Hello, I am asking for the ability to add/move plug-ins to different slots (rows) in the mixer channel as it is solved in Logic Pro or Pro Tools.
It's about leaving an empty slot between plugins.
This solution makes it easier to manage plugins.

For a practical example: in the first line I put only the preamps, in the second the tape recorder, in the next EQ, etc. Theoretically, I can turn off the second line on all channels with three clicks (e.g. to compare the before/after effect). If I have a different chain on a channel, e.g. Preamp, Eq, comp..., I will turn off EQ using the above method. And here it would be useful to have the option to drag EQ to the third slot/line and leave the second one empty.

Second request:
Request to add a button that will allow you to deactivate/activate all plugins in one line in the mixer console. We have a similar global button for disabling/enabling plugins, but another one would be useful to a selected line. Combined with my previous request, this would be a great weapon.

All the best.

It has always baffled me why Studio One's insert are so arbitrary. What pro level DAW DOESN'T allow you to arrange your inserts so that you can turn off a ROW across all channels, and have all of a specific VST on one horizontal line across all plugins.

This is a basic workflow process that needs to be added ASAP.
