Great Product! Love the freedom and flexability. Please keep up the great work!!! I have found that when mixing it would be nice to have a digital indication of where the level is. Example with the dial I am not sure if its exactly at 0 or if it is at 0.2 - I imagine a little box above each dial would do the trick. black background with green numbers! Maybe this is a bit monkish but just wanted to suggest it becuase mixing has caused me some frustrations.

Kind Regards!

I also love the product but agree with David about the level meter. My old eyes really have trouble reading the meter. A numeric digital readout would help. Thanks

Another suggestion - It would be nice to be able to have a "reset" to default settings for the drummer sessions. Maybe its already in there and I just dont see it. Also a reset for the layers to bring everything back to 0. sometimes I start turning knobs around on 15 layers and I just want to start over. I have learned to save often so going back to a more orginal file is pretty hard to keep track. Anyways thanks for your time.

Don't know if this is what you're looking for but a right click on any knob will take it back to it's default position. On the gain and balance knobs, for instance, it will take them back to the 12 oclock position.

Hope this helps.

You are the knob master, Bill. I didn't know about the right click trick!

Another cool feature for mixing would be an "Apply to all" button where you could copy all the effects settings of a layer and apply them to all riffs with layers that were taged/named the same. Maybe that concept could be applied to gains and pan levels the same way. Just an idea.

DrJam you ROCK!! Peace!!!

I've been practising that right click action for years, it's the only way to perfect it :lol:

Thanks for the tip Bill that helps one with one of the items.

One thing I was thinking about today was if you hovered the mouse over the dials maybe it could return a title window revealing the value that the dial is on? (like a mouse over command)
