Stubai Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Hi there, I'm about to send a new project to mixer. He likes to get a wet stem of a guitar, with pedal effects and amp settings, but also a dry stem. So I've copied the original stem (with the effects, amp etc) onto a duplicate track, and then I turned off all the pedal/amp models for a dry stem. I named the tracks to reflect this, then selected them all, went to the Functions menu, did the ol' Rename Regions by Track Names. However, as you can see in the screenshot, it hasn't differentiated between the different track names - just doubled up on the first track. I presume this might have something to do with the audio files being copies, but is there a way to get around this? There are a lot of different tracks, and I don't want to manually rename them all if possible! Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinningbao Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Unfortunately I think you might be out of luck. I'd probably use the keyboard shortcut though (alt-shift-n), then you can just scroll down the tracks with your arrow key (as long as you don't have a cycle region set up), do the command and all the regions are named correctly. Keyboard shortcuts are the power move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can share the project, I'll have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubai Posted June 13, 2022 Author Share Posted June 13, 2022 Thanks David. How do I share the project? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Ok so I got your project, selected all regions (Command-A) and renamed all regions by track name (Option-Shift-N), and it works as expected here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubai Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 That's weird. It still doesn't work for me. Can I double check with you that the "wet" or "dry" part ofd the name at the ends of the regions changed for you? As you can see in the image below, that's not changing for me (ie. the second region should have "dry" at the end, not "wet") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubai Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 PS - if I individually select that "dry" track and do shift-alt-N, it will rename that region to "dry" - but then the "wet" region above it is also renamed "dry", even though I haven't selected it. So they seem to be linked somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubai Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 OK, thanks David. Do you have any ideas why it wouldn't work for me? Is it specific to my Mac? And are there any workarounds you could suggest to get the regions named correctly? All I can think of is to export the stems to my desktop, and then rename them manually (once I've figured out what is wet and dry) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Oh I see that's an older version, is that 10.4.6 as per your signature? I suppose it's possible that there was a bug related to the naming feature in that version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubai Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 Could be. Anyway, thanks again for all your help. I might just go manual for now. Don't want to update Logic for fear of creating more headaches! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
