This may be possible already, although I've not found it.

I'd like to label my audio busses in the Audio Output window so I dont cock up when I've got 4 or 5 going out at the same time ;).

I sent this same suggestion today to vMix via their website, they asked me to post it here - so pasting away!

Would be really great to either change the name of the audio busses A-G, or have a label of some sort displayed next to the bus name. Why? We use many different mixing scenarios, as well as many different operators. On our physical audio desks, we have labeling features for inputs and outputs. When someone calls up a saved show file, they may or may not be familiar with the intended audio flow. Labels remind us all what is going where. So there's no guesswork that bus A would be a mix-minus to guest, bus B is IFB program for the studio, or that buss G is the Spanish feed. Saving these labels with each project is key, rather than having them as a global function.

Extending this idea to the video/stream outputs wouldn't be a bad idea either.

We have extensive network broadcast experience, and are just getting started with vMix. We love the current functionality and are very impressed with the stability so far. Looking forward to using this software more... thanks for listening!

Labeling outputs and mix busses is a must!

We can label our inputs, so we should be able to label our outputs!

Anyone found or heard anything on this? Got a gig coming up that this would be a godsend for (otherwise it's out with the post-it notes and sharpie again!)

+1 would be REALLY helpful for anyone using more than 1 or 2 buses, especially in changing setups

Kind of ugly having to tape bus mapping charts to the monitor for the operators...

Absolutely! I agree completely.

I am already regularly using Buses C & D (I have multiple talent and crew mixes being fed out my 18i 20o interface). Using vmix to manage them all is awesome.

+1 on the labels.

Totally agree with this one. When you have up to 5 separate buses running, you tend to forget which is which.

+1. I currently have the audio mixer at the top of my second monitor with white tape and a sharpie on standby for marking up the buses!!!
