Changing volume/peak indicators

2022-02-18 23:24:41.732Z

My first question! I apologize if this has been asked before (I couldn't find it searching), but is there a way to change the little box that displays the numerical value for "vol"/"dly"/"pk" in either the Edit or Mix window? I tried doing Click UI Element, but A) I couldn't find how to add modifiers to that action - changing the value needs a cmd-click on a Mac - and B) it didn't seem like regular click was working in there either, since it didn't reset the peak value (I know how to do that with a EuControl menu command already).

Thanks in advance!

I'm coming to the conclusion that a lack of an answer means this isn't possible. Anybody want to prove me wrong?

Hey @Eli_Crews, sorry for the slow response on this one.

Yes, this is possible! The following will command+click on the Volume Indicator of the selected track (Edit window only).

function toggleSelectedTracksAudioVolumeIndicator() {
    sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.groups.whoseTitle.is("Audio IO").first.sliders.first.mouseClickElement({ isCommand: true });
}

toggleSelectedTracksAudioVolumeIndicator();

No problem, and thank you so much!!! This is really great, but: extra points if there's a script that also works in the mix window AND skips over delay amount so functions like a volume/peak toggle?

(Of course that would only apply in Narrow Mix Window mode, in regular mode you can see both volume and peak simultaneously...)

Haha, half a point if I make it toggle but just on the Edit window?

/** @param {'Volume' | 'Delay' | 'Peak' } targetIndicator */
function setTrackAudioVolumeIndicatorTo(targetIndicator) {
    sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();
    sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.invalidate();

    const selectedTrack = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack;
    const volumeSlider = selectedTrack.groups.whoseTitle.is("Audio IO").first.sliders.first
    const currentIndicator = volumeSlider.title.value;
    let clickCount;

    if (targetIndicator === currentIndicator) return;

    if (targetIndicator === 'Volume' && currentIndicator === 'Peak' ||
        targetIndicator === 'Delay' && currentIndicator === 'Peak' ||
        targetIndicator === 'Peak' && currentIndicator === 'Delay') {
        clickCount = 1;
    }

    if (targetIndicator === 'Volume' && currentIndicator === 'Delay' ||
        targetIndicator === 'Delay' && currentIndicator === 'Volume' ||
        targetIndicator === 'Peak' && currentIndicator === 'Volume'
    ) {
        clickCount = 2;
    }

    volumeSlider.mouseClickElement({
        isCommand: true,
        anchor: 'MidCenter',
        clickCount
    });
}

function toggleBetweenVolumeAndPeakIndicators() {
    sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();
    sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.invalidate();

    const currentIndicator = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.groups.whoseTitle.is("Audio IO").first.sliders.first.title.value;

    if (currentIndicator === 'Volume') setTrackAudioVolumeIndicatorTo('Peak');
    if (currentIndicator === 'Peak') setTrackAudioVolumeIndicatorTo('Volume');
}

toggleBetweenVolumeAndPeakIndicators();

Oh man, this gets at least 3/4 of a point! Thanks so much!
