First, I noticed the mouse-over help/explanation for each setting does not pop up. An explanation of the settings box should pop up on each setting when moused over for a second by default, yes? EDIT: Ahh, I see, you have to right-click and click "What's This?" This actually makes better sense - Bravo! I also love the option to Type a value. Very handy! I did notice some options do not have a "What's This?" button, such as "Asymptotic mode deform factor (strictness)" on the Bass Clipper. I can list any settings that do not have an explanation if that's helpful.
We don't have a description for all the settings yet. No need to make a list, we can see which are missing, and we just need to spend some time on fixing that.

Quality on DeClipper currently doesn't go past 98%, should go to 100% yes?
No, 100% would cause infinite CPU usage, and 99% is twice as high as 98%. Which is why 98% is the maximum. (I realize now that that might not be the best possible way to visualize things).

... is on by default on a fresh install. Is this intentional?
On startup, a preset is loaded. We kinda have to do that because there's not really a good "default" for everything.
We could of course just load that preset for its default settings and then turn everything off, not sure if that would be better though.
If you make a preset, I would always recommend starting from an existing preset.

Natural Dynamics section - Click Band Interactions - Change from Off to On - Now there's no way to turn Band Coupling back off unless hitting the tiny gray corner, it could be a bit better labeled or something... Also, when clicking Band Coupling to On, the Band Coupling percentage value is set based on where the mouse pointer was clicked on the "Band coupling off" button.
You can always drag the slider back to the left, which is off. (off = 0%). Is that unclear? Since it's a slider, where you click is indeed the setting that you get.

I also noticed the Presets are very well laid out - it might be nice to have the ability to have a description of what the Processing Setting does or is used for - maybe another right click and a "What's This"?
We have a field for preset descriptions, so that should be possible.

Other than that, everything looks Awesome! WAY clearer interface, IMHO
Great!

Also, is it time to add the ability for a greater processing latency such as 8192 samples for (theoretically) higher levels of quality? I could see this being especially valuable for the VST versions...
I don't think it will help with audio quality. For every latency increase step, the effect on the quality is half of what it was for the previous step. So 1024 to 2048 has twice as much effect as 2048 to 4096, and going to 8192 would only have half the effect of that step. And higher latencies may cause other issues. So, maybe?
