    1. With ReaPack installed, select Extensions-ReaPack-Import repositories and paste the ReaPack Repository url above.
    2. Locate the scripts to install by selecting Extensions-ReaPack-Browse packages and searching 'nvk'. Then you can select the scripts "nvk_FOLDER_ITEMS", "nvk_TAKES", and "nvk_SUBPROJECT" and install them with Actions-Install and then Apply If you haven't already, you should also install "js_ReaScript API" which can be found in ReaPack as well.
    3. After you finish downloading the scripts, you can find them in your actions list by searching 'nvk'

    Note: If you would like to automatically stay up to date with this and other ReaPack Repositories, you can select Extensions-ReaPack-Import repositories and then Options-Install new packages when synchronizing. Then, when you select Extensions-ReaPack->Synchronize packages it will automatically install all new scripts.

    js_ReaScript API

    You will need to install this in order to use certain features of the scripts. This is available by default in ReaPack and can be found by searching "js_ReaScript API" in ReaPack

    Basics

    About

    nvk_WORKFLOW is a collection of scripts for REAPER designed for extremely fast game audio workflows. It comes with three different sets of scripts that all work together

    nvk_FOLDER_ITEMS: Organize your projects with folder items: blank items which represent groups of items in a folder. These scripts allow for quick manipulation, renaming, and rendering of your assets with very little work on your end.

    nvk_TAKES: Embed take markers in your assets that have more than one variation, allowing you to quickly shuffle through variations.

    nvk_SUBPROJECT: A true swiss-army knife of a script. Create subprojects from either selected items or tracks, automatically trim and rename the variations, and re-render them from your main project with automatically generated start and end markers. Makes subprojects incredibly easy to incorporate in your projects by doing all the manual work for you.

    Known Issues

  • User fade settings might cause issues with some scripts
  • nvk_FOLDER_ITEMS - Render SMART: If you are rendering into a folder that is inside your Reaper project folder, it will not copy the items so you won't be able to re-save over them
  • Negative project start times will cause media cues to not embed correctly in sausage items
