SessionPrep - Session Preflight Analyzer using py-ptsl

[bzeiss]

Hi,

In my spare time, I have built an open-source mix session preflight analyzer that checks session files for problems and inconsistencies (inconsistent sample rates/bitrates, dual-mono, one-sided silence, silent files, clipping, negative stereo correlation, dc offsets etc.). From this analysis, a report is built, the problems can be visualized in a waveform/spectogram viewer and the files can be grouped, auto-assigned according to template presets and imported colored into Pro Tools with a DAW adapter.

Unfortunately, the Pro Tools Scripting SDK misses some functions to make the the PTSL connection more useful (clip-gain, fader levels, automation, inserts etc.). I hope these features will be added at some point.

It's not a pure Pro Tools and PTSL app, but something that can talk to Pro Tools through PTSL using py-ptsl. I figured this might be a good place of technical Pro Tools users to point to it and find a first few friendly users.

It's still in early development stage, but I hope there are some people reading this here interested in giving this a test drive.

This is the project page:

This a quick video demonstration how it works:

I'd be happy to know what you think and whether you think this workflow could be something practically useful.

This is a really interesting project and thank you for posting it here! The challenge with PTSL is it requires the host machine to have Pro Tools and be able to open it, this is a limitation for this kind of tool since it's so useful in the offline and automated context. Can it load text exports?
