Typo in preset and Compressor edit bugs

Hello Steinberg

These two issues are old but still not fixed

Number one
the studio EQ have this preset, which I use often

can you fix this in the next update ?

you only need to switch two letters to get It right.

And then this compressor issue :

I expect the parameter edit boxes to be not open when I enter any plug-in
and only if I click it, it should enter edit mode

Can this also be fixed in the next release

Or ‘Reggay’ as in the iconic song Do the Reggay by Toots & The Maytals from 1968 :wink:

I assume changing the name of the preset would break backwards compatibility. Any projects using the EQ with this preset would not be able to find it anymore and would thus sound differently.

Strange indeed. Not only the Tube Compressor, also the Standard Compressor and the Maximizer show this behaviour.

Good point, but this eyesore would be worth the pain :slight_smile:

I consider these compressor issues bugs that needs to be fixed.

Ha ha, Toots Hibberts is the man who invented the word, but I consider the whole genre to be one of the most influential and captivating musical styles, so having a major music software developer releasing this kind of mispelling is super silly :slight_smile:

Have a nice weekend :slight_smile:

EDITED, since my lighthearted intention misfired and I inadvertently upset the OP.

But since there’s been conversation about it in subsequent posts below, I didn’t want to just delete it.

What is your point ?

No point. – If that post upsets you, I can delete it.

I just thought it was mildly amusing to find that exact typo elsewhere when searching for it. And I originally searched for it, because I was curious, if it was a legitimately alternative spelling.

And I also learned something today:

Just because someone is a musician in one of the most chill/laid back genres of music, doesn’t preclude them from simultaneously being a stickler for accuracy. :slight_smile:

More seriously: I also have quite a bit of grammar/spelling language accuracy fanatic in me. So I can totally relate. But over the years, I’ve slowly accepted the reality that typos and other language errors are ever-present. And a small subset even become the next version of language.

As my personal coping strategy, when a typo bugs me too much, I’ve taken to making properly named copies of such presets.


p.s.: I seem to recall reading, that we should report different bugs in separate threads and use the “issue” tag.

This is a user forum, and therefore Steinberg team members don’t read every post. Thus tagging things properly increases the chances that the right Steinberg team members will actually see a bug report.

I started with an issue tag and got corrected :slight_smile:

I don’t see myself a stickler for anything, but as I clearly stated it’s silly.

And your first input was not contributing to anything constructive here, at least in my opinion.

Reggae is so much more than chill/laid back, it’s a whole universe and I still wonder why it is almost never included in the genres lists, when I do surveys, for instance the one from Steinberg I filled out earlier today.

Whenever I have posted this issue it always, more or less, turns out the same :

I post the “Reggea …” issue and then someone like you post irrelevant stuff, and I try to understand why.

If there is good arguments like the backward compatibility I get it, even I still find it silly, but at least there is an argument for keeping a typo.

I get you later elaborations but imagine you had started there and not with the spam :slight_smile:

anyway thanks for the input, have a nice weekend

This topic was titled “Issue”, and was not tagged. I edited the title to be meaningful, and sent @Don-Brock a message.
