Description

When testing out version 1.2.0 RC1 I noticed when you have effects added to your mixer, audio such as the metronome ticking sound and audio previewing sounds from the browser are affected by those effects.
I notice this when I was messing around with an EQ by over exaggerating its settings and noticed that the sounds mentioned above were being altered because of it.
Also these are the two instances I have found but I would imagine any audio that is coming through the browser would be affected as well.
Overall this doesn't seem like it should be intentional, especially the metronome, the browser audio maybe.
Not sure if anyone else experiences this?
I can kind of see the browser reacting this way to let you know what the audio will sound like in your project, but might be nice to be able to turn this on and off.
(If this post should be split into two separate posts please let me know and I will fix it)

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with exaggerated mixer EQ settings, then compare metronome ticks and browser audio previews with the mixer effects enabled. Determine whether both audio paths should bypass mixer effects or whether browser preview behavior should be optional; done means the intended audio is unaffected and the behavior is covered by verification.
