Options · Target Apps & Wave Editors
All Options tabs are accessible from View → Options Page.
Set your Primary and Secondary Target App for S and X, plus the Wave Editors used by W. Each has its own keyboard shortcut, but if the Primary isn’t running, that shortcut falls through to the Secondary (when your edition supports it).
Supported Target Applications
- Nuendo / Cubase
- Pro Tools
- REAPER
- Logic Pro
- DaVinci Resolve Studio (Free version doesn’t support scripting)
- Premiere Pro
- Media Composer (limited to a metadata fix — no proper API)
We only support Target Apps with APIs now, but you can still set other applications as a DnD Application (lower right) for functions like Bring to Foreground.
Behavior
Bring to Foreground
The selected target app jumps into focus. Hold Shift while dragging to temporarily reverse this — useful when you want to drop a file somewhere else.
Use Description for Clip Name
Sends the [description] field to the region name instead of the newly generated [filename].
Spot with Handles Standard / Ultra
Adds extra seconds to the start and end of files when spotting via S.
Spot Multiple Files In-line Standard / Ultra
Places spotted files head-to-toe on the same track instead of stacked vertically.
For Spot with Handles or Multiple Files Inline to work, the Transfer Sample Rate must match your DAW session, and Force Reference must be OFF.
Use Legacy Spotting Pro Tools only
Falls back to the old Avid API instead of the newer Scripting SDK. Auto-toggled ON if you’re below Standard/Ultra, or if you’re spotting to an unsupported version of Pro Tools.
Follow Session Folder Standard / Ultra
The Transfer Path automatically follows the audio-files folder of the currently active project.
Active Project Standard / Ultra
Shows what project is currently active in your DAW.
Wave Editors
On the right side of this tab, choose a wave editor like OCENAudio, WaveLab, iZotope RX, or Sound Forge.
- W — open in primary wave editor
- Alt + W — open in secondary wave editor
DnD Application
Pick a target app to Bring to Foreground after a drag-and-drop, when it’s not in the Target App popup already.
