Topic: Names of exported segments sounds

So ?

If you want it to behave like you describe, then I should modify the “export segment” command to store the user-supplied filename as the name inside the wav file, instead of the name of the sound object?

Yes.
Much more logical and less time consuming.

Perhaps is there some case where it may have some interest that the imported sounds have not the name of the files, but I don’t see anything actually.
Especially it is necessary to rename the sounds to identify them, and we have also to save them after renaming…

But a possibility to change the names of the audio events in the arrangement in a non destructive manner will be nice for the future.

Thanks.

Yeah !!

Thank you a lot Frits !

Do you think that a non destructive way to give a name to an audio event will be possible at some point ?
That is to say that the “Sound Name” option in the sound properties box give a name to the instance of the sound instead of the file ?

No !

Excuse me if explain badly…

When we split a long file in different sequences, it is very usefull to give different names to distinguish them, like for other kinds of sequences, MIDI or envelopes.
This doesn’t mean saving the sounds, only give names to the audio events in the arrangement, not the sounds themselves.

It is an ordinary method when making audio editing.
I can do without it, it is just in the case…

In the arrangement I make only non destructive editing, split, resize etc.
It is only phantom copies of the sound datas but must be “real copies” of the sequences like in other DAWs.

The name is not stored as part of the sequence event.

So it would require a specific “event name” ?

I think that the concept of real copies / phantom copies is not very relevant for audio sequences since in general we make destructive editing, and export of segments, in the sound editor window.
An option to turn an audio sequence into a new sound could be usefull in some cases, but for me, and it is how other softwares do, the arrangement must be non destructive but with sequences parameters.

I suppose that it is how it will work for fades and events volume ???
For example, if I make a (phantom) copy of an audio event I will be able to set different fades and volumes for each one witout having to copy the sound datas ?
