[RWP] Recabinet 4, general plugin frustration and suggestions

[Scott Chesworth]

Hmmm, I'd take issue with one thing here. Hadi says "There is no
reason to press hard on developers who do not care about
accessibility". I've managed to get a few positive changes made over
years of banging my head against this wall, but I'm yet to find a
mainstream developer who does seem to truly care about accessibility
to the point that they'll go out on a limb to make it happen. I'd
argue that if a product sounds good to your ears, then it's worth
pressing for. Obviously, you won't win them all, but if nobody presses
anybody, nothing will change.

Alex, I'm likely gonna get some eyes on the task of saving out a bunch
of presets from one of these amp sims soon because I'll need it for
the next TMH record. Which one should they be spending time on in your
opinion? I like the sound of Recabinet from what I've heard, but think
I remember you saying that one of the problems with it are that
tweaking the automatable parameters doesn't have any effect? If that's
true, I'd be hesitant to put time into saving presets for that,
because for me presets are only ever a starting point, they always
seem to need some extra tweakage.
