I haven’t found an option in settings, but my workaround is to create a midi track at the bottom of the project and select that track before importing the files. Nuendo then places the files on new tracks and names them as per the file name. Not perfect but maybe it helps…
I see, the thing is, I have created template for mixing and have plugins on those channels, so I dont want to create new channels. I just want the names from files to go to existing track names automatically. If you drop files to empty project then they are named accordingly but not to the existing ones. Seems like a cool option to have tho.
Definitely a bit funny, but this can go either way. On some of my backing track and cover song mix work,I work with source files such as Track_01, Track_02, etc. names or Bass, Drums, Guitar 1, Guitar 2, etc. Sometimes all caps (BASS), but you know what? ALL GOOD! I appreciate the help!
Of course, there are also the Gtr_Rm_Mc_L_Dry and similar stuff, for which I appreciate the effort, but sometimes nobody except the original file namers have a clue what the abbreviations are for. Sometimes even they do not!
