Using global parts is not appropriate for me because the very reason I use VST Live is song parts that map the song structure so I do not have to create an automation track. This the best feature of VST Live for me : it greatly simplified effects programming. Actually, I do not have an automation track at all : only parts with one and sometime multiple stacks in a part.
On specific songs where I want to control effects myself, I have only one part with multiple stacks and I change stacks with a MIDI foot controller (e.g. Clean, Drive, Solo staks).
I understand that going from one part to another one containing the exact same stack creates the gap issue. What should I do in order to avoid this issue ? If I use the same VST but with a different preset, will the issue still arise ? Or do I need to have a different VST when going from one part to another ? And what about creating different stacks (different stack names) with the same VST inside ?
