Reagent

Introduction to Reagent

Reagent is the audio editor AI agent for REAPER. It is designed to act as a sound designer and editor, allowing users to control their Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) using natural language. By describing complex, repetitive, or tedious workflows, users can let Reagent handle the technical execution, making the process more efficient and intuitive.

This AI agent is built specifically for REAPER, leveraging its internal structure and capabilities to provide seamless integration. Whether it's creating variations from a region, analyzing audio content, or automating workflows, Reagent simplifies tasks that would otherwise require scripting or manual intervention. The goal is to empower sound designers and audio engineers with an intelligent assistant that understands their needs and executes them with precision.

Takeaways

• Control REAPER using natural language
• Automate complex and repetitive workflows
• Analyze audio for peaks, silence, and spectral content
• Create variations from regions in REAPER
• Real-time collaboration via REAPER Bridge
• No scripting required
• Works with various audio processing tools and plugins

How Reagent Works

Reagent functions by interpreting user input in plain English and translating it into actionable commands within REAPER. It uses advanced AI models to understand context, recognize audio patterns, and execute multi-step operations efficiently. The agent connects directly to REAPER through the Bridge, allowing it to take actions on behalf of the user without requiring manual interaction.

Users can describe what they want done, such as "create 5 variations from region 1," and Reagent will automatically identify the relevant media items, analyze their content, and apply the necessary transformations. This includes aligning takes, detecting transients, and generating variations with dynamic settings based on the user's input.

Core Benefits and Applications

Reagent is ideal for sound designers, audio editors, and producers who want to streamline their workflow and focus more on creativity rather than technical execution.
