Ya, I thought 10 tracks worth of FX in one bin might be a bad thing, that's why I stopped at 4 stereo channels
I was wondering about the meters/channel, this is my first look at JS, and obvious to me is the need to study the documentation and options some more.
As for the Serial Appearance of the FX Chain, when I saw the FX matrix, one of my second thoughts was "Why isn't there an FX-Chain Matrix", Maybe in a panel that folds in and out of the FX-Chain Dialog Box. Or maybe some clever way to display the Pins in the FX List in the FX-Chain Dialog Box. The only way available now to not boggle the mind serial/parallel processing in the FX-chain would be to change the FX name in the bin to something like EQ1-2,EQ3, EQ4....
Realistically, I would agree about the confusion, and would use separate Sends/tracks in most cases
