Description:
Display user-friendly input names (and channels) everywhere you pick an input for
Adjust Parameter → Audio Source
actions—showing both the numeric ID and the user/driver name (e.g., “1L – Vocal Mic”, “1R – Guitar DI”, “7a”, “7b”).
Problem:
When creating an action to adjust an audio source parameter, the input picker lists anonymous numbers only. Users must trial-and-error to find the right input, which is slow and error-prone—especially on multi-channel interfaces with paired/lettered sub-inputs.
Proposed Solution:
  • Named Listing:
    Show entries as
    <index/sub> — <user label or driver name>
    (e.g.,
    1(a) — Vocal Mic
    ,
    1(b) — Guitar
    ,
    3 — Synth L
    ,
    6 — Click
    ,
    7(a)
    ,
    7(b)
    ).
  • Inline Rename & Sync:
    Allow setting/renaming input labels from the picker; names sync with the project’s I/O labels and appear consistently across all pickers.
  • Device Context:
    Include interface name, channel pairing (L/R), and mono/stereo indicators; optionally show a tiny level meter to confirm signal.
  • Search & Filters:
    Filter by name, number, device, mono/stereo, favorites; quick jump to recent selections.
  • Fallbacks & Safety:
    If a labeled input is missing, show the last known label with a “resolve” prompt and a quick remap tool.
  • API/Variables:
    Expose
    audioInputName
    ,
    audioInputIndex
    , and
    audioDeviceName
    for labels, debugging, and documentation.
Benefits:
  • Eliminates guessing—pick the correct input first time.
  • Faster action creation and cleaner large templates.
  • Consistent, readable I/O across projects and devices.
  • Safer on stage with clear labels and quick visual confirmation.
Examples:
  • Action target list shows:
    1L — Vocal Mic
    ,
    1R — Guitar DI
    ,
    3 — Keys
    ,
    6 — Click
    ,
    7a
    ,
    7b
    ; you immediately choose the intended source.
  • Rename
    1R
    to
    Guitar DI
    directly in the picker; all other pickers update to the new name.
  • Swapped interface? The picker indicates
    (missing) Guitar DI → Remap
    , guiding you to the correct new input.

Original Post:
in control settings show input names while creating a new action to adjust an audio source parameter.
Currently when you go to select a target input for the ‘adjust parameter audio source action’ in control settings all the inputs will be in a list un-named and you end up having to do trial and error to get the correct input selected.
Would be great if when selecting an input for the ‘adjust parameter audio source action’ the inputs could be listed with their names for example: 1(a), 1(b), 3, 6, 7(a), 7(b)
