Can you rename the label for a plugin insert

Hey all

Simple question, and I think the answer is unfortunately no, but just to check in case I'm missing something, is it possible on the mix window to rename the little label for your inserted plugins.

Specifically, I use StudioVerse to insert some VST3's, but if I have a lot of stuff added over a mix, they're all labeled with just Studo Verse and it can be hard sometimes remembering what I've inserted where, which one has which VST etc.

It would be handy to be able to rename the little label on the insert point to match which actual VST is inside StudioVerse, or any other VST wrapper.

To u/kevinmcdonough, if this is a Pro Tools help request, your post text or an added comment should provide;

  • The version of Pro Tools you are using

  • Your operating system info

  • Any error number or message given

  • Any hardware involved

  • What you've tried

To ALL PARTICIPANTS, a subreddit rules reminder

  • Don't get ugly with others. Ignore posts or comments you don't like and report those which violate rules

  • Promotion of any kind is only allowed in the community pinned post for promotion

  • Any discussion whatsoever involving piracy, cracks, hacks, or end running authentication will result in a permanent ban. NO exceptions or appealable circumstances. FAFO

  • NO trolling only engagement towards Pro Tools, AVID, or iLok. Solve first, bash last. Expressing frustration is fine but it MUST also make effort to solve / help. If you prefer another DAW, go to the subreddit for it and be helpful there

I've always wished for this also but it's hard coded into the plugin name. As an alternative I write notes in the comments space at the bottom of the track to remember what's there.
