Re: cmon Avid, it's time for hardware insert bypass
I would warmly welcome hardware bypass.
Moving over to a particular unit in the rack and out of the listening sweet spot to physically hit bypass is often times not ideal.
While you can de-activate with transport running, there is often a nasty blast of noise associated with that, which can mentally take you „out of the zone“ when doing critical listening with minimal processing going on, especially when it comes to mastering and/or with the client in the room.
I am aware that each hardware insert would probably need an additional voice, so it would probably make sense to add a global preference for hardware bypass where the user can decide whether he really wants it.
