Hey,
Here’s a short but effective Reaper script to automatically create a V-shaped volume automation curve (6ms wide) at the cursor position for the selected track. I wrote it for a project to edit out clicks but you do you!
Key Features:
-
Dynamic Volume Adjustment: The script inserts three automation points:
-
Point 1: 3 milliseconds before the cursor, set to the current volume level.
-
Point 2: At the cursor, reduced to silence (0% volume).
-
Point 3: 3 milliseconds after the cursor, returning to the original volume level.
-
-
Automation Lane Management: If no automation lane exists, the script will create a volume automation lane. When executed on an existing automation lane, it applies the V-shaped curve to that specific lane.
-
Exponential Curve: The automation follows an exponential curve, ensuring smooth and natural transitions that effectively suppress clicks without compromising the surrounding audio quality.
How to Use:
-
Select the Target Track: Choose the track where you want to apply the automation.
-
Position the Cursor: Place the play cursor precisely at the point of the unwanted click or noise.
-
Run the Script: Execute the script to automatically insert the V-shaped automation curve at the cursor’s position.
