Hi Bob -
While I can totally understand your reluctance to incorporate complete automation of DX & VST plugin parameters considering the fact that SAW's Native plugin API is already so streamlined, and that it would require tons of hours coding it considering the clunkiness of MS's & Steinbergs API's, and that there are so many variables introduced by the different plugins themselves - I was thinking one very cool way to incorporate some basic ability to automate these things would be to let the loading of SAW's vsp or dxp preset files be able to be an automateable event. That way if someone for example wanted to change a setting in mid song of say their Waves C4 (still waiting for a native multiband comp!) instead of having to load two instances of the plugin on the track with different settings and automate bypasses you could just load the single plugin instance and create as many dxp presets as needed and they automate the load point for the settings you want to go to. I think this would take care of the vast majority of SAWusers needs as far as DX & VST plugin automation go.
Best regards,
Steve Berson
