Application that can interface with another app that's already open to incorporate a keypress?





That is a shot of my DAW, Cubase. That dial box was gained by using a key command, and now b/c "add track" is highlighted, I can simply press enter or return to activate "add track" and that works just fine. For reasons that are a bit lengthy, I am trying to not have to do that, and have that keypress happen automatically - without input from me. Unfortunately, Cubase does not possess the ability to incorporate automatic enter, return, tab functions.

I am hopeful that there is another app that might be able to do this. Of course I would need to open it in advance, but once opened, it would perform that keypress (and only that keypress) when that dial box opens.

I understand that what I am asking for is a bit of a long shot, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

Thanks in advance.

File | Key Commands ➜ expand the Add Track category ➜ select Audio Mono ➜ click on the little grey inputbox labelled Type in Key: ➜ press the hotkey combination you want to assign to the command, e.g., CTRL + T ➜ click on Assign. Next, each time when you press CTRL + T in your project, a new mono audio track will be added automatically without needing to confirm.

Hey - fellow Cubase user :)

Thank you, but:

1) the track needs to be stereo
2) I am not looking to only create an audio track; this is part of a larger macro

In that case, you can choose the Audio Stereo command instead of Audio Mono.

2) I am not looking to only create an audio track; this is part of a larger macro

In that case, you can put the aforementioned command in your macro, similar to how it was explained in this video tutorial:
