Hello!
Once upon a time in FMOD 1 you could have multiple mixer tabs open, showing various mixer views, and the titles of the various mixer tabs would be clear.
Nowadays if you have multiple Mixer Tabs open they all say Mixing Desk which is unhelpful.
I was hoping this would be fixed in FMOD 2.03 but I’ve just checked, and it’s not. So can we suggest a feature update?
Love what you guys are doing with FMOD updates.
Thanks!
Thanks for getting in contact with us! This is something we intentionally changes, and as of the time of writing (March of 2025) it’s not a change we’re planning to reverse.
In FMOD Studio version 2.01.00 and later, mixer window tabs display the name of the snapshot selected in that tab, rather than the mixer view selected in that tab. This was changed from the old behavior of tabs displaying the name of the mixer view because it was deemed more useful: Snapshots, after all, have an audible effect on your game, whereas mixer views are merely a tool for streamlining certain parts of your workflow. Also, feedback and analytics indicate that relatively few FMOD Studio projects make use of mixer views, whereas snapshots are used in a much larger proportion of FMOD Studio projects.
Interesting response! Now I understand the logic. Thank you.
