Audiosuite - Defaulter - Analyze not Render

Ah you are a superstar! Can't believe people put so much time in to helping each other out with scripts, it's really humbling :)

I should say - that inbetween posting and you posting a solution, I did discover that with "fire macros" enabled, what Defaulter is actually doing is sending key commands to Keyboard Maestro to trigger macros. So I downloaded the demo, nabbed the key commands it's using and remade it in Soundflow. So after each clip is processed, Defaulter sends Shift+Ctl+Alt+Cmd+0 to keyboard Maestro, so I used that to continue my Macro and all working well now.

Thank you again!

Hi @Chris_Andrews!

The workflow outlined earlier in this thread should work for all selected clips in the session. I believe it relied on using the corresponding Keyboard Maestro macros from Quiet Art. See the FAQ section here, specifically "The macros no longer work after Pro Tools upgrade (Mac)":
https://quietart.co.nz/defaulter/

However, the workflow is pretty buggy on my current system. Also, since I'm all in on SoundFlow, I prefer to avoid using Keyboard Maestro.

Below is my version of a defaulter workflow. It should work on all selected clips and has a parameter to define a preset to load if desired. Please note that leaving "Fire Macro Keys" OFF is vital for my script to behave as expected.

// IMPORTANT: The "fire macro keys" checkbox should be OFF for this version to run. 

// Put a Preset Name in the Parentheses to load a named preset
// ex: let presetToLoad = '24 LUFS';
let presetToLoad = '';
