The search and filter functionality when selecting a new plugin could be significantly improved. For example, it would help to filter by manufacturer (e.g., hide or include specific brands) and by category (e.g., EQ, Dynamics, FX), similar to the workflow in Pro Tools.
In return, the “Plugin Type” column could be omitted, as only VST3 plugins are supported anyway. Much more helpful for monitor engineers would be to display plugin latency directly in the list. This would allow for quick evaluation of whether a plugin is usable in a low-latency monitoring context.
Additionally, it would be useful to show expected DSP load for each plugin in the list. And once plugins are assigned to a chain, it would be great to see which DSP core they are running on and how much DSP power they consume. This would make it easier to diagnose performance issues and identify bottlenecks.
