Is it a better practice to have what could be multiple plugins patched in one big patch or as multiple plugins (given of course that you nail the event sequence)? Or does it not matter?

I've noticed issues arising in edit mode after a plugin gets too large but am not sure if it effects the way it functions.

It depends..I find its best to break things into separate devices that do one thing well, if you can. Its more flexible, and easier to automate and edit the devices.

However, sometimes you want to be able to recall a whole process within m4l, so you need a big device. Also you only have to worry about keeping track of one device if you update it.

I guess in that case it's just a case by case scenario then?

ok smartass haha! i guess my real question was about the stability of max for live in such a case. In which case will I encounter less crashes and odd behaviors.

One big plugin or multiple?
