I just wanted these 2 tracks to renamed cowbell, but though I click on the name and change as usual to cowbell, one doesn’t complete the letters and the other has more unwanted previous name before it.
Your tracks are named “cowbell” and “cowbell (R)”. I swear, for being such a frequent participant in this forum you are really sloppy with your words, descriptions and all.
So, you mean the part and event.
You have your audio events set up in a way that the display both the filename and then the event name in parantheses afterwards. For some strange reason event names are called “Description”.
Here is the preference for it:
Why you can’t add an additional couple of letters to the art name of the sampler track is anybody’s guess.
OK, I guess since if I created a track and put something on it, the event would get that name, I just called what was on the track, the track. I thought I remembered formerly in earlier versions also that if you changed one event on a track they all changed, but I tested that now and see it isn’t the case.
Today, this fickle program let me add the remaining letters of cowbell in the upper left where you can rename an event, yesterday no.
Now I changed the preference so that it wouldn’t add to the clip name and that just made the desired name, cowbell disappear, so I will have to change back. You can see in the upper left I put ‘cowbell’ but now it is just named from its derivative. This is because none of my attempts to separate the cowbell and snare track sounds more clearly, by compression or Spectralyers worked. so I duplicated the track and went through the whole thing deleting where ever there were snare sounds on one to leave just the cowbell and vice-versa on the other track.
I just want to have unconfused names when I export for the studio, and not have any ‘snare’ on the cowbell track, or event which may be the case.
Cowbell (R) track has no snare sounding on it, despite the name snare (3706634536)_midi-01
I see. In the Info Line you have not enabled the field for “Description”. What you are editing is the file name (the name of the file on the hard drive).
Select an audio track, then right click onto the Info Line and tick Description, then you will see both fields:
Ah, thanks, very much!
Another thing you can do if you want the events to always have the track’s name, is to select the track name, as if you were going to edit it and type in something else, but instead type Shift+Enter\* instead. This makes the events(/parts) inherit the track’s name.
\*Could be Ctrl+Enter instead of Shift+Enter, I’m not at Cubase right now.
