First thank you for sharing your skill in the logic macro land.
I use mainly Logic for Post-production and I am constantly opening mp4, usually they all have sound embeded and Logic X doesent auto mute when importing a Movie so I made a simple macro to Mute the video when it's imported to a Session that can be easely be linked to a streamdeck button, or modded to be executed by a keyboard key press. Mind you that the same principle applies to use your keybindings in the Green Actions, hope it helps anyone.
When pressed once it mutes the video, when pressed again it un-mutes it
I need to be able to use Bounce Tracks.kmmacros. When I use the key macro, a pop up window comes up, I leave all the options as they are, choose a folder, and then nothing happens.
I'm on OSX 15.5, logic pro 11.2, resolution 2560x1440 (on exeternal display). I've attached screenshots that may help.
I can bounce just the full mix (if I select the option to do so), but whether I do so or not, a folder is created on my desktop but there is no bouncing of the stems happening for me in there (see screenshots).
this macro did not include Bounce Tracks (Current Session) (SUB!) so I kept the old one. Was I not supposed to do so?
Checking the key commands helped! I also had to make sure I actually clicked on the master. It was indeed selected, but along with stereo out and it needed to be selected on its own. I was able to bounce all my tracks. As you can see the session was rather big. That's very helpful!
Just to make sure I fully understand the script: It soloes tracks one by one and export them, effectively through all their related busses - is that correct?
I still have a couple issues I'd like to flesh out:
the first stem at is exported at 192kHz, the rest is exported at the requested 48kHz
can cylce mode be defaulted to ON (in case it's off) and switchable in the contextual menu?
Can normalisation be defaulted to overload protection only and switchable in the contextual menu?
Can the user select the output folder in the export window?
Can the selection of the Master track on its own be automated?
Your scripts are already a massive help as they are. Those would just be plusses. Any help/pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Yes, exactly. Logic already has faster exporting options when you don't need bus/send routing included, but full-stream bouncing has always been a laborious task that I sought to automate.
Fixed!
There will be some users who want it on and some who want it off. Therefore, I think it may be simpler to manually set the cycle range before triggering the macro, which I think most people do as a matter of course anyway. Happy to discuss further if you have a different point of view.
Done, but not made switchable in the main prompt, as I can't see why any other option would be desirable in practical terms for batch bouncing. I don't think I've used a different setting once in the past 20 years!
