It’s only intended to show the power hand as the title of a Groove in the Song Track.

It just seems it would be convenient for all of us once we create a unique groove and name it – that the unique name would be retained with the groove for easy retrieval.

Once we’ve used a unique groove chances are we will move on to another in the same or a different project. The unique name could be associated with the particular project it was created within or a particular kind of drum effect. So, that when we wished to retrieve it again it would be easy to locate. But, by just showing a “Power Hand” for a title that is of little help when time comes to retrieve the song.

I would have thought in a robust program such as SD3, unique naming of created songs would be a built in function.

So, is it true that such a function does not exist? If not, is it possible to recommend this in a future release and if so how?

Thanks!

One more note regarding this. As long as the unique groove remains in the User MIDI window with the same unique name, it can be easily retrieved. But once it is dragged into the Song Creator window, its unique identity is no longer easily available which can be confusing with projects containing multiple elements whose names do not remain consistent.

If anyone has a work around for this, please let me know.

Thanks!

Yes this is true. There’s no workaround.

I don’t think keeping track of entire songs in the Song Track is really all that helpful. You just dragged it there so you know what it is, right? If you’re referring to individual Grooves, then Using Song Part Colors is the best way to stay organized at a glance (come SD4 you be able to create custom Part names). If you want to work on multiple versions of the same song and name them you use multiple Tracks and name those Tracks.

If you need more control then that, use the Customer Support Request/feedback forum to make a request.

I work with a variety of professional media programs. What is standard using them is that files names you create for files you create remain consistent. To my knowledge, this is the only situation where this is not the case. If I’m in the middle of piecing a group of grooves together in the song creator it would be helpful to have the names I give each groove stay the same as the names I gave them in the User MIDI – especially if the names describe the kind of sounds they are.

I’m not familiar with Song Part Colors. I attempted looking this up in the SD3 manual with no luck – which is another challenge of working with SD3. More often than not, when I look up something in the manual I’m not able to find it. It would be helpful if the manual were more complete.

I still think SD3 is an amazing program and overall I enjoy using it. I would just like to see more improvements if that’s possible. I’ll have to visit their feedback page.

BTW, what are Song Part Colors and how would I get them to work to help me?

Thanks for your help!

There’s no too much to figure out. Right click on a groove and go to Song Part.

It goes hand and hand with the Song Creator colors.
