what is your favourite, dummy/does nothing plugin?
for "dummy" i mean, as i read somewhere, a plugin that is in the fx chain to keep an order in thechain and save the all chain as a preset and later substituted by something useful. What is your favourite does nothing? probably there might around a plugin that just ables to do notes? or simply does nothing at all would be owsome, .
Thanks!

Is this simply meant to act as a spacer of sorts?

Lol. Clearly.
Do you also have a JSFX with a bunch of sliders with nothing in the block or sample section? Useful for clients that want to be too involved. Move a slider, "yeah, that sounds punchier don't you think?"
I'm joking, but I might write a JSFX for that purpose (just in case).

In all seriousness, the spacer idea is super useful. Thanks!

I've actually been thinking of doing this for some time. Maybe over the summer it can be a summer vacation project learning to code and skin a simple plugin that does nothing. (I already have a detailed idea of how it will 'work' and look).

This is serious stuff.
In audio school we were told this story:
An audio engineer on a cruise ship had a special channel on his mixer with a big fat RED fader knob. This was the fader for the special occasions. There always was somebody: TOO loud, NOT loud enough, you name it.
"Just move this fader but be careful. We don't want to interupt, you know?W
Always made the "clients" happy that way.
Just sayin.

I think this recent video from Kenny kinda fits with the theme of this thread.

Why would you want this? You can always put any plugin anywhere in any chain. Why would you need a spacer?

Since I'm mostly a MIDI user, I automatically add reaControlMIDI. However, it's not a dummy plugin - it is very useful. The MIDI monitor and everything else works great and is highly useful.

Thank you for that, Jon! I renamed it in the FX-window with an "empty" name and achieve exactly what is shown in the quote below. It works with e.g. "bypassing FX in slot1" and can be saved within a FX-chain. Cooool!

I don't see the point...you can add a plug in anywhere in the chain, any time.
Why save a space ? And how do you know that's the spot to save ?
