Feature idea: settings preset buttons #171

Since sliders are either left- (inputs) or right- (outputs) justified - wouldn't it be useful, to place preset buttons between those blocks? Use case: I listen to the music while coding and it is routed through the speakers. However when someone calls me on Teams, or I have a scheduled meeting on Teams I have to move sliders in a different configuration and press several M buttons (mute / unmute channels). Having big and easy-to-press buttons in the middle of the window would allow for rapid reconfiguration of the mixer.

I would suggest making a graphical mock-up to be able to discuss the idea.

Another option would be to introduce a toolbar. Or to put these buttons at the right edge of the space occupied by the menu bar.
