possible feature requests: channel naming & filter linking

[y8s]

Just throwing this out there...

This is something I think about while working with mixers and the pipeline:
What if we could name the input channels (e.g. Left_in and Right_in) and the output channels (L_Tweeter, R_Woofer, etc)? It might make it easier to visualize the signal routings. Similar to how you can customize filter names.

Second, and related working with multichannel active crossovers:
It would be nice if all channels receiving the same filters could be linked at some point. Unless I'm missing a way to create a mixer that does this, is there a way to assign a single filter to multiple output channels without adding it two times? Partly I would like this to simplify filter assignment and partly to avoid making errors by forgetting to assign filters to both L and R channels.

I just look at the GUI and see the filter box in the pipeline where the channel number is and I really badly want to enter a second channel there, e.g. channel [2, 3]. Essentially making camilla understand I want everything done as a stereo pair.

These are both useful features. Aliases for channels is something I would like to add at some point. It's not easy to add though, that's why I haven's started on it. The aliases would then only be valid for part of the pipeline, for example the input channel aliases would be valid until the first Mixer. After the Mixer, there will be new names. If there is only one mixer, then defining aliases on input and output devices would be enough. But if there is more than one, then the mixers must also have a way tod define aliases for use between them. A bit of a mess, will take some work!

An easy way to apply a set of filters to more than one channel would also be nice. I have a few different solutions in mind, don't know the best approach yet.

I'll keep these things in mind for v2.0.0. I don't want to make any more large changes to 1.0.0 before releasing it.

I'll stay tuned. Thank you Henrik.
