Move recorded clip to Take tracks on stop.

Cool. I'll try to write the rest. In the mean time, if you could test this part to see if everything works as it should would be great.

Hello @Fernando_J_Alanis,

Here you go.

A few details to consider:

This script will be always running in the background as long as you have an open session. When you close the session the script will fail. This is something that can be fixed once everything is working well, but it's actually a good thing. It's not great to let runForever scripts actually run forever. For the sake of stability, it's a good idea to break them when you are not needing them. So, in this case it will break when you close the session, run it again when the session is open. Test it for a while and save often, please. I can't see any reason you could loose anything but you never know.

And, during the script we need to have the grabber tool in Object mode.
Let me know how you usually keep your tools, so I can leave it that way when the script ends. It might already be good though.

Hope you enjoy this, and let me know how it goes.
