room/headphone correction plugins and Live's broswer...

[Sau6on]

with the pletora of now common plugins such as VSX, Sonarworks, ARC, Vienna, Realphones, Waves NX and a dozen other... when can we expect
the logical next step of being able to either
1) route Live's audio browser to the master channel
2) put plugins on the browser / cue channel

So what specific use case are you using the browser for that requires this functionality?

Would that really be useful?
I suspect you're probably not even listening to music (ie. outside of Live) via room correction anyway... imo that's way more crucial than previewing stuff from Live's Browser.
Sonarworks has a feature called "system wide" that sits just before your sound card output, just use this and you'll be good to go (I'm doing a similar thing from my sound card app that offers an eq on the master), everything that you listens to fro your computer is room corrected this way.

Reaper has this feature (at least I think the feature you’re describing), and it’s frankly awesome. I can’t get Sonarworks’ external app to work on my PC for some reason, and I’d rather have my plugins only running within my audio software anyway, not as some kind of systemwide overlay. makes a ton of sense to be able to put plugins on your outputs separately from what’s going to be bounced to an export file.

the only thing that would be better would be if they made a passthrough box with its own DSP that let you plug main outs and headphone outs into it and load different profiles for each output type into the passthrough box so you didn’t have to switch correction settings when you go from monitors to headphones and vice versa.

One potential solution is to use Blue Cat Audio Connector;

Send from Live to any standalone plugin host - think of it like a pseudo-systemwide setup, where you can choose exactly which apps get the "systemwide" treatment as opposed to every single app on the system.
