preset name doesn't change Ableton

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hello, I'm going through lesson 6 right now and using the lesson pack provided for the chapter to follow along, and I see that for instance from the EQ Eight effect, selecting the Gentle Vintage preset over to a clip, it still says EQ Eight even though it is in fact Gentle Vintage.  
Can someone tell me why this is and how to change it over to what it really is instead of the main Effect Name. Thanks!

UPDATE:  hah just found out after I wrote this.  Show preset name needs to be checked :)

There must be a way to have this locked, because I seen when Rob was switching to different presets the names would change. I seem to have to keep going to right click and check this everytime I add a preset with a name.  Hope there's a way to just have this option locked, it would bring less confusion.   Thanks

	I hadn't noticed that had changed! I just loaded up some effects and get the same thing! I need to select 'Show Preset Name' in the context menu too! I can't see anything in the Preferences to select that makes this automatic.... I'll investigate though... r

	Thanks, There must be a way to do it, since I seen it happen on the tutorial videos when you switched back and forth doing the hot swap for example. Thanks and look forward to the answer.

	Hey Jon, Still nothing! I'll ask my friends at Ableton and see if anyone knows.... this must have been changed in an update because it's the way both my machines work now. r
