Using your ears is fine, However, with compressors that feature
automatic make up gain, it could be quite tricky to hear what the
compressor is actually doing, because the gain is being made up in
real time as you adjust the controls. For this reason, it would be
great to have the gain reduction meters read by voiceover. Also, I
agree with the person who said that it would be good to be able to
type in values for parameters in plugins.
