I've had some other people report that they prefer to separate their dry signal and wet signals into separate busses, so they always run the reverb plugin 0% dry. The problem is that all of the presets have the dry gain anywhere from 70% to 90%, so as they are trying out different presets, they keep having to adjust the sliders over and over again. There have been a number of suggestions of ways to "lock" the sliders in place, but I'm considering a different solution:
Make the presets not control the sliders at all.
The plugin could start with some sensible default, like 80% dry / 10% early / 20% late. Let's say somebody wants 0% dry, 50% early, and 100% late, all to be mixed in with the dry sound elsewhere in their signal processing. They can set the sliders once, and then quickly navigate around the presets without having to mess around with the sliders every time.
Paul and/or anybody else, what opinions do you have about this? It would be way more simple to make than any other ideas people have proposed, and less code means less bugs.
