Version 1.2
Shortcut added for quick mono-ing of a whole mix by use of a custom Stereo Expander. “Mono Mix” is added the Master track and the Reference track (if present).
Can be used without a reference track to just to check your mono compatibility while mixing
Great Idea ledger ! I think this tool will be usefull and downloaded it right now.
BTW: I’ve created a similar tool (Python Script) for Reaper:

Nice!
thanks for sharing.
Hello,
It seems to be a interesting tool but it’s not working in R 3.1 Rc2…
I have this error message:
"Please contact the author (scripts) for assistance…
main.lua:230: attempt to index field ‘?’ (a nil value)
stack traceback:
main.lua:230: in function ‘create_reference_track’
main.lua:469: in function main.lua:469"
Any ideas to fix this problem?
Thank you
thanks for the report,
I`ll take a look.
Can’t believe I missed this tool, it’s so handy and well thought out, exactly what I need right now. Thanks so much for it.

This error seems to occur if you try and initialize a reference track and the selected instrument slot contains no sample. i.e. it is empty or has a Vsti loaded instead.
The code line 230 is trying to change the sample autoseek from off to on. In this case there is no sample to access this property. I can catch this and fire a dialog warning/ status. I just want to check that this is the case when you are getting this message? or this is happening when you have a sample / specific sample selected in the instrument list?
--enable autoseek in current selected sample
if song.instruments[inst].samples[1].autoseek == false then --line 230
song.instruments[inst].samples[1].autoseek = true
end
My bad…
I didn’t load a reference track…
Everything seems to work !
Sorry for the inconvience 
Thank you again for this tool
No probs, I can still add in a status for when this situation occurs.

Sunday night Beta! may be a couple of bugs but think its useful enough to try out.
Now updated with a GUI and some new features:
Open the GUI with shortcut "Global:Tools: TRT Reference Track GUI"
and you get the following screen. Load a reference track sample into the renoise instruments list and press the “Create Reference Track” button on the GUI (same operation as right-click menu does)
The active GUI should now appear. The CreateReference Track button changes into a Go To Reference Track button. You can toggle the reference track with your song with the large button (there is a checkbox for single track operation too)
You can now focus in on 3 frequency ranges both your reference track and your song. These buttons control filters added to your ref track and the master track.
A volume slider underneath, controls the post volume of the reference track for easier balancing.
1.32
-Adds Menu Entries for showing the new GUI (Tools Menu: Ledger`s Scripts and Instrument Box)
-Adds a M Mono check button
Version 1.31:
-Fixed a few bugs
-Instruction text added to start screen of tool, notifying to load a .wav first
-When in single track toggle mode the toggle button disables with message when the ref track is selected (“Can`t toggle ref with itself”). Simply switch to another track/ disable single track mode, to resume
-Menu + sub menu added for “Adjust song To Selected Sample Length” + original “Create Reference Track” entry

New version below
Pretty happy with the functionality now, so if no major bugs found then this version will go up on tools site:
1.33
-Fixed GUI which was slightly wonky
-Fixed bug when deleting ref-track while GUI was still open
-Tidy code
In first Post:
1.35
-Minor mono state bug fixed
1.36
–added reference track sample name at top of tool
Beta 1.37
Testing welcome particularly with mac/ Linux due to file string handling - also some small potential for wrong samples being overwritten with [L] button function so please test with care
-Ref track readout is now a textfield, you can re-name loaded reference samples with it
-new [L] ‘Load’ button so you can browse your O.S. for a reference sample. It can also be used from startup instead of [Create Reference Track] button
-Samples now automatically have forward loop enabled in case you are using short samples as references
1.38
–NEW: When loading a new reference over the old with the [L] button, the script stops and restarts the transport playing. This means the new reference should start playing immediately on load. Side effect is pop/ crackle when using the it while reference track is not playing, but this is a less likely scenario
–fixed bug where [L] button would not initialise the correct sample as reference

v1.39
NOTE: I`ve noticed since using the new scrub slider and even just loading/ unloading long samples in renoise itself; renoise can be prone to crashing (Win 7 64bit here). Would be great if others could help try and nail down the conditions so it can be reported properly as a renoise bug.
https://forum.renoise.com/t/lua-slice-markers-bug/48468
Two main additions along with minor stuff:
–added Scrub Slider: available when reference track is selected so you can change its start play position. i.e you are in pattern 1 in renoise and want to hear the chorus at 1.23 in the song then just move the slider along until you hear the right part playing
–Added a Mid: checkbox so that you can choose between having 2 or 3 buttons in the focus section, for more filter options of reference and song. When 2 bands are chosen cutoff is centred at ~ 700Hz
–In situation when reference track has C#4 note but no instrument number (deleted by accident somehow) : Pressing [L] Will first ask user to confirm the renoise instrument that has the reference track sample, via a new popup gui
–new default note is C#4 as the scrub slider uses renoise sample slices to operate

I have added a link to a similar bug, apparently caused by something else that may be related…
Just wanted to start a thread and found this. Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for that!
edit: Just tested it and that’s absolutely great!!
I will mainly use it with older mixes to see if there is any improvement or not.
