Hi i don’t know if that actually is a thing or a possibility and i have just not found it and activated yet, but as a former Reaper User i was always accustomed to have a built in mix knob or wet/dry thingamajig if you will, for every insert effect. Built in into the insert, so if the plugin didn’t have it, i always could just use that. And in reality i always did, and never even went for the mix/wetdryvolume things in vsts after that.
Also it would come in handy for parallel compression because it’s quicker than having to create a group track.
