Reaper Script: V-Curve

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.
