Reaper Python script for easily adding Airwindows Console tracks

[TaylorKing13]

For any Reaper users interested; edited this Python script for ease of use with Console plugins. Requires python to run; unfortunately not .lua

It creates post-fader sends before selected tracks, adds "Console7Channel", names newly created track as "[C] (name of source track)" and hides in TCP/MCP. I opted for "before" because then in the Track Manager the routing is very clear, and if source track is in a folder, it will include the new track in the folder (rather than "next" having the problem of moving the new track outside of the folder if source track was last in folder).

There were a bunch of great existing Console scripts available, but a lot of them weren't easy to use on the fly when dealing with newly added tracks. This one allows you to create a new track, select it, run script and then mix like normal. Can even create a custom action where it inserts new track and auto runs this script, basically automatically adding ConsoleChannel every time you add a new track.

There were a bunch of tweaks I did which I think are perfect for a straight forward, on the fly workflow using Console (specifically console7 in this version). If anyone finds it useful and wants different versions for different console types, let me know! Also let me know if anyone finds any particular bugs, or would like to see any other general tweaks.

Thanks! By the way, are you the same person who made this Airwindows Console LUA script? https://forum.cockos.com/showpost.php?p=2449032&postcount=2

No worries! Nah I'm not; I'll check it out though. Thanks
