I'm in holiday (Crete, diving), but feel compelled to add
this to the discussion:
Metering post-fader is of no value at all to users who know
what they are doing, and possibly just confusing to others.
Metering downto -144 dB is complete nonsense.
If you want to improve this app, make both the faders and
meters *fixed size*, select that fixed size so it matches
the real resolution of the faders well, so we can finally
have a *reliable* gain setting for this chipset.
