Multiple FX chains per track/item
Allow multiple fx chains for tracks/items and allow easy switching between them for A/B comparison

Instead of a single fx chain, I suggest that each track/item could have multiple chains with a dropdown to select which one was active. The user would be able to create new chains at will, with the option of cloning the current chain or creating an empty one. This would make A/B comparisons pretty easy as you'd just clone the active chain, tweak fx and then flick between the two chains.

To ensure smooth transitions when flicking between chains, it might be necessary to allow multiple chains to run simultaneously but you wouldn't usually want that unless you were actively comparing chains. To account for this, each chain could have an option to either run in the background or shut off completely when not active and the track/item could have a master toggle to allow background chain processing.

This could also be used as a mini-snapshot facility, allowing you to easily save the active chain before experimenting with different plugins but without cluttering your drive with temporary rfxchain files.

but please with an option (or by default) to run the chains parallel at the same time. This way layering would be very convenient.
