Example Workflows

Each line in a block is a separate prompt. Pick one, change the names and numbers to fit your project, and send it. Before you send a prompt, make sure REAPER is open with the Bridge running and the SWS extension installed. “This” and “the selected items” mean what’s selected in REAPER or Wwise when you send (Working with Selections). Depending on your permission mode, Reagent asks before changes, and REAPER’s undo doesn’t cover rendered, moved or renamed files (Undo and Recovery).

Organize Tracks and Items

Rename tracks and items

Rename each track to match the file name of its first item, without the extension

Rename the selected items to SFX_Impact_001, SFX_Impact_002 and so on

Rename the selected items after their track, with a number at the end: Footsteps_01, Footsteps_02 and so on

Color tracks and items

Color all tracks with "impact" in the name red

Color each item to match its track's color

Add or remove fades

Add 10 ms fade-ins and fade-outs to the selected items

Remove all fades from the items on the SFX tracks

Add markers and regions

Add a red marker at every transient in the selected item

Add a region around each selected item, named after the item

Silence and Transients

Remove silence from sound effects

Remove the silence from these items

Only remove silence from items longer than 10 seconds

Remove the silence from every item in the time selection

Silence removal is meant for sound effects, not dialogue (Level and Edit Dialogue). For its default settings, see REAPER Tools. You can set your own values, such as “treat anything below -50 dB as silence”. Split, move or mark items at transients and peaks

Split each selected item 5 ms before its first transient

Move the selected items so their first transients line up with the edit cursor

Add take markers at the peaks in the selected items

For a predictable result, name what to line things up with, such as the edit cursor or the first item’s transient.

Create Variations

The Create Variations skill copies the selected sound, can swap in alternative recordings you’ve also selected, and randomizes the copies.

Create 3 variations of the selected sound

Make 5 variations of the selected item with maximum intensity

Control what changes Settings you name override the intensity; add “nothing else” to change only those.

Create 4 variations of the selected item, varying only the pitch

Make 4 variations with small timing differences, nothing else

Level and Edit Dialogue

Level dialogue volume, or ask Reagent to split or trim items at times you give it. Level dialogue volume

Level the volume on the selected dialogue items

Level the selected items to -23 LUFS

See Volume Leveling.

Edit Dialogue Automatically

Edit the VO on the selected items and remove the incomplete takes

Edit this podcast using the attached script

Transcription doesn’t run on your computer. Reagent uploads the audio to temporary storage on Reagent’s servers, which send it to ElevenLabs for transcription. See Dialogue for details, and Privacy & Security for where the audio goes.

UCS Names and Metadata

Find a UCS category

What UCS category fits a car engine idling?

Classify the selected items and tell me the top UCS category for each one

See UCS Classification. Rename with UCS names

Rename the selected items with UCS names. My creator ID is PK and the source ID is FOLEY01.

UCS (Universal Category System) names follow the pattern CatID_FXName_CreatorID_SourceID. Include your creator ID and source ID, as above, so Reagent doesn’t have to ask. For items in REAPER, Reagent renames the item, not the audio file on disk. To get files with UCS names, render the items. Read metadata

What metadata is embedded in the selected item's source file?

Reagent can’t write metadata into audio files yet. See Writing Metadata.

Render Files

Render the selected items as 24-bit WAVs to an Exports folder on my Desktop

Render the selected items as 16-bit WAVs into a folder I choose

See Rendering for formats and settings.

Search and Preview

Count and list what’s in your project

How many tracks and items are in this project?

List all markers and regions

List every track with its item count as CSV text

Reagent can’t save text files, so it puts CSV and other text in the chat for you to copy into a file. Find and select items and tracks

Which track has the most items?

Select all items with "explosion" in their name

Select all tracks that have an EQ with a high-pass filter on them

Select the silent items on the Foley track

Check a change before Reagent makes it

Show me which items would be affected if I deleted all items shorter than 100 ms, but don't delete them yet

Write a script that colors every muted item gray, but don't run it

For a script, Reagent shows the code in a Create script block (ReaScript). Nothing runs until you click its play button (Run script). To keep it as a REAPER action, click the save button (Save to REAPER Actions).

Wwise

Wwise Authoring must be open and connected. See Connect to Wwise. Ask about your project, or change it

Which SoundBanks include the selected Event?

Set the Volume of every Sound in this container to -6 dB

Mix a sound you just heard in your game First connect Wwise to the running game and start Profiler capture (press F5 in Wwise). See Live Mixing.

Make the dagger swing 3 dB louder

To reverse a Wwise change, use Edit > Undo in Wwise. See Undoing Changes.

Chain Several Steps

Put several steps in one request, and Reagent works through them in order. Send each block below as one message. Line up a set of hits

For each selected sound effect:
Find the main transient
Move the item so the transient lands on the edit cursor
Add a 5 ms fade-in

Clean up raw sound effect recordings

For every item on the "Raw SFX" track:
Remove the silence
Add 5 ms fade-ins and fade-outs to the pieces
Move the pieces to the "Processed" track
Color them green

Prepare sounds for a library

For the selected items:
Remove the silence
Give each piece a UCS name. My creator ID is PK and the source ID is FOLEY01.
Render each piece as a 24-bit WAV into a folder I choose
List the rendered files

Silence removal can turn each item into several pieces, so you may get more files than the items you selected.

If a long chain stops early, ask it to continue. See Multi-Step Requests.
To rerun a chain, save it as a slash command.
