Skills are specialized workflows that combine multiple operations into single commands. They handle complex tasks that would otherwise require many manual steps.

​
Sound Design

​
Create Variations

Creates randomized variations of media items for creative sound design or generating similar-sounding alternatives. 
Create 3 variations of the selected media items, use unused takes and apply crazy randomization.
What it does:
  • Duplicates the selected item(s)
  • Automatically detects source items and a replacement pool based on timeline position
  • Prioritizes least-used pool items for more even distribution across variations
  • Applies randomized media item parameters like pitch, position, fade, envelope etc.
  • Optionally aligns variations to the original’s peak, keeping the same impact/beat points
  • Creates a region for each new variation to keep things organized
Intensity options: subtle, moderate, or heavy randomization. You can specify which items are sources vs. pool items, or let Reagent auto-detect based on how your items are arranged on the timeline.

​
Export Items

Renders selected media items to audio files with configurable sample rate, channels, and format. 
Export the selected items as 48kHz WAV files in mono.
What it does:
  • Exports selected items to the specified output folder
  • Supports multiple channel configurations (mono, stereo, surround)
  • Checks for duplicate files before overwriting
  • Opens the output folder after rendering

​
UCS Category Lookup

Finds the best UCS (Universal Category System) category for organizing and naming sounds. 
What UCS category should I use for a water splash sound?
What it does:
  • Searches the UCS database (753 categories) for the best match
  • Provides the CatID code for filenames
  • Suggests alternative categories when applicable
  • Shows proper UCS filename format examples
UCS is the industry standard for organizing sound effects libraries.
