Mac OS Sierra

Even though the scripts seem to work fine on Mojave (MacOS 10.14), severe problems have been detected on a MacBook with Sierra (MacOS 10.13) installed (which has been identified thanks to a customer from the US). The error could not be reproduced on a Sierra-VM, though.

Data Directory for Audio Files

In Reaper it is possible to define a dedicated directory for the audio files in the project properties in order to separate the project files from the audio data. However, the MuCol-scripts can not handle this setup - so please do not apply this feature.

Certain Plugins Make Reaper Crash

Situation

Reaper crashes (closes) upon opening or closing a project (independant from MuCol).

Issue

Certain plugins seem to cause problems. This behaviour of Reaper obviously prevents MuCol from functioning as the process might get interrupted half way through.

Workaround

Avoid those plugins (if possible) or stem the respective tracks and remove the plugins afterwards.

Subprojects

Situation

Working with subprojects.

Issue

While it is possible to create backtracks from tracks holding subprojects, it is not possible to copy those tracks to or from instrument-projects (">C").

Workaround

Create stems instead of subprojects or create stems from the subprojects.

Save Project

Situation

Starting new project.

Issue

User is asked to save project.

Workaround

Save project before using the MuCol-scipts (ToggleIndicator or ProcessProject).

Toolbar 16

Situation

During setup the buttons used to launch the MC-scritps are setup in separate toolbar.

Issue

The predenfined menuset "MC_Toolbat.ReaperMenu" which is provided by the installation package only works with the "Toolbar 16". If you try to import the menuset into another toolbar an errormessage is desplayed.

Workaround

Use "Toolbar 16".
