Mono Input/Output Friendly names
This rant describes my feature perfectly. DeeringAmps
This is just a rant, nothing so see here!
Since everyone seems to "accept" that Sonar does NOT handle "loop and punch" properly I'm on to a new (old) issue.
<rant>
WHY CAN I NOT CREATE MONO & STEREO INPUTS!
I'm sure its some kind of OS driver thingy, but COME ON!
Input 1 is INPUT 1, for cris sake.
A REAL console has 4, 8, 16, 32 101; whatever inputs.
Channel 1 is Channel 1, not 1-2 left, 1-2 right, 1-2 stereo.
I know the crap has been beaten out of this dead mule, but GD it.
FIX the GD thing!
</rant>
Thanks for listening, I feel much, much better now...
TTFN,
T
SPlat is the only DAW I own that cannot properly display mono inputs like a true console would display them. I have 18 inputs and not all of them are stereo. In fact most of them are mono. I would like to have friendly names like "Avalon 737, UA-M610, UA-6176, UA-710, JoeMeek, Vintech-3" and not some nonsense like "Avalon 737 - UA-6176 Left." Thanks.

Maybe we need an Input/Output manager along the lines of the plugin manager?

+1 A dialog for assigning I/O names would be nice, even for interfaces without a ton of connections. And why not include MIDI I/O in the mix. Oooh.... and maybe export/import to an external settings file for portability. I wonder if something like this might help for those cases where interface connections change depending on boot sequence...

+1 Something to abstract ins/outs a layer from hardware - something that follows project and simplify moving it to another system - just edit ins/out layer what goes to what hardware. And you can name them any way you like.

My previous interface made me crazy with the left/right/stereo thang. Coming in as asio 1/2 when it was only 1????
I am not familiar with other DAWs so I thought this was an asio stupid.
If the CW dudes can make this less dumb I encourage them.

Today I thought, "I should assign friendly names to the 2 front inputs on my Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 so that I know which is the DI and which is line in from my Pod XT Live." Never did I expect that this would be impossible, and that instead I have to accept "Mic 1 Left" and "Mic 1 Right". This does lead to me making mistakes during recording when I can't quickly see whether a track is correctly assigned or not.

Little tip: rename the input to (say) DI/Line In so at least you can use the divider to remember left/right.

I absolutely agree - when you have a heap of inputs, guessing that mono channel 5 is actually "Input 3-Left" is painful.

Hey we got the patch/aux thing, maybe properly named inputs/outputs will be next?!?

Are you suggesting that I should be able to name my inputs the same as on the mixer scribble strip? Where's the fun in that?  +1
