Description:
Allow users to rename audio busses and optionally add visible notes or hints describing their function or purpose.
Problem:
Currently, busses in Loopy Pro are automatically named with letters (A, B, C...) upon creation, and users are unable to rename them. This makes it difficult to organize and recall bus functions, especially in complex projects with many busses. The default visual representation is also hard to distinguish from color groups, making the UI harder to parse quickly.
Proposed Solution:
– Allow users to rename busses at any time
– Display the name prominently (e.g. at the top of the bus or next to the letter)
– Optional: restore default letter-based name (e.g., "A") if custom label is deleted
– Add support for a “hint” or “notes” field for each bus (shown e.g. on hover or toggle)
– Consider visual improvements to further differentiate busses from color groups
– Optional: provide a UI dialog showing an overview of a bus’s routing and settings, including name, balance, etc.
Benefits:
– Greatly improves clarity in complex routing setups
– Reduces need for external “cheat sheets”
– Helps identify and manage up to 24+ busses more efficiently
– Enhances UI and UX, especially for live performance or sound design
– Makes Loopy Pro more scalable and user-friendly for professional workflows
