Is Picard that frozen food brand Robin? ;))

What you need if you are paid $300/h is what is called a B.Boy in a studio:
the guy who goes to the "hardware plugins wall" and turns the buttons 
for ya!
Optionnally, the same best boy will have done the coffee, and maybe
he have rolled those hilarous cigarettes!

Every plugin, AFAIK, can save presets. Are you trying to build 
"meta-presets"
for a bunch of plugins presets Jonetsu? And are you willing those 
meta-presets
to dynamically evolve, depending on audio tracks analysis, and having an 
infinite option box
where you can check "type of music produced/ kind of sound desired/ loudness
to achieve/ signal - noise ratio/ track 17 is solo1 at 1:32/ track 18 is 
solo2 at 2:45/
end of song is a 20" fade out/ not too much reverb except on female 
choir/ etc..?

Am not sure it's a cool thing (especially for the $300/h guy)) that machines
could replace humans for all. More, as heard in some medias, it's kind 
of danger...

Have fun, trying stuffs to give "life" to tracks!
