External Insert name

[Jean-Philippe ROGER]

Hi,

 I use External Insert for Eq, FX and Compressors. In the list of effects on the tracks, I always see "External Insert".
It would be very convenient if I could change this name to replace it with the name of the actual machine (EQ, reberb ...)
 
Thank you.

The External Insert is a generic effect for any external effect, so depending on how many hardware outputs you've got, it could go to various outboard devices.

So renaming the External Insert itself doesn't make much sense.

What you can do, is wrap it up in an FX Chain and save that as an FX Chain Preset which you can then just drag on to your track (or ProChannel) from the browser.

Here's a thread with an example:

Thank you Mark,

I did not think about using FX Chain !

I can do what I wanted

Good Tip

After a few tests, I have just seen that we can not properly use the Effect inserts in the FX Chain.
We can not, then, select the Return and I hawe crashes too.
Too bad!
