[Macro] Tracktion Feature! Ripple Editting!

[OSBooter]

Have you ever needed to ripple edit things like a podcast, kinda like when you edit videos!?
Now you can with the use of these two macros! Made by yours truly!

I have more macros in my github so if you are into that go for it!

These are fantastic and much more elegant than something similar I came up with. Where are you getting info on methods like ‘markaroundselected’ and such? (A decent list of methods is sorely needed....)

[gesslr]

Also, thanks for the link to your github. ‘Select clip in selected region’ is something I’ve been really needing!!

[AGreen]

You can get info on some functionality by looking at existing keyboard shortcuts in the macro editor. You can also discover properties by opening the Waveform edit file in something like Wordpad. You'll see there are various assignments of properties and types, for example within the "track" section you will see properties like "filter" and "name".

Thanks for these nice macros by the way

OSBooter, AGreen - I posted the macros and info from this tab in the macro compilation thread here: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=500416&p=7015928#p7015928

[OSBooter]

I'm glad to be of help
