Appearance

Record - Internal Record From Selected Items ​

Records the sound of the selected Items after passing through their entire signal chain into a new audio file inside the project — automatically following Sends and Folder routing to the summing point, creating a new record track, and cleaning up when done.

Useful for "baking" a group of sounds with FX and routing into a single dry-ready stem without manually patching cables.

Behavior ​

When triggered, the Action automatically:

  1. Starts from the tracks of the selected Items and follows the signal downstream (Folder parent sends and explicit Sends are both followed) to find the final summing-point track(s).
  2. Creates a new record track at the top of the project (named MTK_InternalRec).
  3. Routes the summed signals from each summing point into this record track, recording the processed sound.
  4. Sets the recording range based on the overall range of the selected Items, with 0.5 seconds of pre-roll and 1 second of tail.
  5. Starts recording and stops automatically at the end.
  6. After stopping, removes the temporary routing and restores the pre-recording state (track arm states, time selection, loop state, and cursor position).

Notes ​

  • If no Items are selected, a notification is shown and nothing happens.
  • If no valid summing point is found (for example, the selected track goes straight to Master), a notification is shown and nothing happens.
  • At start, the Action temporarily changes: stops any playing/recording, turns off loop, disarms all tracks, arms only the record track, and sets the time selection — all of which are restored after recording.
  • The record track captures the sound after the final summing point; signals that have already reached Master are not followed (to avoid re-recording the main output).
  • Muted Sends are skipped and ignored for routing.
  • Only one internal recording can run at a time; triggering again while recording is in progress shows a notification.
  • To stop midway, press REAPER's Stop button; this Action will detect it and finish cleanup / state restoration automatically.
