Hi! I kinda understand that having MB limiters + clippers can be useful (so I'll enable that - it's just a matter of making the clipper a slider with a different value instead of an "instead of" checkbox). I'm not too use about some other things, so let me ask why:

In my opinion from a user's standpoint, I'd eliminate the graphic EQ entirely and have instead the paraEQ in its place. The graphic EQ is too difficult to draw out a smooth curve with a mouse. ParaEQ as far more easier to manipulate. Besides that, the MB output mix controls already serve as a band-for-band graphic EQ. How many EQ filters does one really need to have in a chain? It seems redundant.
Well, right now you can choose if you want it to be a graphic EQ or a parametric. I know lots of people who prefer graphic..... And I need room for the display anyway, so removing it doesn't seem to have any advantages.

Noise Reduction section could be built into the MB 1 section sitting at the input and assisting MB1 handle noisy program material when needed to. Now that there's a clipper in MB 1 and 2, in MB 1 the Noise Gate could replace the Peak Limiter. Or, turn MB2 entirely into a MB limiter
Yes, but then it's placed after the AGC, and I would need to send the AGC attenuation values to MB1 to compensate for them again. What's the purpose of this proposal, except for removing a stage from the GUI?

TruBass feature could be coupled into the ParaEQ section to help further smooth out bass harmonics (before MB), instead of being its own stand-alone section
True Bass isn't something like an EQ. It actually generates tones that weren't there in the original. So it shouldn't be mixed with an EQ.

Single Band could (if possible) be rewritten into a soft Limiter before the Adv Clipper.
Here it gets interesting. Why would you want a soft limiter before the advanced clipper? There already is a limiter (instead of clipper) mode if you want to use that. Just enable "Limit instead" under "Advanced Clipper".
