Can Soundflow do this?

Hi Sean,

The short reply is: Most of these things are possible in SoundFlow, yes :)
What I meant in my reply to your original thread was, that if you need help building any of these things, you should ask each question in a separate thread. It would quickly get messy to have 20 different workflows in a single thread here. That being said, it probably wouldn't make sense to open 20 different threads all at once. My advice would be to try first to build the stuff, after having followed our guides, and then ask when you get stuck.

You should also be able to do most of this without having to resort to scripting, but you would need to learn how to build macros.

Most of this you could learn by watching our Learning Soundflow videos here:

If you're not interested in spending any time learning SF or how to build macros, there is the possibility to hire our internal team to write scripts for you, or to find someone in the community who'd be willing to set this up for you. If you're interested in hiring our internal team, please be in touch at support@soundflow.org

Hi Sean,

I was where you were a few months ago, so I thought I'd jump in here and try and quickly answer some of your requests so you could thin it down to the more essential. I tired to reply to every one of your requests, some are realllly easy macros for you to build. (I found macros the best way to get my feet wet. some of these are super simple one command macros, and others you'll start stringing a few steps together.) The shortest answer I can give you and you'll see a lot below is the 'Click Menu Item' macro is your best friend, I think half of your requests can simply be done with that.

Open close side panels - (SEE STORE KITCH COMMAND TEMPLATE)
Delete all fades in selected area script - (NOT SURE)
Batch fades in selected area script - (Very Buildabe with macros - no coding needed)
show Undo history (Super easy macro --- new Macro Click Menu item - Window - Undo History)
Beat detective Edit smoothing script -- (Search forum I think people have written beat detctive stuff - A fully automated Beat Detective script)
Advanced show hide? (Not sure exaclty what you mean but again SEE KITCH COMMAND TEMPLATE in store)
Open PB engine (Super Easy Marco --- New macro - Click menu Item - Setup - Playback Engine... (don't forget the dots)
Getting in and out of tce trimmer (Seach forum for tool toggles, these are around, will probably take a very little bit of copy paste coding, good beginner practice. - Edit tool toggle - I may or may not be sending you in the wrong direction here)
Delete fades selected area (NOT Sure)
Coalesce trim automation selected area (Very easy macro ( New Macro - Click Menu item - Track - Coalesce Trim Automation)
Clear trim automation ((Very easy macro ( New Macro - Click Menu item - Track - Clear Trim Automation)
Show inactive tracks. (I think somebody's written this, but it's a decent one to practice the Click Popup Menu macro)
Show all/ active tracks. (I think somebody's written this, (How to hide\show inactive tracks with streamdeck or keyboard trigger) but it's a decent one to practice the Click Popup Menu macro)

Revert to saved session version (Click Menu Item Macro - File - Revert to saved session)
Mp3 export script - (Try exploring this one How to automate the Bounce to Disk dialog ALSO actually looks like this is in KITCH Command Template package in the store too!)
Create duplicate of selected tracks.

sf.ui.proTools.trackDuplicateSelected({
    duplicateActivePlaylist: false,
    duplicateAlternatePlaylists: false,
    duplicateAutomation: false,
    duplicateGroupAssignments: true,
    duplicateInserts: true,
    duplicateSends: true,
    insertAfterLastSelectedTrack: true,
    numberOfDuplicates: 1
})

Swap false to true and vice versa for whatever settings you like on your track duplicate

Duplicate playlist (I actually don't work with Playlists often so I'm not sure how to do this one)

Hope that helps get you started Sean! Marcos are definilty the way to dip your toes in the water, once you start to wrap your head around them it all really takes off.

Bests,
Owen

@Sean_McDonald5 Delete Fades:
Select your audio, then run this:

sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
    menuPath: ["Edit","Fades","Delete"],
});

@Sean_McDonald5 Open Playback Engine:

sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
    menuPath: ["Setup","Playback Engine..."],
});

@Sean_McDonald5
Revert to Saved:

sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({

});

sf.keyboard.press({
    keys: "return",
});

Christian, Owen, and Mark,
Thanks for your time, attention, guidance, and solutions.

I feel comfortable/ confident enough to jump in and give it a go.

Much appreciated.

Best,
Sean
