The story behind nvk.tools
nvk.tools is a suite of Reaper tools for creating, editing, varying, rendering, and delivering game audio. They are designed to work together and use the same conventions throughout.
Created by sound designer and audio director Nick von Kaenel.
Designed as one system.
Each tool handles a different part of production. Together, they cover the process from finding source material to delivering finished assets.
Shape and add variation
nvk_VARIATIONSnvk_AUTODOPPLER 2
Create variations and add movement while keeping control over each asset.
Edit and deliver
Cut seamless loops, edit related assets together, keep subprojects synced, and render finished files with fewer manual steps.
Why these tools exist.
These tools began as scripts made to solve repetitive problems that came up during game audio work. What started as a personal toolkit became a free community project, then nvk.tools as more people asked for new features and ongoing support.
The goal is still simple: spend less time on setup and repetitive tasks, and more time making and delivering sound.
“nvk.tools scripts are the cornerstone of my sound design workflow and have saved me countless hours since I started using them.”
