Does Cubase not have a way to automatically map the bus names to the names configured in the driver, and if not, why not?
mono 1-128 is a bit useless to me, and expecting the user to type in 128 names they have already typed in is very bad UX.
Hi and welcome to the forum,
No, Cubase doesn’t have it.
In the track, you can select directly the Audio Port, so you see the source name (as you wish). Or you can name the buses freely, as you wish.
What driver, what audio interface do you have, or any information at all on your hardware?
If you have many I/O ports, yes it’s tedious, but it’s a one-off process (in “Studio | Studio Setup | Audio System”).
Thanks, I did see you can use the inputs directly, and obviously, that does solve the problem, but I can also see the benefits of a bus based workflow.
Currently, I have 48 channels of Universal Audio Apollo which presents to the OS as a single multi channel interface, and I’m eyeing an upgrade to probably Apogee, depending on what is announced at NAMM.
This isn’t really about the naming in the driver, or anything broken. That’s all working perfectly. I was just hoping there would be an automated method of copying those strings from one field (the driver name) to the other (the bus names).
The busses get created automatically.
When all done you can save presets for inputs and outputs in the Audio Connections dialog.
