Heh, non-controversial you say ;) One convention is that reduction meters got right to left (and presumably top to bottom, though I dont think I've never seen a vertical one). This is neccesary if the reduction measurement (attenuation etc.) is to have the same scale as a normal measurment. c.f. JAMin's compressor gain reduction meters: http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~swh/jamin-log-spectrum.png somewhat old screenshot, gut you can see the right-to-left meters and the bottom of each compressor section. - Steve
