It’s also a bit worrying how fast we went from “inconsistent level response” to “practical solutions”.
I think it would be nice to have some official recommendations for MOD plugins – in particular new/future plugins!
I’ll second @fps original suggestions. (1) sounds good to me. (2)+(4) may be problematic with existing pedalboards, but I think it’s a good idea regardless (and better do it sooner than later). (3) is tricky. maybe not fix existing Plugins, but recommend it for all new plugins. Some plugin-authors may provide options for existing plugins like @brummer already did.
A wiki-page “best practices for DSP on the MOD” comes to mind. any takers?
