Now, if we would get the characters from the end, that would yield:
BassAmp
FireAmp
GrindAmp
Amper
BlackShow
BlackVibe
JAMP
Of course, with some weird prefix artifacts, like, for example "BSSIONJAMP". Still, looks much more informative to me. |
Same result you'd get from regex'ing out the prefix though!
But looking on my own system, Airwindows and Analog Obsession don't suffer from the particular issue we're trying to solve for. The plugin names themselves are not pre-fixed by the developer. If I load the Analog Obsession FRANK VST plugin, the name is...
VST: FRANK (Analog Obsession)
Not...
VST: Analog Obsession FRANK
Same for the Air Windows plugins.
So that would display in the menu as just FRANK. Not as Analog Obsession FRANK. You can see for yourself by loading one of the plugins and reading the floating plugin header in Reaper (or doing a ZoneRAWFX export in CSI).
