Miscellaneous Actions ​

A set of independent small utility tools.

1. Toggle Monitor Dim ​

Action List display name: Misc - Dim - Toggle Monitor Dim (monitoring FX)

One-click dim the monitoring level, press again to restore. Specifically lowers monitoring loudness, without touching any volume in the project, so export / render is completely unaffected.

Behavior ​

  • First trigger: automatically inserts a volume smoother into Master’s Monitor FX chain and lowers monitoring by a fixed dB amount.
  • Subsequent triggers: toggles between “dimmed” and “restored”.
  • The dB reduction is configured in Preferences (default -15 dB).

Notes ​

  • Only affects Master’s Monitoring FX — what you hear in your ears, not the project signal chain, and does not affect rendering.
  • When in the “dimmed” state, this action appears lit (on) so you can tell at a glance that monitoring is dimmed.
  • The first time, a notification tells you the smoother has been added and by how many dB.

2. Enable LFO for Last Touched Parameter ​

Action List display name: Misc - LFO - Enable for Last Touched Parameter

Opens LFO modulation for the last parameter you touched and pops up the Parameter Modulation panel, saving you from manually right-clicking to find the entry.

Usage ​

  1. Move the parameter you want to modulate (drag a knob/fader so it becomes the “last touched” parameter).
  2. Trigger this action.

Then:

  • Enables LFO modulation for this parameter.
  • Automatically opens the Parameter Modulation panel so you can adjust LFO rate, shape, and amount.

Notes ​

  • Supports parameters on Track FX and Take FX.
  • Only affects the last touched parameter; does nothing if no parameter has been moved.
  • Only responsible for “enable LFO + open panel”; the specific LFO waveform and parameters are still set by you in the panel.

3. Locate Source Files in Explorer ​

Action List display name: Misc - Locate Source Files in Explorer

Locate the source audio files of selected Items in the system file explorer — directly opens the containing folder and highlights the file.

Behavior ​

  • For each selected Item, finds its source audio file and locates it in the file explorer.
  • The same file is opened only once (multiple Items pointing to the same source file will not spawn duplicate windows).
  • However many different source files are found, that many locations are opened.

Notes ​

  • Does nothing if no Items are selected.
  • Only processes audio sources; MIDI does not count as a source file and is skipped.
  • When more than 3 different files need to be opened, a dialog first asks whether to continue, to avoid flooding the screen with windows.
