Basics​

With version 2 of nvk_WORKFLOW, nvk_TAKES is now a script which runs in the background similar to nvk_FOLDER_ITEMS. It's recommended to add this script as a startup action so that it runs every time you open Reaper. You could also add it to your toolbar or assign it to a hotkey so you can toggle it on and off. While the script is running, take markers will be automatically added to the first selected item in your project. This means that when you import items into your project, you can immediately start using the take markers without having to run the script again. You can then use these take markers to quickly cycle through variations of your assets.

Essential scripts​

  • nvk_TAKES: as mentioned above, this script runs in the background and automatically adds take markers to the first selected item in your project.
  • nvk_TAKES - Select previous/next take SMART: this script will either move the item contents to the previous/next take marker or if there are no take markers, it will go to the next take. If there are no more takes, then it will go to the start of the first take or the end of the last take depending on which direction you are going. This is the recommended way to shuffle through takes.
  • nvk_TAKES - Duplicate items and select next take SMART: this script does exactly what it says, it's great for quickly making variations of a sound.
  • nvk_TAKES - Reverse: this is an improved version of the built-in reverse action that works better with the take markers workflow. It preserves the take marker positions and also works with multiple items selected. It's recommended to use this instead of the built-in reverse action.
