Naming Mixer outputs

[Eric Samson]

Hi there,

Is there a way to rename the Mixer outputs?

It’s a nightmare to have to rename them in the DAW every time.

Thanks in advance. Regards, erix.

The only way I can think of is to save a DAW file that you’ve renamed the EZD channels, as a template, and start every new song from that.

Thanks for your prompt answer!

But that way, I will have to create a different template for each drumkit and mixing preset, right?

Is output renaming available in Superior Drummer?

You’d need to save every renamed drumset in EZD, anyway, even if you could rename in EZD. SD3 will let you rename to Bus 1 – Bus 32.

You can ask for renaming here https://www.toontrack.com/forums/forum/customer-service/requests-and-feedback/

Hi Eric,

that depends on what you mean exactly.
In SD3 you can double-click a Bus or Output and rename them in the SD3 Mixer.
However, this is not something that can be “broadcasted” to the DAW. If it could, it would mean that you would have to restart your DAW if you switched to another song with a different setup of instruments and outputs or else they would be incorrectly named.
If you are routing the SD3 Mixer outputs to Inputs in your DAW, it would be DAW-dependent if the Inputs can be renamed and as Mick writes, saved as a Template in your DAW.

For me personally, such a Template wouldn’t make much sense since every project I work on is different and the number of  outputs and what is routed to them differs every time.

BR,
John
