Thank you for considering this mcasen. The separate list method is working ok but a little cumbersome when I create new patches in one list and then manually copy/edit to another. I had thought about the Hotswitch idea, but it leads to forgetfulness when I have higher mix level programs that I forget to bump up to 100% mix before bus recording (uncovering phasing problems as I listen back later).
I was thinking of having mix lock implemented similarly to global tempo vs. program. Maybe under System -> Preferences as a toggle between Bus Recording (100% Mix Globally Locked) and Effects Loop (use Program-saved mix values).
I don’t know if this would be intuitive for most users though. Maybe others can weigh in?
