PS: If you would use it in general to e.g. drive a pre fader compressor
or to generally mix with trim pod and fader, you are making something
completely wrong, either if you boost or attenuate. For a DAW mixer it
should be a feature just in case, assuming you have bad luck with the
signal of a single channel and don't want to remix 20 other channels.
An analog mixer needs a trim pot, because the input not necessarily is
line level for all tasks of the analog mixer.
