Feature Request: Unique effect names in the Editor

It’s difficult to memorize and keep track of which effect I use for what.


A naming feature or a number suffix for multiple effects of the same type would be greatly appreciated. :+1:

You’ll be glad to know that we’re already working on this feature! It’ll be included in an upcoming new version of FMOD Studio.

In the mean time, you can name shared effects. While not as useful as being able to name all effects, being able to convert any effect that isn’t automated on a timeline to a shared effect with a custom name is still a useful tool for telling your effects apart.


Still having very much trouble distinguishing automation tracks from each other to this day, even when using shared effects. Hoping the feature you mentioned is still in the works

It is! In fact, we’ve actually finished it, though we haven’t been able to release it yet, as we’re still working on other features that will be released as part of the same version.
