Hi there, noting here that it would be a great feature to don’t have the window pop-off (see attached pic) every time you select/unselect an input/send on compressor/sidechain-send.
As well it would be great if there would be an option like the ‘copy properties’ that would consider those input/send settings.
That would improve a lot the workflow with the mixer. And probably it could apply to more things that I’m not thinking at the moment.
Using FMOD Studio 2.03.08
I’m afraid I’m not entirely clear on what you mean. Are you asking for the menu to not close when you click on one of its commands? To remove the “Connect to Effect” submenu from the sidechain effect’s context menu? Or for something else?
You can currently copy an effect by selecting it and pressing Ctrl+C, then paste it with all its settings intact by pressing Ctrl+V. Copy and paste are also available as context menu commands, and have the same effect.
yes, sorry, was not really sure how to describe it. Ideally the menu shouldn’t close once selecting one of its commands. Not only for the “Connect to Effects” but also for example on the compression “sidechain input selection”. Any menu that has the option for multiple selections to don’t close every time you select one option, or add a “shift + click” to keep the menu open.
That’s not what I meant here. I know you can copy effects and also just copy properties from the effects, but it doesn’t copy everything.
For example, if you copy a compressor form a bus with it’s selected inputs for sidechain, once you paste it on a new bus the input selection was not copied.
Hope this helps with understand the issues better. Cheers!
Ah, I can see how that would be useful! Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll add it to our feature and improvement tracker.
The input settings of effects aren’t copied when the effects are copied. This is because it is possible to copy effects into locations where some inputs would be invalid. For example, it is possible to copy a compressor effect from one event to another, but only possible to connect a compressor effect to a sidechain located in the same event.
That being said, I can see why this might be frustrating. I’ll investigate to see if there’s a way to maintain input settings in a wider variety of situation when copying and pasting effects.
