GTA-Style Menus in REAPER? (Radial Menu)

[@kennygioia7184]

Why would I need to fact check that???? LOL

[@IDDQDSound]

Because you are just one of the several people whose channels are much more monumental :)

[@TheREAPERBlog]

thanks for going deeper on this tool. I never stuck with it despite how much I was impressed with it. After I made my tutorial I purged all that info from my brain.

[@IDDQDSound]

Yeah same here! This time I spent some time on it and when the plugin inspiration struck it was all smooth sailing :)

[@kennygioia7184]

"After I made my tutorial I purged all that info from my brain." - That's every video I make. LOL

[@MrSolcys]

Reaper elite here 😉

[@DreaM17Creative]

Just found this plugin today randomly and it feels criminal to not have known about this earlier. I need to set mine up and get used to it which is the long part but once done I know it'll improve workfllow so much faster than remembering so many shortcuts

[@gesslr]

Fantastic script. I can’t imagine the programming and work that went into it…Why is Lokasenna not in the community anymore?

[@IDDQDSound]

I kinda know the reason but I'm not supposed to know so I won't say anything lol! But most often when people leave the community is because they're insanely gifted and skilled coders and they unfortunately don't make enough from REAPER scripts to just do that, yet they often deal with feature requests and bug fixes, etc. The same. Which is why it's so important to donate to them! So we get to keep them :)

[@JimDooley]

I've been trying to use keyboard shortcuts for everything. I'm running out of keys and my brain seems to be shrinking or something. Wait, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, Lokasenna's radial menu. Ha, I need this ASAP. Thanks for sharing your ideas. You do have some great ones for sure.

[@IDDQDSound]

Thanks Jim! Good to hear from ya :)

[@JimDooley]

@@IDDQDSound Yeah, I kinda fell off the face of the Earth for a bit. Good to hear from you too.

[@Hocus_Tokus]

Amazing feature ! Thank you for putting this in light, and for Lokasenna who has done so many great & useful scripts !

[@IDDQDSound]

My pleasure :)

[@G_handle]

I’m glad you brought Radial Menus in Reaper back up! The other videos are super old, and I believe “Lokesana” quit developing this. But the potential is amazing! You, I believe have other videos on the normal Reaper Menus (let’s call those Linear). Can you have those pop up with a hot key, beneath the cursor, and disappear on release in the same way? If so, or if not, I imagine being able to keep your left hand on the Keyboard over a number of single press keys, and your right hand on the Mouse (or trackball, trackpad, pen), and then program Either Linear or Radial menus to pop up for almost every action. Replacing the memorization of keyboard shortcuts almost entirely. Any thoughts on how to use these in conjunction with each other? Video idea?

[@IDDQDSound]

Yes that's possible through contextual toolbars: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqbMc2uXfKmCZ5o

[@G_handle]

Toolbars not Menus! Still same question.

[@Philc2]

Love the way you do these. I often have to rewind and pause on & off during step-by-step instructions, but better that than trying to skip over fluff. It's really a better way and I get much more information. Obviously that is because you give more information, and explain the 'why's and options very well. Thanks!

[@IDDQDSound]

My pleasure! I often find when I speak more slowly no one watches, but the downside is that stuff sometimes goes too fast. The first draft of this video was 24 minutes long haha

[@eduserra]

This is great, Aria. I had completely forgotten about this wonderful script. I will surely implement it in my Reaper Config. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@IDDQDSound]

My pleasure! Yeah I remember when I first started using reaper everyone was talking about it but it suddenly stopped being a thing, and it so deserves to be :)

[@pekkyas]

Gonna tweak this one to insert fav plugins as well, and to just two other things...maybe three or four : ))) Thanks for this one, had the Radial previously, but never customized it too much

[@IDDQDSound]

Yeah when I first got REAPER everyone was talking about it but I was too N00b then. Suddenly I felt like I hadn't heard from it so I did this :)

[@mageprometheus]

Your cool video and a Leandro live stream in one evening. I'm so spoiled. Thanks.

[@IDDQDSound]

Glad you enjoyed them both!

[@joey_yangyin]

vid quality is getting better, this will help people get into reaper's reason for being the best daw >:D

[@IDDQDSound]

Thanks! I haven't even gotten to bust out my new camera!

[@tfmc3389]

Thank you for the link! This is an awesome find!

[@IDDQDSound]

My pleasure!

