Description

Your idea

Maybe it is an idea to have a button in the mixer behind "Audio FX" like a switch/check button/box that can turn all plugins off and a switch/check after pan?

Problem to be solved

This would solve needing to turn off all effects by hand or pannings when wanting to hear the score without them. This time adds up when working with projects using a lot of parts.

Prior art

My dad pointed this out, because in his preferred audio-editing software he can press a keybind to turn all FX off. He uses Pro Tools, but I am not sure that is the application he meant. But I feel this shouldn't be too hard to implement.

Research direction

Start by locating the mixer and its existing Audio FX and pan controls in the MuseScore desktop application. Review how those controls affect playback and identify the relevant UI and audio entry points. Done means providing a clear way to disable all effects and panning together without changing each part individually.
