tags

[andrew b]

in SAW when adding tracks with names I see the names only in the multitrack, but not in the f mixer. Is this a problem in displaying tags?

[Dave Labrecque]

I don't know what tags are, but you should be seeing the track label text in the MT and the F, W, and Z Mixer views. Works over here on SS64 ver. 1.4.

Just a thought - Maybe you're looking at the track names as they're displayed, overlaid on the regions in the MT view?
They are seen this way when you have the Entry Name displayed (from the Multitrack menu) by default, or by preference.

The names don't automatically display in the mixer views unless you've entered names in the Track/Channel label area in the MT view.

RadioAd_Country.edl displays by default but others don't (it's a matter of how the track is written? tags? OTE] and if there are 40-60 of them, do you have to write everything down manually?

yes. RadioAd_Country.edl is displayed by default, but others are not displayed (is it a question of how the track is written? Do I need to manually write these tracks?, and if there are 40-60 of them.

Andrew,

Following is an image of the RadioAd_Country_Music.edl session mix...[...not too sure what you are referring to as "tags"?...]
* Track|Channel names can be added in the any of the Mixer Views...as Dave noted...



Another example...



What are the... "...others are not displayed..." ...referring to?

[Dave Labrecque]

The names don't automatically display in the mixer views unless you've entered names in the Track/Channel label area in the MT view.

Or in one of the other mixer views. Entering a name in either the MT or any mixer view will populate in all the others.

* Filenames can be added in the any of the Mixer Views...as Dave noted...

I think by "Filenames" Dell means track/channel names.

[UpTilDawn]

Or in one of the other mixer views. Entering a name in either the MT or any mixer view will populate in all the others.

I guess I need to consult the manual on this one...

I've never been able to name a channel through a mixer view in SAW - In SAC, sure - but the only place I've ever been able to name a channel is from the MT.

Tried just now, too, and it's a no-go for me.

UpTilDawn,

Have a "peep"...

2. [Ctrl-Left-Clicking] in the Label Display zone allows you to enter labels for sequential tracks. Pressing the [Enter] key or clicking the OK button on the title bar after a label name has been entered will automatically prompt for a label name for the next track. To close or cancel the label dialog box, [Left-Click] either the close button or outside of the box, or press the [Esc] key.
3. Track labels may be entered even while playback is active. If record meters are open, the engine must be stopped to enter labels due to the already opened and linked record files.

I'm confused! What can I say?

It didn't work this morning, but now it's fine........

Thanks for the extra push to check again.

Guess it's not something I do often.
