Auditory Focus Screen is a one-click REAPER Lua toggle that adds a single full-screen “focus blanket” track to reduce visual noise while you listen.
Focus Blanket is built for moments when you want to listen more than look. It temporarily replaces the busy arrange view with a calm, minimal visual layer: one tall track at the top and one long neutral-colored item spanning the project length.
When you toggle it off, it removes the focus track and restores your previous selection and arrange-view time range.
Key ideas:
- Reduce visual noise during playback
- One-track full-screen visual “blanket”
- Clean toggle workflow with restore
- Toggle script (run once to enable, run again to disable)
- Creates one top track named
U ^ ェ ^ U - Track height expands to fill the arrange view (REAPER clamps to available space)
- One long item spanning the project length (minimum 30s if the project is shorter)
- Restores previous selection and arrange-view time range when disabled
- No js_ReaScriptAPI required
- macOS & Windows compatible
- Podcast editors
- Dialogue editors
- Post-production editors
- Sound designers doing critical listening
- Anyone who gets distracted by a busy timeline
