Search and Bus – Reaper script to create sends by searching for a track

The final update for today is for Nick’s Search and Bus script.

Updates v4.03:

• Added a loop that checks if a track (or tracks) are selected

• Added an error message if no track or all tracks are selected

• The selected track/tracks are not shown in the search results

• Made a blinking cursor to make it clear that it’s a search box

We all want Nick to use Reaper for mixing, don’t we? To make him do that he needs the script ‘Search and Bus’ that I just made (instead of watching Netflix during lunch).

This script is handy in large projects where you have 100+ tracks and want to create a send to one of your trillion FX buses.

Here’s how you use it:

• Select the track where you need to add a send.

• Run the script, preferably with a key shortcut that you created. You will now see a list of all available tracks.

• If you type a part of the receiving track’s name, such as ‘Reverb,’ the list will be updated to show only tracks with ‘Reverb’ in their name.

• Click the track that you want to create a ‘send’ to from the list.

• Done!

How to Use

• Download the attached Script 

• Load it into Reaper: Actions > Show Action List > ReaScript > Load.

• Add a short command to the script (optional)

• Run the Script: Start it to display the timers and new controls.
