Automatically toggle FX and PDC during record

[Terry Kelley]

I have to turn off FX when I record to eliminate the midi note delay and re-enable it on playback. I would be nice to set a flag that would do this automatically. When you hit record (not just arm a track) FX is disabled without having to click the icon. After a stop, hitting playback enables it again.

Something like "Disable FX during Record."

Oh I like this idea. It would be a good thing to have under Preferences/Record.

Having FX switch back on when in Play would also eliminate that moment of "my mix sounds like poo" before I remember that of course it does, I turned off all the FX in order to track. ?

It could come back on with a stop or playback. I guess if you turned it off with the icon it might come back on with a stop or playback though.  Of course like 50 other things I fail to remember (block size, etc.), I would have to go "oh, yeah, I have it set to toggle in Preference."

The expected behavior for me would be that it would just do what it says: if your FX are on, it will turn them off when you hit Record. When you stop recording, your system will be returned to whatever state it was in before you hit Record. If you had already switched global FX off, that would be the same.

You’re right. Just toggle.
