For an anlog mixer this would be: Not using the fader of the mixer, but the synth volume for mixing, so you'll get 100% parasitic noise from effects, even if the synth volume is very low. Anyway, you want to build a remote control for digital mixers and can't care about wrong usage of good designed digital mixers and you can't care about bad designed digital mixers. -- http://iknowwhereyourcatlives.com/ _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
