Multichannel Lua script doesn't work (as intended) if defualt sends in Reaper are set to -inf #40

If you have modified your Reaper preferences to have the default track send volume set to -inf dB; then running the multichannel Lua script (loadSpectrum.lua) for the spectrum analyser causes each receive to use the default send value (of -inf dB). Requiring the user to manually set each receive to the desired level (typically 0dB).

Minor issue, as you can set up the multichannel manually by using Reapers track routing.

Hmm. Yeah.

I wonder if a variant would make sense that uses the highest send volume going out of each send track as the volume to use for the send to spectral analyzer. I feel in most cases, the sends to master will also not be at full volume for instance. It's a bit tricky though, since it would be a breaking change and I wonder whether people might be unhappy about such a change.

Ahh that is a shame. Wasn't too sure if it was an easy fix or not.

JoepVanlier commented 2 years ago

It's totally doable. The question is, which volume do you think it should be? The volume of its first send, or the volume that's on fader? Probably the latter, right?

jc-SpaceXp commented 2 years ago

Ok good to know. Yes, I would agree that the volume on the fader seems like the better approach.
