How to use Create Continuous File with Audio Suite plugins

By Coll Anderson @Coll_Anderson

    Every button that I have found that sends to Audio Suite plugins or to Rx wants to “create individual files” as opposed to “create continuous file”…. Can you point me in the direction of how to change that?
    Also, the decks for RX seem to be for regular RX and not RX advanced or RX8.

        This seems to be an Rx thing I have yet to figure out. For some reason all the commands that send to Rx want to either consolidate a file before they send or want to Composite in Rx. How can I get an action to send to Rx that will not do this. If you have a door close with a fade in, a cross fade and a fade out, I want it to open as a single file in Rx but not Consolidate before sending it from Pro Tools. Also, trying to figure out how to add De-Reverb from Rx 7 to the Rx Deck.

          Hi Coll,

          You could use a script like this instead:

          
var win = sf.ui.proTools.getAudioSuiteWindow('RX 7 Connect');
if (!win || !win.exists)
    win = sf.ui.proTools.getAudioSuiteWindow('RX 6 Connect');
if (!win || !win.exists) {
    if (sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem('AudioSuite', 'Noise Reduction', 'RX 7 Connect').exists) {
        win = sf.ui.proTools.audioSuiteOpenPlugin({
            category: 'Noise Reduction',
            name: 'RX 7 Connect'
        }).window;
    } else if (sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem('AudioSuite', 'Noise Reduction', 'RX 6 Connect').exists) {
        win = sf.ui.proTools.audioSuiteOpenPlugin({
            category: 'Noise Reduction',
            name: 'RX 6 Connect'
        }).window;
    } else
        throw "RX 6/7 Connect not installed, or you are not sorting plugins by Category";
}

win.audioSuiteSetOptions({ processingInputMode: 'EntireSelection', processingOutputMode: 'CreateContinuousFile' });
win.getFirstWithTitle("Analyze").elementClick();

            We're working on upgrading the iZotope package with more customization abilities :)

                I have not quite mastered using scripts in my macro's. Is there a video I can watch to learn how to do that? I have mostly been using the actions that are pre-defined.

                  In this case, you'd add this script as a separate command (not directly inside another macro).
                  So when clicking "New", you choose "Script" instead of "Macro", and then in the editor, you just paste the code.

                  If you then later on want to add that Script's actions into another Macro, you can just point the Macro to the Script (when you click Add Action in the macro and start searching, you'll be able to add the script as a macro-action).

                      sf.ui.proTools.OpenInIzotope();

                          Would that work?

                      Note, if you are talking more generally about automating AudioSuite plugins and setting their options, you can do this today with the macro editor, or by using one of the templates in the Store.

                      For example, the Pro Tools AudioSuite package has a template that allows you to automate the entire process of opening, rendering and closing an AudioSuite plugin:

                        That is exactly what I wanted to happen...
                        Should I try and clean it up so it's only Rx7? I am not going to lie, a bunch is way over my head. I would love to make Ambience Match, Dialogue De-Reverb, EQ Match part of the Rx Deck. Maybe it is a two decker? Or maybe just make more of the commands available? Totally hot, LOVE my Stream Deck now.

                          No need for that :)

                          This sounds like a separate question / issue from Connect (which behaves differently than most other AudioSuite plugins), so for clarity it might be better to open a new thread for those.

                        Yep, I got the process of sending to a plugin, rendering and sending back to Pro-Tools. That much is working great. And all my automation commands from the D-Control are working great as well. It's just this Izotope thing...
