Sorry, I mean become an owner

What is trange is if I can add them in the edit tab, why not being able to remove them ?

Thanks all for your great advices anyway. As far as I understand my custom tags are embeded in the preset and are rescanned and relisted each time. So if NiMBank for instance could clear tags from a folder that would really make my day, though it already allow to save a lot of time and make nice custom library . I am fine with bank names already anyway 🙂

1- Tag inside preset ---> Edited --> Saved ---> Tag is gone forever. That's it! No matter if you re-scan it 100 times, once it is removed, it can not come back. <--- (This is your case Kaldosh).

Well about that my logic is that after a clean install , removing pref and Db files, if I rescan my backed up user content my custom tags are added again in the editor's list

Which make me thinking that they are embeded in my preset and rescan.

For instance before I disovered NiMbank and did all my presets in Trash2 (all .AU in mxfx duh!) since I didn't knew the drill, I created custom names in Characters named after the prset bank (Agressive, Amp Edge, etc) which was convenient at the time for me.

Now that I've redone everything the proper way (but vst2 duh again !!) Those names are still in the list for some reason even after new os install, databas cleaned etc etc . So it doesn' really make sense to me since those AU mxfx presets are not even in my plugin folder anymore.

Now to top it all with all those upgrade thingy, support dropped and all, I must ditch a boatload of hard earned plugins, but also redo all my presets as VST3 for the sake of switching completely to windows at some stage to get those plugin back again on my list (though I already set up my dual boot and probably think of doing the mixing in windows with my full plugin list).

The worst in all that is that i finally made my dream setup , my Touch portal stream deck with all my Ableton pages worked out for fireing plugins, added plenty of functions that where missing from my M studio templates like buttons for freeze , flatten, add tracks neatly organised - I even imprve my M Studio Template with Bome midi translator allowing a deeper integration of the M Studio to edit my tracks with knobs and jogwheel, cut copy paste , selection with knobs, like top notch but to achieve that I use BMT+CommandPost . Loosing a lot going to Windows. and in name of "progress" if any system is becoming unstable like Maschine getting weird just at that time when actually a setup that is not touched has no reason to not work as intended really.

Upgrading to latest OS with my old firewire Motu looks like a lot of tweeking but as I saw on Gearspace it seem to be doable, Live 10 is still ok , Maschine is fine, I'd get latest update for command post which is great as they worked a lot on DaVinci Resolve integration but loosing a lot of plugins and I think that Kontakt 5 is not going to work if I am not mistaking. so all in all I fell "F**kin F***d . SO basically the whole industry moves toward opening to hobbyist but for professional wanabees , wow ! But at least you only keep the real winners .

Really I don't understand after thinking hard even with all the big picture plan and what not, all I see is some kind of every man for himself and good luck to us all which is probably not an ideal model. But hey, this is my mess I am going to clean it somehow and make sacrifices I guess.

I hope they won't drop support for notepad at some point it is a handy tool

I have limited time to look at all this, but some might be misunderstanding me. If you remove the CUSTOM tags from the PRESETS, they will be gone for ever. Perhaps I should have specified that I removed CUSTOM tags. I was saying If you found a way to remove them from the .db database file (not the presets now), you would likely find they return.

I think I understand everyone, you want remove a tag you see, but there is no entry for it in the tagging system. Maybe there are some you cannot remove. However, I have been able to remove some that are in not checked in the tagging system. I have still been able to remove those, because they are in the preset file and very difficult to figure out what to remove, but I've done it with a hex editor on the file. I'm not sure how else to explain it. BTW, after I replace the tag info with empty characters and got it to load in KK, I would resave those presets and the replaced characters would simply be gone in the resaved version.
