innacurate scaling on knobs.

Post by martygras »

I have noticed that the markings on the knobs aren't accurate (aside from having no dB markings of any sort) they just aren't scaled to match the actual value.

Ya want proof?
Try adjusting an eq freq value. The knob has marked delineations and there's a pop-up window showing the current actual value. Notice how they don't match?

Yeah... not too helpful.

I take notes on frequency changes while recording for certain instruments, for reference later on other projects, and noticed that most of my notes are wrong now because of this. I wrote down the value shown on the knob, not the pop-up window. I don't even know if the pop-up is accurate.

Do you have plans to correct/improve this?

Thanks.

Ah, I see what you mean. This was on a todo list and got demoted for some reason or other. I'll take a look. As far as what's correct currently, the popup will always display the exact value that you hear. I'll get the UI markings to match that.

Who was that masked man?

Thanks, it will be nice to see accurate Hz in the eq's.
It would also be nice to have a meter in the compressor showing the amount of gain reduction actually going on. These gain reduction meters are helpful when determining where to set the threshold.
