That's what sends are for. Okay, if you're using the plugin in a chain, yes, then perhaps it does make sense. Usually not though.falkTX wrote:For me, wet/dry makes sense because not all plugins have it.
Imagine you like some reverb plugin, but it lacks "%wet" parameter. You want that reverb, but not as strong as it defaults to. The dry/wet would make sense here.
Well, not quite. If your stereo signal is actually mono (i.e. both channels the same signal), the effect is the same. Imagine a dual-pan (one for each side) as opposed to a balance, then you'll understand the difference.falkTX wrote:spm_gl wrote:
2. It's balance, not pan. Only mono signals have panorama, stereo signals have balance.
Oh, I didn't knew this...
AFAIK, the final effect is the same, so a simple rename should suffice?
Balance says which side is louder, pan says which side should receive more signal. But for the end-user, it doesn't really matter. BTW, I'd really prefer two pan controls, then you can also change the stereo width.
Alpha blending overlay? If an effect has multiple in and outputs, you have problems anyway.falkTX wrote:Another good idea. But what if a synth also has audio input...?