[@TadDoylemusic]

Awesome Arya! This is very well explained. Just what I was looking for.. Thank you!

[@IDDQDSound]

You're very welcome!

[@andreasfranzmann9634]

Awesome stuff, thank you so much! I need to get my track templates in there. Not sure how to do this yet but I‘ll give it a try. Thank you man, you‘re awesome!

[@IDDQDSound]

Use sws resources. I covered it in one of the vids to put them in toolbars, except you put it in your radial menu :)

[@Gang-25j]

@@IDDQDSound for the reapack, am I suppose to copy or move it to a certain location bro? Love the video my man you are the goat

[@IDDQDSound]

@@Gang-25j Yes. Copy them to the User Plugins folder of your REAPER install. If you don't know where that is, open REAPER, go to options>Show REAPER resource path, and in the folder that opens go to User Plugins. After you paste, re-start REAPER for the changes to take effect!

[@burningremnantsmusic]

Thanks. Endless possibilities 😎

[@IDDQDSound]

Indeed!

[@bluesky2145]

Damn good video !! Thanks so much

[@RemoProd]

This is next level reaper. 🤯🤯🤯

[@IDDQDSound]

Nice emoji! Gotta find that one :)

[@HLRxxKarl]

Does that "Write to Time Selection" command at 10:33 work for any plugin parameter, or only the fader volume? I tend to automate my track volume using the gain knob of a plugin instead of the main fader, but I would still love to use this action. And is it a custom made action, or a Reaper/SWS default one?

[@IDDQDSound]

It works for all armed envelopes :)

[@jazzbeats8168]

Is it possible to have 2 instances of the Redial with separate settings? 🙂

[@dawnsglory]

Duuuude! Thank you! Now I can get my COD fix without wasting hours playing 😅

[@IDDQDSound]

Glad to help! Though time spent playing games is rarely wasted imo. Have fun. The planet is only here a few more years *cry laughing*

[@Transperception-Band]

Thanks installed it but when I open it it closes as soon as opened!!! got a solution? thanks

[@roncoleman5007]

Can you select a VCA channel and set an action to spill selected VCA?

[@eranddroory9987]

Awesome... Thanks..

[@rumariomusic]

If you use the Radial Menu with short cuts you will be much faster. You will learn the short cuts automatic over time.

[@IDDQDSound]

I made this for someone who said he's not good with hotkeys, but yah

[@MattyB3]

hi Arya, I have an unrelated question. Not sure what to do. I created a VST strings patch and in the middle of the track I took a section split it, copied, and then pasted to an VST B3 Organ track. My issue is the last cord of the Organ track continues to sustain and will not shut off. Not sure how to shut it off and stop it from sustaining. And I also noticed in the midi editor the actual piano role is all grayed out no white or black keys.? And for some reason I cannot write in sharps or flats just regular notes, Grrrrrr,……Would love your help and feedback thanks.

[@IDDQDSound]

Heyy! So the Organ issue first. I showed this in an earlier video (5 midi options...) but basically when you cut and copied the organ track, the note off was cut out so there's only a note on message with no note off. Just select the last chord of the organ and just trim it back 1/16th and then put it back. That'll fix it. The notes are greyed out cuz you have key snap enabled probably to C Major. On the bottom of the midi window, untick the key snap and you're good to go!

[@MattyB3]

@@IDDQDSound Thanks Arya, So being stupid when I edit the VST string patch in midi editor the chords bleed into the next chord or even if cut them out it still has a sound. I tried your suggestion and selected the cord and trimmed back but still it continues or the end they continue to bleed into the next chords. Really appreciate your help. Thanks

[@midiman5045]

Zoinks!!!

[@cobraofearth]

I really need to plug in my play station controller and use this with it

[@IDDQDSound]

Hey I bet that would work!

[@manikmollers1050]

It's a great tool. Would be great if you could open different ones with different hotkeys

[@IDDQDSound]

You can! You can assign different menus to open in different contexts, or you can just duplicate the script, rename it and that should work too!

[@manikmollers1050]

@@IDDQDSound hm duplicating didn't work with different settings when I remember correctly but I will try again :)

Lokasenna is no longer with us but I'll have a try to remove the grey background. Not sure though if the window frame can go away

[@leafac]

@@IDDQDSound I think I remember seeing some frameless windows in ImGui, so I think it’s possible. But it’s probably a big undertaking.
