Someone said that they were using meterbridge and another app to
monitor inputs to JAMin and they thought it would be a good thing if
they were included in JAMin. You replied that you agreed. I don't
remember what list it was on but I'm sure I could find it. I think it
might have been Joern's first post on the DC offset problem.

You were complaining about too many things being included in JAMin.
I was just pointing out that you also want more things in JAMin.

I agree but many times I don't have anything but the stereo inputs.
I'm doing mastering for other people. If I'm mixing or recording I'll
adjust at the source.

How can it effect the audio if it's set to 0 by default? Also, it
is useful for mastering. I'm thinking about putting it somewhere out of
the way so that if you don't want to use it it will be off by default.

At the moment I'm having to run externally through my BBE to get the
delays set the way I want them. I don't like having to go
digital->analog->digital just to get a couple of per band delays.
