- Keep plugins that are a crucial part of the sound design and define the character of a sound, e.g. AutoTune vocal effects or extreme filtering to completely change the tone of a sound
- Keep filter automation
- Keep all plugins on sounds that are sound effects in themselves, such as booms, sweeps, or risers
