Input-Gain Control on every plugin window
For setting up a perfect gain structure, I'd propose a tiny gain trim that sits in every plugin window - right beside the Bypass and Mix controls. It would be pre-plugin, controlling how much signal goes into that plugin.
This would eliminate having to use trim fx between plugins that don't have their own input/output controls (and there are many!), immediately correct clipping, and essentially allow driving the optimum gain to each plugin in the chain in an easy non-plugin-dependent way.
Thoughts?
