I would like to see insert fx in the mixer. I like the ability to virtually patch fx between the sequencer and mixer, but on large projects it can be very confusing. especially for basic things like eq and compressors. I think an "Edit>New Insert" menu in the mixer would be great. And if you could drag and drop fx between inserts, that would be awesome!

Also a bypass button to easily bypass fx and synths would be a handy function. And I can't agree more with Caleb's recommendation for the defualt fader value being 100 verses 127, to leave some headroom for mixing.

That's my $.02 :wink:

i guess you are talking about the Mixer comp - Insert FXs are"on the List"

"add INSERTS in the mixer comp the same way you can add sends. (Posting)
add Insert FX boxes above the mixer channels (Posting)"

Not too sure about the bypass - can you say what would be bypassed (given that a whole stack of things could be routed into the Mixer comp). Bypass in the Sequencer has also been requested -
"bypass any component within the Sequencer (Posting)"

I mean a bypass on each effect. So instead of having to disconnect wires, you just push a button. It wouldn't have to be ont eh mixer, it could be on the window of each effect, up by the cc map, etc. Being able to bypass to see what your effect is doing to the signal is essential.

A wet/dry knob in the same area would be useful as well

I just thought I would mention that when you add an insert FX onto a channel in the Sequencer component, the power button the the left of the FX acts as a bypass.

and that's exactly how it should work in the main window :)

How do you add an insert in the sequencer?

Hope this helps, it's an extract from the Command Guide Help

Insert FX - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Managing Insert FX
to add an Insert FX for an Instrument - click the Audio channel number, Add Insert, browse to the desired FX, select it
- - The FX appears in the mixer strip below the Volume Fader for the Instrument’s audio channel. It is inserted “pre-fader”. The FXs are applied in the order shown in the mixer strip
to remove an Insert FX from an Instrument - click the FX name, Delete
to rename an Insert FX - click the FX name, Rename (not yet implemented)
to re-order an Insert FX - click the FX name, Move Up
to open an Insert FX GUI - right-click FX name, Edit,
or double-click the Insert FX name

Controlling Insert FX
to turn the Insert FX Off/On - click the Power On button (not implemented for all FXs)
- - managing the Insert FX presets here is not yet implemented, you will need to open the FX
to change the Preset - select the desired preset from the drop-down list
to step to the next/previous Preset - click the Right/Left arrow next to the Preset name
to jump up and down the list, when on view - Page Up/Down
- - Some FXs load and save their Presets themselves, if so, the Preset list will not be available in the mixer strip.

to start mapping a MIDI CC controller to the FX - click the FX mixer strip, Edit
- -these commands are a copy of the VST Wrapper/VST Automation section
to map a MIDI CC controller to an FX Parameter - File >> CC Map >> New, drag CC Number to the desired number, select the desired FX parameter from the list
to map an external MIDI CC controller to an FX Parameter - File >> CC Map >> New, select the FX parameter from the list, middle-click the CC number, adjust the control on your MIDI keyboard or send it from another MIDI source
- - You can map the same CC to more than 1 parameter
to delete a mapping - File >> CC Map >> Del for the desired mapping

- - The CC values received can be scaled down, e.g. 0-127 in the CC Messages maps to values of 60-100 for the VST parameter
to set the minimum parameter value - drag the Min value up or down
to set the maximum parameter value - drag the Max value up or down
- - With Min set to more than Max the response will be inverted. If you route the same CC message number to 2 parameters, one inverted, then you can morph between them

After you've added an instrument you'll see a new channel on the mixer on the left. Just click on the button with the number 1 (on the right side of the vu meter) and choose add insert. You can add more than one insert and they will be connected in a serie.
