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. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
