One of my users made me realize that explicit information about compatibility of stock preset was missing from the GiraFX docs & tutorials. Here is a table of the compatibility status of each stock preset when using the GiraFX lib.
- "Yes" means that you can use it safely. There is usually no GiraFX equivalent for these because they simply work!
- "No" means a bold "no". Don't mess with these!
- "N/A" means it works but it is not aplicable in GiraFX context.
- "Incomplete" means that the preset will work but with side-effects. Common problems are reliance on project size that interfere with GiraFX mixer flow or loss of transparency. There is a GiraFX equivalent to most of them (soon all of them!)
