Auto Send Level Adjustment Issue

Hi, @Scott_Smith,

Thanks for the question! You could add a wait for the script like this.

Note that I'm leaving the invalidate() line on Line 24— which could help keep this script running well.

Then, at line 35, I added a "waitFor()" command that waits for the value to update.

const sendA = 0;
const sendB = 1;
const sendC = 2;
const sendD = 3;
const sendE = 4;
const sendF = 5;
const sendG = 6;
const sendH = 7;
const sendI = 8;
const sendJ = 9;

//************************************Pick your favorite send from the above list
const selectedSend = sendA;

//************************************Set a send level of your choise
const sendLevel = '-15'

const sendVolumeField = sf.ui.proTools.mainTrackOutputWindow.textFields.whoseTitle.is("Volume Numerical").first;

function setSendLevel(trackName) {
    // Open the Send
    sf.ui.proTools.trackGetByName({ name: trackName }).track.sendButtons[selectedSend].elementClick();

    // Wait for the send window to show
    sf.ui.proTools.mainTrackOutputWindow.elementWaitFor();

    // Set the Send level
    sendVolumeField.elementSetTextFieldWithAreaValue({
        value: sendLevel,
        useMouseKeyboard: true,
    })

    sf.keyboard.press({ keys: 'enter' });

    // Wait for the value to match
    sf.waitFor({
        callback: () => {
            sf.ui.proTools.invalidate();
            return Number(sendVolumeField.value.value) == Number(sendLevel);
        },
        timeout: 2000,
    }, `Failed waiting`);

};

function main() {
    // Activate Pro Tools
    sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();
    // Refresh the Cache of UI Elements
    sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.invalidate();

    if(sf.ui.proTools.mainTrackOutputWindow.exists){
        sf.ui.proTools.mainTrackOutputWindow.windowClose();
    }

    let trackNames = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackNames
    let tracks = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTracks.trackHeaders;

    for (let i = 0; i < tracks.length; i++) {
        // Select the Track
        sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: [trackNames[i]] });

        // Scroll Track to View
        sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.trackScrollToView({});

        if (sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.sendButtons[0].value.value == 'unassigned') {
            throw `Send Slot ${selectedSend} is not assigned on this track`
        }

        // Set the Send Level
        setSendLevel(trackNames[i]);
    }
};

main();

I'll also note that you are using SoundFlow 5.10.1, which is a bit older at this point. We just released SoundFlow 6, which is available to download here:

https://soundflow.org/account/install

With SoundFlow 6, Pro Tools 2025.10, and SFX, you could take advantage of some improvements with the following script (this may not work if you try to run from your current version of SoundFlow, though).

We no longer need to use keyboard simulation to enter text values into the send or scroll tracks into view with SoundFlow 6 and Pro Tools 2025.10.

const sendA = 0;
const sendB = 1;
const sendC = 2;
const sendD = 3;
const sendE = 4;
const sendF = 5;
const sendG = 6;
const sendH = 7;
const sendI = 8;
const sendJ = 9;

//************************************Pick your favorite send from the above list
const selectedSend = sendA;

//************************************Set a send level of your choise
const sendLevel = '-15'

const sendVolumeField = sf.ui.proTools.mainTrackOutputWindow.textFields.whoseTitle.is("Volume Numerical").first;

function setSendLevel(trackName) {
    // Open the Send
    sf.ui.proTools.trackGetByName({ name: trackName }).track.sendButtons[selectedSend].elementClick();
    
    // Wait for the send window to show
    sf.ui.proTools.mainTrackOutputWindow.elementWaitFor();

    // Set the Send level
    sendVolumeField.elementSetTextFieldWithAreaValue({
        value: sendLevel,
        useMouseKeyboard: true
    })

    // Wait for the value to match
    sf.waitFor({
        callback: () => {
            sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.invalidate();
            return sendVolumeField.value.value == sendLevel;
        },
        timeout: 2000,
    }, `Failed waiting`);

};

function main() {
    // Activate Pro Tools
    sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();
    // Refresh the Cache of UI Elements
    sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.invalidate();

    let trackNames = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackNames
    let tracks = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTracks.trackHeaders;

    for (let i = 0; i < tracks.length; i++) {
        // Select the Track
        sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: [trackNames[i]] });
        
        // Scroll Track to View
        sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.trackScrollToView({});

        if(sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.sendButtons[0].value.value == 'unassigned'){
            throw `Send Slot ${selectedSend} is not assigned on this track`
        }
        
        // Set the Send Level
        setSendLevel(trackNames[i]);
    }
};

main();

Thanks Chad! While using either versions of that code I get the following error and the script no longer runs unfortunately. Appreciate any help you can give. thanks!

Hi Chad,
Sorry I should have mentioned. Im now running 6.01 and getting the result I sent. Thanks!

Hi Chad,
I just tried the first as Im on PT 2024.10.2. It set the level correctly for one send then timed out with the below error:

Much better! Still got hung up midway with the below error: << Command: Send -15 Slow [user:default:cmhb146hm0001ox108bzrbyp4]
