Wow! Don’t think I’ve ever won anything before 😯
Seriously though, it was very generous of you to offer a free licence and I feel honoured to have been the winner 😀
Many many thanks to you Frits!
Shif.
Congratulations Shifrin 🙂
Nice idea with the discount offer as well Frits. 8)
ConquistadorConquistadorConquistadorConquistadorConquistadorConquistadorConquistadorConquistadorNo worries Frits it’s just too small an issue to spend too much time on, (over analysing a misunderstood post or two)…so please carry on. In a nut shell some nice suggestions have been made and hopefully simple and descriptive suggestions will be used. As far as this topic goes I think I will sit this one out going forward. 😉

Seems like “Arrangements & Media” and “Plugins and Mappings” are the favorite. I was looking for shorter names, and I end up with longer names :-k
The reason I wanted shorter names, is to avoid having to write “the arrangements & sounds menu in the project start page” every time I refer to this menu in the guide, or on the forum.
I am a bit baffled by your response to be honest. 🙂 Surely it is more important for your users preference to be taken onboard for easier use of the application (in this case the terms /words used on those buttons) than for a personal preference you have for the names, just to avoid you having to type out an extra word in your forum posts for each button?!?!?!? :-s
Really IMO there is nothing wrong with the “Arrangements & Media” and “Plugins and Mappings” combo suggested. They offer short to moderate yet very good descriptive names for those buttons. I am somewhat puzzled by the problem you have.
Is typing out an extra word or two that bad? Just copy and paste 😛 Changing the words on those buttons to suit a forum or guide writing preference you have is a bit odd. They cannot be too long I agree. I think the suggestions made so far though “Arrangements & Media” and “Plugins and Mappings” are fine.
I have a problem with “Plugins and Mappings”, because if you consider the purpose of the “device mapping” object, then plugins are also mappings.
IMO I still see no real problem here.
What about this solution:
The “Arrangements & Sounds” menu is renamed to “Contents – Arrangements, Sounds”. The “Devices” menu is renamed to “Devices – I/O, Busses, Plugins”.
Err…is that not even longer than the suggestions we (forum members) put forward on this thread?!?!? Now I am really confused.
I included “Busses” because I assume busses are not generally classified as I/O? In this case I use “Plugins” as a general term for both ReWire devices and VST plugins.
That way I can refer to the menus as “Contents menu” and “Devices menu”, yet the button labels still show the more detailed description. Objections? 😉
Nah…IMO I would use the suggestions made. It’s a simple thing that does not need to be overcomplicated. Bigger fish to fry in Podium e.t.c
But hey….that is my opinion. 😉
ConquistadorConquistadorConquistadorThe term “Project ingredients” makes me feel hungry (sorry andyy815) 😛

Anyway, based on the above comments I think “Arrangements & Media” would be a good compromise, what do you think?
I like that. Short and descriptive.

“Device Objects”.
Anyone think this is a poor choice of words?
I would rename the Devices menu button to something like this
1. “Plugins and I/O”
2. “Plugins and Input/Output”
3.”Plugins and Mappings”
4. “VST and I/O” >I quite like this one.< 5. “VST and Input/Output”
