Audio Settings Autoload

samsonandersson · May 19, 2026, 12:37am

I’ve automated opening GP with it’s instances with an AppleScript

I’d also like to automate changing audio settings for each instance.

Here is a script I came up with that can do this, but it is not very consistent and frequently gets derailed. It uses a .py script with library pyautogui to find and click the Load Audio Settings button executed with AppleScript.

AudioChange.py

--------------

Finds and clicks the “Load Audio Configuration” button in Gig Performer,

then pastes the config file path into the dialog.

Usage:
python AudioChange.py "/path/to/config.gpaudiosettings"
“”"

import pyautogui

import pyperclip

import sys

import time

BUTTON_IMAGE = “/Users/samsonandersson/Pictures/Screenshots/Load Audio Button.png”

CONFIDENCE = 0.9

if len(sys.argv) < 2:

print(“ERROR: No config file path provided.”)

sys.exit(1)

CONFIG_FILE_PATH = sys.argv[1]

# Find and click the Load Audio Configuration button

location = pyautogui.locateCenterOnScreen(BUTTON_IMAGE, confidence=CONFIDENCE)

if location is None:

print(“Button not found. Try lowering CONFIDENCE.”)

sys.exit(1)

print(f"Found at {location} — clicking…")

pyautogui.click(location)

time.sleep(0.6)

# Move mouse away from Load button to prevent tooltip blocking Apply Settings

pyautogui.moveTo(100, 100, duration=0.3)

# Paste path into file dialog

pyperclip.copy(CONFIG_FILE_PATH)

pyautogui.hotkey(‘command’, ‘shift’, ‘g’)

time.sleep(2.5)

pyautogui.hotkey(‘command’, ‘v’)

time.sleep(0.5)

pyautogui.press(‘return’)

time.sleep(1.0)

pyautogui.press(‘return’)

print(“Done.”)

Any suggestions on how to tighten this up?
